I remember this track had some kind of speech intro in one of the versions... dedicated to "New York metro DJs"

One of my favorite tracks, and hard to mix into!

OOFT! - MAREH NYE Festival in Fortim, CE (Jan 2nd _ 2023)

Join us as we celebrate the adventurous side of 80’s dance music & the emergence of the B-side dub mix! 🧡​🧡🧡

​​Like all club music innovations, the DANCE DUB was born from the interplay between dancers & DJ’s. Adventurous dancers responded to stripped-down, rhythm-heavy compositions – so adventurous DJ’s started doing remixes that stripped away vocals from dance songs of the day, pushed rhythm front & center and added heavy echo & reverb for a trippy, mystic dance vibe.
​​
​​Aural inspiration came from Jamaica, obviously (sometimes via London, as with TW Funkmasters’ massively influential Love Money, produced by British reggae personality Tony Williams. The extraordinarily dubby “Champagne Mix ” is included here).

The dub mixes typically appeared on the B-side of the main mix – for the first time providing the DJ totally different takes on a single song. Their rhythm-heavy minimalism and freedom from traditional song structures went on to influence all of dance music down the line (the blueprints for house & techno were just a few years away).

This mix is a selection of personal faves from this fascinating era. 

You’ll hear dub versions by legendary DJ’s/remixers such as

Francois Kevorkian:
Forrrce - Keep On Dubbin’ - With No Commercial Interruptions
Michael Wilson - Groove It To Your Body - Instrumental
Pushé: Don’t Take Your Love Away - Dub Version
Rafael Cameron - Boogie's Gonna Get Ya - Instrumental
Jeanette “Lady” Day - Come Let Me Love You - Special Instrumental Version

Larry Levan:
Johnny Dynell - Rhythm Of Love - Garage Dub
NYC Peech Boys - On A Journey - Dub Mix
Jeffrey Osborne - Plane Love - Dub Version

Shep Pettibone:
Strangers - Step Out Of My Dream - Dream Version

Carol Williams - No One Can Do It (Like You) - Special Re-mix Instrumental

Tee Scott:

Beraber returns to United Identities with Gentle Actions, setting the tone for long summer evenings and sun-soaked days. The Amsterdam based producer and DJ organically blends Chicago’s classically-schooled keys and machine backdrops with subtle, atmospheric textures.

This long-awaited record by Beraber (Barış Akardere) is a deeply personal collection of music, encapsulating a period of creative and personal growth. Rather than a concept record, it serves as a document of the past years, bundling some of most cherished productions into a cohesive and heartfelt gift to the audience. This EP marks the first time the producer has used his own vocals in his productions, next to vocal contributions from Barcelona-based artist Ivy Barkakati, whose lyrics perfectly resonate with the journey of the EP.
