funk,jazz, etc. mixes

The first mixtape released on Best Effort is by Naarm (Melbourne) based DJ/ writer, Sophie McAlister. A Sooky La La at heart, this mix is comprised of Sophie’s most sentimental songs which seem to exude the palpable feeling of Saudade, a Portuguese word that can be described as ‘a pleasure you suffer, an ailment you enjoy.’ The tracks weave through 110 minutes of unrequited love and melancholic sounds that range from MPB, Psych, Folk, Middle Eastern Jazz and Soul, evoking a deep sense of nostalgia and longing.

Crafted with heartbreak from reel to reel, these feelings on tap(e) hope to offer tender respite to the listener’s jaunt down memory lane. With a nod to the past and anticipation for what’s to come, this tape invites you to welcome new spirits from the unwelcomed lull of recent despondency. Sometimes revelling in our most forsaken experiences can spark new life into what used to consume us with grief.

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

Good news! Pacific Spirit episodes may be getting fewer and further in-between, but the vibes are as high as ever. Episode 94 comes courtesy of LA’s Jamma-Dee, an old friend who’s been in the mix for ages and played parties for us as far back as 2015.

The mix he’s prepared for us is described as a “summer-forward bounce and groove from the underground crates, 70 min of all wax from the chamber of Jamm”. 

It’s the perfect pairing to these dog days of summer. Enjoy the vibes!
