Keith Hudson’s »Nuh Skin Up Dub« is a deep, heavyweight dub album that stands as one of the most potent statements in the genre’s history. Released in 1979, this sonic masterpiece showcases Hudson’s signature dark, almost mystical production style, where heavy basslines, echo-drenched drums, and ghostly fragments of vocals swirl together in a hypnotic haze. Unlike the more polished, accessible dub records of the time, »Nuh Skin Up Dub« is raw, unfiltered, and experimental, pushing the boundaries of rhythm and space. Tracks like »Nuh Skin Up« and »Felt We Felt the Strain« pulse with an eerie, almost menacing energy, while Hudson’s masterful use of reverb and delay creates a soundscape that feels simultaneously expansive and claustrophobic. Often referred to as the »Dark Prince of Reggae,« Hudson had an uncanny ability to craft music that was both deeply meditative and unsettling, and »Nuh Skin Up Dub« is a prime example of his genius. It's a record that rewards deep listening—every spin reveals new layers of sonic detail, hidden textures, and dub wizardry. For fans of heavy, atmospheric dub, »Nuh Skin Up Dub« is an essential listen, a landmark recording that solidifies Keith Hudson’s status as one of the most visionary figures in reggae history.
