As an aural clone to Autre's spring 21 doppelgänger issue, Dubble Stuff is a gamut-running exploration of musical genres that is everything and nothing at once; an avatar perpetually in search of itself.

For Autre's Sixth Friday Playlist We Invite You To Fire Up The Biggest Spliff You Can Roll and Listen To These Dub Tracks →
Once in a while I find myself pulling out my dub and reggae records: Lee “Scratch” Perry’s ‘Ape-ology,’ The Congos’ ‘Heart of the Congo,’ Augustus Pablo’s ‘King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown,’ and even that glory hogging egomaniac Bob Marley, who just couldn’t live without the toe (I’ll quantify soon). I don’t listen to these records for the same reasons that hippie stoner burnouts do, which is primarily for the sake of wearing Birkenstocks and drug rugs to more occasions. I have always loved the music’s textures: the melodies swirling into one another all tied together through one very simple and elegant beat. It is very heady music, indeed, but it’s also very musical music. Click here to listen to the playlist.
