Killing Joke - In Dub (2014)

Killing Joke in Dub is exactly what it sounds like: a long-awaited compilation of dub remixes that has “been in the planning for almost 25 years,” according to the band. The post-punks are pioneers in remix culture, having released dub and dance remixes of their songs since the late 70s.
The first disc of Killing Joke in Dub is dominated by remixes by bassist Martin “Youth” Glover; the second features remixes by Nine Inch Nails and the Bloody Beetroots; the third is highlighted by a remix by The Orb.
A statement from “Youth” notes that the band were “surrounded by dub in Ladbroke Grove in the late 1970s,” and that curating “four hours of dub annihilation” has “been an epic voyage” for him and the rest of the band. “Compiling the best of the legacy and distilling all new dub plates into a definitive collection was never going to be easy,” Glover said. “This album has taken over a year to lovingly put together and of all of the many productions and mixes I have been fortunate enough to have been involved with, this one, I’m sure, will be one of those that tells the story best and the one that makes me feel extremely proud to be a part of the phenomena that is Killing Joke.”
