King Tubby, real name Osbourne Ruddock, also known as the dub originator, started his Tubby's Home Town Hi Fi sound system in the late 60s. He 'invented' dub, by reworking Duke Reid's rocksteady classics. Throughout the 70s he was the foremost dub mixer in Jamaica, cutting crucial dubs for almost every Jamaican producer. He also took up pruducing and laid down some heavy digital slices. On February 6, 1989, he was murdered and reggae music lost one of its most creative figures.
