An alternative spelling of dub; to add sound effects, music, or new dialogue to a film or recording; or a nightclub style of music.
From dub, itself from dubbing (the process of adding sound). Dub as a noun in music came from Jamaican reggae studios in the 1960s where engineers would 'dub' new vocal and instrumental tracks over existing recordings.
When Jamaican sound engineers started dubbing reggae records in the 1960s—stripping down tracks and adding echo and reverb—they accidentally invented an entirely new genre that would influence hip-hop, electronic music, and modern production worldwide.
