Justin Robertson's recent dub excursions, both his remixes and his own productions, have been first rate. He's kept that winning streak going with a pair of dubbed out versions of Fluke's I Wanna Be under his Five Green Moons name (the Five Green Moons album Moon 1 was one of my favorites of 2024).
I Wanna Be (Five Green Moons Dub) is a world of deep bass, crashing drums, rattling rimshots and FX, unfolding over eight glorious dubbed out minutes- groove, space and echo. You can get the remix and the dub- there isn't much between them- at Bandcamp.
Fluke's re- emergence last year was a welcome return. The original version of I Wanna Be came out a week before the Five Green Moon ones and is very much in familiar Fluke territory- throbbing, pulsing, widescreen progressive techno with Jon Fugler's vocals up front, 'I wanna be/ The very best me I can be'.
Great to have Fluke back, and in such good form, too! Justin Robertson has never been away but the Five Green Moons music is top notch.
ReplyDeleteHard to believe that it’s 32 years since they last hooked up, for Fluke’s single Slid.
My favourites mixes of I Wanna Be are the original version with Jon’s vocals and the JR dub but really, they’re all ace.
