A very close cousin of the Trip-Hop and Illbient genres, Electro Dub is another open-ended downtempo style designed for after-hours consumption. The things that classify Electro Dub is the Dub-inspired use of lo-fi programming, heavy delay, and deep reggae elements, all of which act as chilled seasonings in a more modern, electronic production. Artists such as Mad Professor and Lee Scratch Perry can certainly be cited as having a prominent influence in this style, pioneering the fusion of analog electronics and reggae/dub roots before artists like Boards of Canada and Rhythm & Sound took it even further into the electronic music realm.
