My pleasure friend! I actually just got done with another remix of an Arkeyetexture track that I'm more happy with - it sounds more "n0mad23-esque" if you know what I mean. Sure am enjoying taking a stab at these Dub Guild remixes! Thanks for the listen and review!

I thought it had more to do with bass than a kick - but right you are. The original was posted as "Jungle Dub" and upon reflection, this is more "jungle" than "dub" so I'm relabeling it. Thanks!

The Dub Guild is an anarcho-collective group of 12 artists originally brought together by jahknow who was an artist here, who unfortunately passed away in 2011. I've added the link to arkeyetexture's original track here, and those who follow the link will see the track is posted as a Dub Guild collab request. I've stripped three tracks from the original for my remix, and interpreted it with n0mad23 eardrums. There's a version of arkeyetexture up on Soundcloud that uses lyrics as well, so the idea you've presented is indeed a good one. I personally haven't done a lot of remixing of others' work, so this was really rather experimental for me. Cheers.

I'll have to share the story of the Dub Guild resurrection sometime - pure cosmic convergence episode. Simmerdown even popped up out of the woodwork feeling the pull one afternoon - so weird, that. We're trying to do what jahknow originally planned, which is a collective of like minded artists sharing resources and making available each other's work for remixing purposes. Some really awesome remixes have come out of this in the last few weeks. I'm still using Live 8 with my APC-40 and Axiom-25 keyboard, and can't imagine really working with any other DAW at this stage. My radio show tends to be Dub themed on most weeks, but I'm also doing "peregrinations" where I spend 2 hours just playing music from Africa or inspired by African musical traditions, as well as Asian peregrinations. I've played your "Lost Caravan" on one such peregrination show all ready (fit great for my stop in North Africa)! I'm on Tuesdays at 2PM EST should you find yourself able to swing by sometime. So glad to see you're still around and making awesome music, Wayne. Still look forward to sitting down with you sometime over dungeness crab and comparing life notes!
