4 track EP of dubplate mix style dub cuts to tunes by Junior Moore, Pam Hall and Hopeton Lindo.
'Atlantis Dub' is the original 1979 mix, the other three tracks are new (2025) mixes in a raw mix dubplate style a la the Music Works dubplate mixes of the late '70s/early '80s.

A little something out of the ordinary for DKR here, a four track dub 12" featuring one old and three new mixes, the latter done in excellent faithful fashion to the sound and Music Works dubplate style of their time. Junior Moore's "Atlantis" is one of our favorite Gussie tunes, very underrated and under the radar. We love the dub mix from the original 1979 12" release, so it's included here. For the other three tracks, these are new mixes done from the original multi track tapes, in faithful style to the way they would have come on dubplate for sound sytems, right out of Gussie's original Music Works studio on Slipe Road. If you like the spare, raw drum and bass style of the Taxi label material we've released, or the early '80s sound of Channel 1, these mixes will be right up your alley. These two early Hopeton Lindo roots tracks should be familiar to hardcore roots heads. The Pam Hall is another sleeper cut, a dark lovers take on the Stylistics' soul classic, which gets harder and moodier when stripped back like this - indeed some raw rhythm cuts of this one were played by sounds like Jah Shaka.
