Dub techno is the fusion of minimal techno with the characteristics of dub. Songs of this genre can typically be identified by heavy use of delay and reverb applied to minor chords, structured around a minimal techno drum track. Those characteristisc are used to convey atmospheric deepness and enrichment of textures through sound effects like echo, reverb, phasing and other manipulations of sound.
The origins of dub techno can be traced back to experimentation by Basic Channel in 1990's Berlin, as they sought to combine the rhythmic elements of stripped-down Detroit techno with the dub recording process and effects of Jamaican dub reggae. However, it is important to note that most contemporary dub techno artists do not cite dub reggae as a source of inspiration, and so the development of the genre has largely been unhitched from its origins.
