dance to dub!?!?!?!?!?

― ddb (ddb), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 17:39 (twenty years ago)

dub is basically the greatest thing ever about working at emusic. so much amazing dub stuff on the site. it comprises about 60% of my listening these days. i love how it fucks with the listener, opening with an extremely catchy vocal hook and then taking it away until the last 10 seconds so that the whole time you're waiting for it to return. i love that there's no center to the music, that "songwriting" is simply fucking with levels. i want dub sides to every song ever.

and hell yeah dance to dub!!

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 17:40 (twenty years ago)

dance really really slowly (i think dancehall is better to dance to, but dub can happen too).

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 17:41 (twenty years ago)

i like dancing to dub cuz basically it's free form interpretive dance crossed with hippie spins. i.e. GRATE while high and/or drunk!!

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 17:42 (twenty years ago)

you can sway to dub...but id say DANCEHALL is way better to dance to.

dub is about mentals

― ddb (ddb), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 17:43 (twenty years ago)

yeah, i tend to dig more uptempo stuff... but hey...

emusic dubness... what's your fav?

― msp (msp), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 17:43 (twenty years ago)

― msp (msp), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 17:46 (twenty years ago)

msp i made a best-of dub mix from emusic:

Mad Professor, "Your Rights/My Rights"
Augustus Pablo, "Satta Dub"
Bob Marley and the Wailers, "Battle Axe (Small Axe Version)"
Bunny Wailer, "Mellow Dub"
Scientist, "Rasta Dub It Everywhere"
Sly & Robbie, "Middle East Dub"
Black Uhuru, "Who's in the Tomb"
King Tubby, "Alphabet"
King Jammy, "Dark Destroyer Dub"
Linval Thompson, "Lonely Cry"

the last of those is one of my favorite songs in the world right now

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 17:47 (twenty years ago)

desmond dekker's all right.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 17:47 (twenty years ago)

i like first-wave ska but i grew up seeing the pietasters and their ilk playing all the time and just grew to hate the white boy version. eventually some friends and i started a fake ska band called SKAP IT! that was equally awful and not as much fun as we had hoped.

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 17:48 (twenty years ago)

and i LOVE desmond dekker. "personal possession" is pretty much perfect.

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 17:48 (twenty years ago)
