Foraged Beatz 002

Foraged Beatz 002 — Dubwise: The Art of the Version

Bass. Space. Echo.

Episode 2 digs into roots reggae and dub, tracing how Jamaican engineers turned the mixing desk into an instrument. Vocals disappear, rhythms open up, and fragments return through tape echo and spring reverb—giving familiar recordings another life.

Through the sounds of King Tubby, Lee “Scratch” Perry, Augustus Pablo and Scientist, we explore the studio experiments that helped shape remix culture and left their fingerprints across jungle and electronic music.

THE DIG explores the history. THE ESSENCE lets the records take over with a continuous selection of roots and dub.

Foraged Beatz airs Saturdays, 10 PM–midnight Eastern, on WBCR-LP 97.7 FM, Great Barrington, Massachusetts, and online at berkshireradio.org.

Digging deep. Broadcasting roots.
