Techno mainstay Dubfire has a brand new album up his sleeve this year, and to prepare his fans for the retrospective record known as HYBRID: A Decade Of Dubfire (2006-2016), the American DJ/Producer has revealed one of the rare productions that are regular in his sets and also see light of the day. Titled as ‘Dust Devil’, the eight minute techno journey consists of smooth grooves and easy beats laid out in minimal fashion, yet it provides for the significant energy needed on dance floors. Ali said about his track:
This was one of the many tracks which ended up getting scrapped for one reason or another. Sometimes when you listen to something ad nauseam in the studio you’re either going to get completely obsessed with it OR you’ll never want to hear it again. This fell into the latter category and it wasn’t until I was putting the live show together back in the summer of 2014 that I rediscovered it, and to my surprise the track sounded totally fresh again. Once I road tested it for a few months and saw the floor reactions I knew that the track was solid. Nothing ground breaking but a good example of the funky, chunky, driving sort of sound I’m known for and something which has now become a major highlight of the HYBRID live show.
Dubfire’s ‘Dust Devil’ releases via his label SCI+TEC on June 15th on Beatport. Until then, you can stream the single below:
