Iration Steppas, King earthquake, The disciples, Jah Tubbys, Operation sound system are some names to start on if you feel the UK sound.

You should check the Blood & Fire and Pressure Sounds releases - a few personal favourites are:
Glen Brown - Termination Dub
King Tubby - Freedom Sounds in Dub
Keith Hudson - Brand
Yabby U - King Tubby's Prophesy of Dub
Joe Gibbs & The Professionals - No Bones For The Dogs
Those are heavy.
The 2 Dub Gone Crazy sets are great also

and aquarius by herman chin loy, not heavy on the echochamber, but a beauty
some of my personal favorites:
the impact allstars-java java java java
king tubby meets roots radics-dangerous dub
harry mudie meets king tubby´s in dub conference vol 1.
augustus pablo-king tubby´s meets rockers uptown
the skatalites- herb dub, collie dub

Go for the trojan dub boxed sets, there are at least two, with 50 tracks on each, for around a tenner, absolutely wicked. Vinyl and CD available i think.
Christmas is standard stock up on trojan boxed sets time, love that label.

as a starting point i'd definitely recommend the blood and fire compilations, dubwise & otherwise volumes 1 and 2. can't think of a bad track on either.

very true about blood&fire
the mastering is very nice, not over compressed like some pressure sounds.
also, augustus pablo-ital dub
how did i forget that?

Dub: Original Bass Culture is a mint soundtrack to a mashup, think its on Pressure Sounds
There's plenty out there tho fella, its all about the old school dub

Lloyd "Bullwackie" Barnes.
The Basic Channel guys have been reissuing steadily from the Wackies catalog. Any of the Bullwackies All-Stars releases (Dub Unlimited, Free For All) are well worth your money.

The showcase albums from Jezzreel and Wayne Jarrett on Wackies are hot too.

There are over 150 King Tubby albums out there, add around a 100 of Lee Perry products, start collecting eh.
We are talking about 30+years of musical production,
check out everyting out on Blood & Fire label, it's a collection of musical gems.
Go to the On-U-Sound for raw dub experryments, switch to Conscious Sounds for "Classic" UK steppa dubs.
Check versionist.com for fresh underground stuff, lotsa tunes there that stand out, check Ya Bass or Earlyworm there for some killah dubs.
& don't forget french dub scene-pushin boundaries forward with sounds like High Tone, Zenzile, Brain Damage.
I guess it's safe to say that dub is my favourite subject.
