What is milk dub?

"Milk dub" is a type of reggae music that originated in Jamaica in the 1970s. It is characterized by its heavy basslines, echoing effects, and use of samples from a variety of genres. Milk dub is often associated with the work of producer Lee "Scratch" Perry, who is considered a pioneer in the genre. The term "milk dub" is believed to have originated from a mishearing of the phrase "dub plate," which refers to a special type of vinyl record used by DJs. Milk dub continues to influence modern music genres such as electronic, hip hop, and pop.
