A selection of dubs from the producer’s early-’80s period feature on the upcoming Heaven 12″ on the Optimo Disco Plate Series.
Here’s a poser for you. Who would you get to remix Golden Teacher? The Glasgow six-piece are notoriously difficult to pin down musically; their wild, often spaced-out singles incorporate post-punk disco, strobe-lit techno, weird ambient, off-kilter electronica, dub and tribal African rhythms. You get the impression that they’re not the sort of act that would not respond well to the idea of straight-up club revisions, or even quirky versions from producers whose reputation stems from servicing the needs of lazy, uninspired DJs.
The “Dubmaster” has reworked two tracks by the Glasgow collective for a forthcoming Optimo Music release – preview here.
