Well known as the original play: »Do Your Thing« by Isaac Hayes – released 1971. The Chosen Few, reggae band from Jamaica did a soulful reggae groove with a lot of funky elements. The baseline is quite same as the original. The musical productions from Isaac Hayes have been clearly multilayered compositions ever since. So there is a lot of stuff to reinterpret to. And this is the dub version.

From the soulful original »Midnight And You« by Love Unlimited Orchestra from 1974, there is a smooth, nice and easy reggae cover by Willie Lindo. It is called »Midnight«. Because i like the groove of the song, i have decided to dub the whole tune in a extended version of the mix.

I did a dub mix from the song by Sylvia Robinson, which released 1976 and produced by Sylvia Robinson & Michael Burton, called »Sweet Stuff«. I like the mood of the song and the nice and groovy baseline.
