Wanderwelle - Gathering of the Ancient Spirits

thanks for the thoughtful opening to the thread. Personally, i like the way dub techno brings together dub (as in King Tubby), intense rhythm driven structures (as in what i like in techno) and the tonality that comes from ambient and drone/experimental. So the dub techno that I listen to most is something of a perfect synthesis for me. I also like the minimalism that dub techno can do so well, in the sense of taking a limited palette and exploiting it inventively without getting boring or suddenly throwing in an 'eclectic' track.

And the award for best dub techno track of 2018 goes to...

I found dub techno helped me deal with anxiety during a stressful stage in my life. working in much the same way as more monolithic glacial ambient releases (Lawrence English's 'Viento' - a recording of an arctic storm holds a special place in my heart for its ability to calm and cocoon, check it out).

I agree with Mark that it's almost like a palette cleanser when you have overdone other genres.
