Devil Dub is the 1999 debut album by San Francisco Bay Area band Ben Wa consisting of "Dr. Ware" and "House"(Limbomaniacs, Tommy Guerrero, Buckethead's Giant Robot, MCM & the Monster).^[2]

After forming in 1997, contributing to several compilations and releasing an EP in 1998, Devil Dub was the first full-length release by the duo. House sums up:

The way Devil Dub was created never placed us all in the studio together at the same time (...) Each person came in for a day or two and we recorded them improvising. First we had Brain play to some click tracks in a studio and then sampled him back in our laboratory. Armed with these beats Dr. Ware and I created the grooves, and asked everyone else to come in as their schedules permitted. (...) It's like acting in a Science Fiction film that incorporates computer generated effects- the actors know there WILL be a giant animated monster in front of them, but they have to wait for a screening to see what the hell it looks like!
— House^[3]

Guest musicians finally included avant-garde guitarist Buckethead, drummer Brain (with Primus at this time) and DJ Disk (from the Invisibl Skratch Piklz).

Critics were overwhelmingly warm with the URB magazine calling it "one of the most crucial records of any genre released this year".^[4]^[5]
