reduidub

Reduidub is a term that has appeared in informal discussions and in some micro-communities within music production. It does not refer to a single, widely recognized movement or style, and its exact meaning can vary by context. The coinage appears to derive from a combination of the prefix re- indicating repetition or processing and the word dub, referencing the dub music tradition that emphasizes studio manipulation, heavy use of reverb, delay, and filtering.

In practice, reduidub is often used to describe a technique in which an original audio track is subjected to another layer of dubbing and effects to produce a new texture. This can involve applying dub-like effects to stems or master tracks, re-amping, or layering loops to create a dense, echo-rich sound characteristic of experimental electronic or reggae-influenced dub music. The concept overlaps with established ideas of remixing and re-dubbing in music production, and some practitioners may use the term to signal an approach that specifically emphasizes recursion or self-referential dubbing.

Because reduidub lacks a formal definition or consensus in scholarly or industry sources, its usage is not standardized. It may appear as a stylistic descriptor in artist bios, a label name, or a project title rather than a formal subgenre. When encountered, it is advisable to consult the specific context or the artist's notes to understand what they intend by reduidub.
