Dub Selector

Well, I have found an amazing Flash site that I wanted to share. It's called "Infinite Wheel," and it contains "The Dub Selector," one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

Dub, for those of you who may not know about it, is defined by All-Music Guide as follows: "Dub derives its name from the practice of dubbing instrumental, rhythm-oriented versions of reggae songs onto the B-sides of 45 rpm singles, which evolved into a legitimate and accepted style of its own as those re-recordings became forums for engineers to experiment with the possibilities of their mixing consoles. ... The downtempo atmospherics and bass- and rhythm-heavy textures of dub had a lasting influence outside of reggae, ...; during the '90s, dub was frequently incorporated into the melting-pot eclecticism of underground avant-garde rock, and Britain's thriving electronica/drum'n'bass scene owed a great deal to dub's mixing and production techniques."

Now that you know what Dub is, go check out The Dub Selector. Basically, it enables you create and mix your own Dub tracks by manipulating comical little characters & widgets. You've got to see it to understand it, so check it out. I think you'll find it impressive.
