Welcome to 'Instrumental Dubs #3', the ongoing series that delves into the world of the dub Version and beyond. Side one explores the axis of UK street soul and reggae with the opening two tracks produced by Howard Hill and originally released on his Passion Enterprises label in the late eighties. Both 'Versions' have a machine lead rhythm section paired with a reggae skank and snippets of soulful vox. The proto house of Protek's 'I Love To Dance With You' featured on a Jura Soundsystem DJ Mix for Planet Trip, a one off single from the now sadly deceased Errol Parkes that's been re-edited with love by The Nightlark from Edinburgh.
The B side features The Cool Notes 'Natural Energy', which isn't strictly speaking a dub Version, but it has that vibe with a primarily instrumental backing track featuring sparse vocals and spacey FX. The album closes with a secret weapon of Ilija Rudman 'Dub 4 Love' that pays homage to a famous track from acid house's heyday.
Pressed on 180g heavyweight vinyl with full sleeve jacket design by Bradley Pinkerton.
