Long and strange disco dubs

[boyd]

Can anyone suggest any tunes similar to "adventures in success" Will Powers - dubby disco style?

[Forrrce]

Two of the best examples which spring to mind are the 'original' disco-dub track, 'For The Love Of Money' by Disco Dub Band from '76, or Willie Daniels' 'I've Been Searching' which was an epic Walter Gibbons workout from the '80s.

Forrrce's 'Keep On Dubbin' (With No Commercial Interruptions)' on West End is the ultimate, fierce disco-dub mash-up, bar none.

The Will Powers is a bit unusual in that it's cod-reggae, therefore it may sound a little more authentic as a dub mix, but there are hundreds of such workouts on disco influenced 12"s. I would suggest looking out for mixers along the lines of Francois Kevorkian, Shep Pettibone, Walter Gibbons, Steven Stanley, the Lord Alge brothers and more when I think of them....

Weird you should mention Forrrce Forrrce, I've literally just been listening to that very track on an old radio mix of mine from 82!

King of the club dub for me is the mighty Peech Boys with 'Don't Make Me Wait' (also West End), which came out a couple of months before Forrrce. Larry Levan, of course, being the discodubmeister in those days.
