Communicate Dub

  Communicate Dub by Worker Ant

I'll just tell the whole story of this track. One day I was riding the bus and listening to my mp3 player. I heard three different tracks in consecutive order: Nigga Please by ODB, The Light by Common and Luva Changer by Living Legends.

All three of these tracks had some rhymes about one thing...communication. ODB rhyming about how well he communicated, Common and Living Legends rhyming about the importance of communication.

I was really feeling those rhymes. Only by chance, I heard the three songs in consecutive order.

Then I started thinking about intertwining all three tracks into one dub track. After listening again, I noticed that all three had some breaks I could sample and the BPMs were similar. So I decided to make my first synthesis dub.

"Synthesis dub" is the only term I could come up with. Most dub tracks are versions of ONE single track. Communicate Dub is a version of several tracks. My definition of "synthesis dub" is when one or more original tracks are versioned into one dub track. Communication is the lyrical subject that ties these tracks together, serving as the focal point of synthesis or mutation.

I've finished two more synthesis dub tracks, currently working on a fourth and will continue to produce more of these tracks in the future.
