24 hours (or more) of all shades of Dub music.
Originally expressed as the B-side on Jamaican seven-inch singles, the Version or Dub has taken on a life of its own. No longer in the shadow of the
vocal or A-side, producers and DJs have made the dub version an art form unto itself. Tune in as we set off on a version excursion and play dub-wise
selection without objection.
