The Dub Mix strips the frame back and lets the room speak. Same ~123 BPM hypnosis, but with more negative space, a darker tilt, and a steadier emphasis on atmosphere and system feel over front-loaded detail. The groove remains disciplined and DJ-functional—no hard edits, no forced peaks—just gradual pressure and dub-informed depth that rewards long blends and patient programming. This is the version for when you want the floor to sink in and stay there: deeper, less glossy, more air around the elements. The final minute opens cleanly for an elegant exit or bassline swap.
Background:
Trying to evoke some hope when there is little to be hopeful for. Inspired from words from days past looking forward to the future.
The Production. Pretty basic deep house tune with some MLK samples I sourced and chopped in a somewhat melodic / rhythmic manner. I tried to express restraint here by doing less. Hopefully these 2 mixes make you move a little (or make your head bob or hips sway a little). Lemmie know what you think in the comments.
Record, Produced, Arranged and Mixed of course in Ableton.
Mix of TR-8S Drums for basic groove, Some samples (percussion, drums and vocals) and some played keys sequenced. The almost always present TB-303, but this time one of my OG 303's (TB-303 A) and I felt that it was okay that on one of the patterns that one of the notes came out a tad Flat and was too lazy to open up to try to correct the tuning on the device. Thought it added a touch of raw character being flat.
