Nitty Gritty Store Hours - Fredrik Borg

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
Sinnamon - Thanks To You - Fierce Reprise
Carol Williams - No One Can Do It (Like You) - Special Re-mix Instrumental

Tee Scott:
Tamiko Jones - Can’t Live Without Your Love - Unreleased Dub
Northend - Tee’s Happy

Mark Kamins:
Affinity: Don’t Go Away - Runaway Dub
Madonna: Everybody - Dub Version 

& more by
John “Jellybean” Benitez
John Morales & Sergio Munzibai
Richie Rivera
Ray "Pinky" Velazquez
Martin Rushent
Bob Blank

ENJOY!
