Tull - Living In The Dub

Review by Dionne Choyce

Album Review: Living In The Dub by Tull Released in 1993, Living In The Dub by Tull stands as a curious artifact of the UK’s electronic music scene. Under the House umbrella, this album spins its magic through grooves that feel both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Released on Chrysalis Records with a remix credit to Tommy D, it's an effort that blends club energy with introspective vibes—a hallmark of early '90s British electronica. The tracklist is lean but impactful, featuring cuts like "Living In The Club," "Living In The Dub," and "Living In N.Y." It doesn't overstay its welcome, clocking in at just the right length for listeners who want something punchy yet memorable. Of these, two tracks particularly stand out. First up is “Living In The Club.” This one grabs you from the get-go with its infectious beat and atmospheric synths. You can almost picture smoky dancefloors packed with people moving in unison. What sticks with me about this tune isn’t just the rhythm—it’s how effortlessly it builds tension before releasing it into pure euphoria. The production feels raw, almost like they didn’t overthink it, which adds charm. It reminds me why house music became such a cultural force—it wasn’t trying too hard; it just worked. Then there’s “Living In The Dub,” the title track. If you’ve ever wondered what dub-infused house sounds like, here’s your answer. It’s got that deep bassline paired with echoey effects that make it sound otherworldly. Listening to this feels like floating underwater while hearing muffled beats from above. It’s hypnotic without being pretentious, experimental but still grounded enough to nod your head to. Honestly, it’s the kind of song I’d put on repeat late at night when I need to zone out. What strikes me most about Living In The Dub is how it balances accessibility with experimentation. It doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel, but it tweaks things just enough to keep it interesting. Tommy D’s remix touch likely played a role here—he knew when to add flair and when to step back. And let’s not forget the context: 1993 was a golden year for electronic music, with acts pushing boundaries left and right. Tull managed to carve their own niche amidst all that noise. Reflecting on this album now, it’s kinda wild how timeless it feels. Sure, some elements scream ‘90s, but the heart of it—the groove, the vibe—is ageless. It makes me wonder if anyone today could capture that same spark without leaning too heavily on nostalgia. Or maybe we’re better off letting albums like Living In The Dub exist in their own little bubble, untouched by time. Either way, it’s a gem worth revisiting—even if only to remind yourself that sometimes, simplicity speaks louder than complexity.
