The Man Who Invented Dub: King Tubby, Sound Systems & the History of Reggae

1/29/2026
Before remix culture. Before electronic music. Before producers were artists. There was King Tubby. Born January 28, 1941, in Kingston, Jamaica, Osbourne Ruddock would become the quiet engineer who taught the world to listen differently. In this special Reggae Hour podcast episode, we journey through his life, legacy, and revolutionary impact on reggae and Jamaican music history. This is not a rushed biography. This is a deep cultural meditation. We explore the golden age of Jamaican sound systems, where the mixing board became an instrument. Through carefully placed King Tubby dub selections, we trace the birth, invention, and global echo of dub music โ€” an echo that still vibrates through hip hop, electronic music, and global sound culture today. Listen closely. Stay present. Let the sound breathe. ๐ŸŽถ EPISODE STRUCTURE & TRACKLIST ๐Ÿ”ฅ Opening Invocation African Fire Dub โ€” King Tubby ๐ŸŽ›๏ธ Act One: The Birth and the Silence Before Sound Cumberland โ€” King Tubby & Ring Craft Posse Smile โ€” King Tubby & Ring Craft Posse โšก Act Two: The Revolution When the Board Became an Instrument Tan Good โ€” King Tubby Dub Take Five โ€” King Tubby Faith in Dub โ€” King Tubby ๐ŸŒ Act Three: The Echo That Crossed the World Zion Dub Original โ€” King Tubby Dub on Upper 1st โ€” King Tubby Dubbing My Baby (Original) โ€” King Tubby ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ Closing Vibes & Meditation Jam Rock Spirit Love You โ€” King Tubby & Kevin MacLeod Psalm 92 This episode is narrated through the voices of Zionya and Mr. E, and produced by Reggae Hour โ€” where history is heard, not rushed.

When the Drum Goes Quiet: How Sly Dunbar Disciplined Reggae & Changed the World Forever

1/27/2026
When the drum goes quiet, the world listens. This special Reggae Hour tribute episode honors the life, discipline, and global legacy of Sly Dunbar โ€” one of the most influential rhythm architects in music history. Alongside Robbie Shakespeare, Sly helped shape reggae into a language the world could understand โ€” without ever losing its roots. From Kingston studios to global stages, from analog roots to digital futures, Slyโ€™s drumming taught us that rhythm is responsibility. In this one-hour episode, Mr. E and Zionia reason through: Why discipline mattered more than flash in Slyโ€™s playing How Sly & Robbie carried reggae across borders without dilution How the torch is now being carried forward by new and international artists โ€” including the Africaโ€“Caribbean connection that keeps reggae alive This is not an interview.

Coxsone Dodd Built Studio One โ€” But Who Really Made the Sound? | Reggae Hour

1/26/2026
Studio One changed music forever. But history doesnโ€™t tell itself โ€” people do. In this special episode of Reggae Hour, we reason through the legacy and controversy surrounding Clement โ€œCoxsoneโ€ Dodd, the visionary producer behind Studio One. Celebrated as the architect of Jamaicaโ€™s most influential label, Coxsone built a system that launched global sounds โ€” but also one that left many musicians unnamed, unpaid, and unheard. This episode explores power, authorship, and silence in early reggae history. We move from the birth of the sound system era, through questions of ownership and control, and into the music that defined a generation. This is not cancellation.

Winter Soldiers: Keeping the Fire Burning When the World Freezes

1/25/2026
When the storm hits and Babylon goes cold, where do you find your fire? In this special winter edition of Reggae Hour, we arenโ€™t just playing music โ€” we are reasoning on resilience. As snow, power outages, and cold winds sweep across the world outside, Mr. E and Zionya (Daughter of Zion) dig deep into the crates to uncover the sounds that have kept the people warm for generations. From Prince Buster facing the long winter of 1960s England, to the modern spiritual armor of todayโ€™s Winter Soldiers, this episode traces how reggae has always been more than music. It has been a fireplace for the diaspora โ€” a source of heat, unity, and strength when the physical world turns cold. This is a story of migration, survival, sound systems, and inner fire. A reminder that even when Babylon freezes, the spirit does not. ๐Ÿ”Š IN THIS EPISODE The History: How Caribbean migrants survived the winters of the UK, U.S., and Canada The Reasoning: Why warmth is both physical and spiritual The Music: A carefully curated journey through Rocksteady, Roots, and Dub ๐ŸŽถ FEATURED MUSIC (All Rights Reserved to the Artists) Prince Buster โ€“ Long Winter (The Foundation) Venice Beach Dub Club โ€“ Winter Soldiers (The Struggle) Malika Madremana โ€“ Lion in the Winter / Let Mi Lion Roam (The Strength) Giant Panda Guerrilla Dub Squad โ€“ Ginger Juice (The Healing) Plus more selections designed to melt the ice ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ ABOUT REGGAE HOUR Reggae Hour is the heartbeat of reggae culture โ€” preserving history, honoring the elders, and reasoning through sound.

Roots. Discipline. Testimony. This is not a hype interview. This is testimony. In this powerful episode of Reggae Hour, conscious reggae artist Blazโ€™em (Christopher Hale) sits down for a rare, unfiltered conversation about a 15-year journey rooted in Rastafari, discipline, and truth.

In this episode, he speaks openly about mistakes, accountability, spirituality, and why conscious reggae still matters in a world full of noise.

Religion, Royal Bloodlines & Spiritual Reasoning We open Episode 13 of Reggae Hour Salute with the powerful Mystic Revealers anthem โ€œReligionโ€, setting the tone for a deep, respectful reasoning session.

1/18/2026
We open Episode 12 of Reggae Hour Salute with the timeless anthem โ€œJahโ€™s Gloryโ€ by Third World, setting the tone for a deep and reasoned discussion on the divinity, legacy, and spiritual significance of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I.

1/18/2026
We open Episode 11 of Reggae Hour Salute with the powerful and grounding anthem โ€œFreedomโ€ by Aza Lineage, setting the vibration for a deep and necessary reasoning on Babylon systems โ€” how they operate, how they shape culture, and how conscious people learn to see through them. Mr. E and Zionya break down Babylon not as a buzzword, but as a lived reality โ€” touching on social conditioning, economic pressure, spiritual distraction, and the importance of awareness, discipline, and community. From there, we move into โ€œNinevehโ€ by Redeemm, a song that reinforces accountability, warning, and reflection โ€” before letting the rest of the music carry the message forward.

1/18/2026
Day Three of Reggae Hour Salute opens with a firestarter from Don Dada โ€“ Forward off his Forward We Continue EP โ€” setting the tone for a deep, necessary conversation. In this episode, Mr. E and Zionya take a bold stance on one of the worldโ€™s hardest truths: the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the growing call for justice and peace. This isnโ€™t politics โ€” itโ€™s principle. Itโ€™s about humanity, freedom, and the oneness reggae has always stood for. Zionya and Mr. E reflect on how reggae has forever carried the message of the oppressed โ€” from Africaโ€™s liberation movements to Jamaicaโ€™s cry against Babylon, and now, the worldโ€™s plea for peace. After the talk, the music continues the reasoning โ€” unity riddims, righteous harmonies, and the timeless echo that says: โ€œOne Love means all people.โ€ Tune in for healing, culture, and roots vibration that still dares to speak truth to power. ๐ŸŽถ FULL TRACKLIST (FROM IMAGES + OPENING SELECTION) Forward โ€“ Don Dada Precious World โ€“ I Threes West Indies โ€“ Koffee X โ€“ Chronixx Virtuous Woman โ€“ RickyDan the Barber aka D Dan Concrete Jungle โ€“ Judy Mowatt Almighty Father โ€“ Lion Heart Why Canโ€™t We Be Friends โ€“ Predator Dub Assassins Free Africa โ€“ Kleva Roots (Produced by Oga Henz) Set Jah People Free (New Mix) โ€“ Redeemm Good Ole Vybz โ€“ KQualiti Tempted to Touch (Live 1Xtra in Jamaica 2019) โ€“ Beres Hammond Man A Bad Man โ€“ Lady G ๐Ÿ”— AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE (FTC COMPLIANT) This episode of Reggae Hour Salute contains affiliate relationships that support the show. โ€ข Zeevo Life โ€” Reggae Hour may earn a commission if you shop wellness and plant-based vitality through zeevo dot life using promo code REGGAEHOUR for a discount.

โ€œMarcus Garvey to Traorรฉ: Africa Rising, Babylon Fadingโ€

1/17/2026
This episode of Reggae Hour Salute opens with a foundation stone: Burning Spear โ€“ Marcus Garvey. From there, Mr. E and Zionya step into one of the most important conversations of the entire series โ€” Africa reclaiming itself. We break down the recent African coups, with a focused look at Burkina Faso and the leadership of Ibrahim Traorรฉ, examining what self-determination looks like in real time when nations reject colonial control and economic extraction. The conversation connects African liberation directly to Jamaican independence, Garveyism, and Rastafarian consciousness, showing how reggae has always been the global messenger for these movements. This is not hype. This is history moving forward. The music that follows carries that same revolutionary spirit โ€” roots, resistance, and reason โ€” reminding us that reggae has always documented the fall of Babylon long before headlines caught up. ๐ŸŽถ FULL TRACKLIST (FROM IMAGES + OPENING SELECTION) Marcus Garvey โ€“ Burning Spear Culture Brown โ€“ Move Up (Album: Go Dehaug 2025) I Appreciate Dads โ€“ Ecspedition Loyalty โ€“ Don Dada Give Me Long Days โ€“ Blazem Rasta (Aire State Riddim) Is This Love โ€“ Bob Marley & The Wailers Amsterdam Everywhere I Am โ€“ Cheezy and the Crackers Love Is the Answer โ€“ Iyah Angel (Jah SoulJah Riddim) Sick for Love โ€“ King I Music Focus Herbs โ€“ Stoneface Priest (Medi Riddim) Inna Yard โ€“ Anthony B We Can Do Better โ€“ Sizzla In Addis Ababa (Dub) โ€“ Runkus ๐Ÿ”— AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE (FTC COMPLIANT) This episode of Reggae Hour Salute contains affiliate relationships. โ€ข Zeevo Life โ€” Reggae Hour may earn a commission if you choose to support your wellness journey through zeevo dot life.

Cloth, Crown & Consciousness: How Reggae Wears Resistance โ€” Reggae Hour Salute Day 2

1/17/2026
Day two of Reggae Hour Salute continues with a powerful meditation on reggae fashion as culture, resistance, and identity. This episode opens in roots fashion with Lee โ€œScratchโ€ Perry โ€“ King of the Animals, then Mr. E and Zionya step into a conversation about how reggae fashion has never been about trends โ€” itโ€™s about truth, ancestry, spirituality, and self-definition.

The spirit of conscious reggae never rests. We open this episode with Marcia Griffiths โ€“ All My Life, a reminder that reggae is not a moment โ€” itโ€™s a lifelong mission.

These are the spaces where conscious reggae is protected, amplified, and passed forward.

Why Rebel Salute Matters: The Festival That Refused Slackness

1/16/2026
Rebel Salute was never just a stage show โ€” it was a statement. In Episode 2 of Reggae Hour Salute, we break down what Rebel Salute truly represents, why it became one of the most respected cultural gatherings in reggae history, and why its absence in 2026 left a real void in conscious music. Starting with Mystic Revealers โ€“ โ€œBlue Nileโ€, the episode sets the tone for a deeper conversation on roots, culture, and standards. Mr. E and Zai-O-Nya unpack how Rebel Salute stood firm against slackness, hype culture, and commercial pressure โ€” choosing instead to uplift message music, spiritual grounding, and lyrical integrity. We talk about: โ€ข Why Rebel Salute rejected party-first programming โ€ข How it became a sanctuary for conscious reggae โ€ข Why the festival mattered globally, not just in Jamaica โ€ข And why Reggae Hour stepped in โ€” not to replace it โ€” but to hold the space while the culture heals after Hurricane Melissa This episode is about preservation, intention, and responsibility. If you ever wondered why Rebel Salute meant so much to artists, fans, and the wider reggae movement โ€” this is the episode that explains it. ๐ŸŽถ Music featured includes selections from Mystic Revealers, Culture, Tony Roy, Ras Oneilly, and more โ€” rooted, militant, and timeless. ๐Ÿ“… Reggae Hour Salute continues January 15thโ€“17th with underground roots reggae you likely havenโ€™t heard before โ€” straight from the source. ๐Ÿ”” Follow Reggae Hour on your favorite streaming platform ๐ŸŒ Visit ReggaeHour.com to stay locked into the culture ๐ŸŽง Talk Segment Summary (for show notes / timestamps) Topic: What Rebel Salute stood for, why it mattered to reggae culture, and why Reggae Hour felt compelled to fill the space during its recovery period.
