Onda Sonora on On-Point.be - Disco Dub Mix
The ever wicked On-Point.be people have put a dope mix online. One we made. Haha. A mix exploring the zone between 2 seemingly unrelated genres. Reggae and Disco that is. But in the early eighties and certainly in the melting pot New York City was back then, these two styles of music were very influential to each other. People like Larry Levan and François K incorporating Dub techniques into their remixes and Sly & Robby working with Gwen Guthrie and Grace Jones. For example. We tried to dig up some gems of that era, added some other obscurities and music that has fused the vibes of Kingston, London and New York City.
The mixing may be a tad sloppy every now and then but if Disco isn’t all that steady tempo wise with the live drumming and all then the added Jamaican flavours won’t help for sure. But it’s the vibe that counts. Hope you like the mix. Props to Alex and JC for giving us the theme and platform. Always quality work.
It’s real fun to listen to your disco-dub-mix.
Good stuff!+
