Hands-on workshops and podcasts examining dubs science
Our workshops sit at the heart of The Science of Dub where knowledge is shared,
Workshops & Knowledge Sharing
Alongside performances, Dub Engine runs workshops that open up the craft of dub engineering to artists, producers, students, and communities.
Our workshops sit at the core of The Science of Dub, treating sound as structure, space as instrument, and dub as a living system. We explore how bass, delay, rhythm, and movement shape emotional and physical experience. Rooted in sound-system culture but looking forward, the workshops connect dub’s heritage with immersive and spatial audio practices, revealing how music is built, transformed, and felt — not just heard.
Our Workshops
We have been running community-focused, artist-led workshops since 1999, with over 25 years of experience working with artists, students, and local communities. Our sessions are practical, accessible, and hands-on, designed to demystify technology while honouring cultural knowledge. Workshops run regularly in and around the community, adapting to different spaces and skill levels — from intimate learning sessions to large-scale immersive sound demonstrations.
- Dub mixing as a live, performative practice
- The relationship between sound, space, and movement
- Classic sound-system techniques and contemporary immersive audio
- Front-end & back-end editors
- Dub as a system, not just a style
- Tree-list element view
Workshops are practical, accessible, and rooted in listening, experimentation, and shared knowledge.
Next Workshop
Our next workshop takes place at Rich Mix, London, led by legendary dub engineer Scientist alongside UK producer Greg Hunter. This immersive session explores massive sound, spatial mixing, and live dub processes, showing how sound systems and immersive audio transform dub into a physical, three-dimensional experience — with space itself becoming part of the music
