Dub kind of started as something to make for a singles B-Side, an alternative mix really of the A Side. It's a genre in it's own right though, with many different forms coming from it. Fundamentally it is still Reggae in Rhythm & Structure just with as you say Electronics (Delays and Reverbs in the main when it started, then with filters and additional sound collaging/editing coming later).

Dub is, for me, the root of all production in electronic music. It's more of a method and a mindset than a sound per se, and its best artists produce dub mixes in a live sense (using a mixing desk and effects as a live instrument). This is the approach that really started with Lee Perry. Build your signal paths, start your sources rolling, then jam.
