Brazilian journalist and documentarian Bruno Natal is working on a new film called Dub Echoes, that explores the history and influence of Jamaican dub music. Shot in Kingston, London, New York, Los Angeles, and Rio de Janeiro, the film talks to reggae legends like Mad Professor and Sly and Robbie, as well as producers like 2 Many DJ's and Thievery Corporation, whose work has been heavily influenced by dub.

At first, one might think that reggae and dance music don't have much to do with each other. But that's a false perception. The documentary Dub Echoes aims to show how [the] Jamaican music invention called dub ended up influencing much of what we hear nowadays, notably in the dance music scene, transforming the studio [into] a musical instrument and giving way to all [kinds] of sonic experiments.

The producers have just released a trailer, which looks very cool.
