For fans, which I am first and foremost anyway, that whole dub mindset takes away quite a lot of enjoyment out of the music. To me anyway. By the time you can hear the whole thing without another tune or a DJ over it, the exciement was slowly drained from it.
i thought it was a banger on headphones (when it got pulled out on radio/podcasts), then saw KM one night and they droppped it and it massively underwhelming.
It got worn out a bit near the end of its life as a 'dub' but that was when it had been floating around for a year or so and people had rinsed the cuts to death & was starting to become a bit of a formality of any Yunx/KM set (saw Yunx a few times when he looked bored as shit wheeling it up).
Nearer the beginning when it had just popped up though it was the 140 tune for a bit. head + shoulders above anything else Yunx/KM were playing in terms of crowd reaction alone + provided probably the biggest reaction i've ever seen to a tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcZ1ic9zOMs
Dubkasm - Victory is a good example of how to use a dub well. Only 2 selectors had it, kept it off radio entirely until it was about to drop & didn't draw it out for 4/5 years until everyone was bored of it. Then when it was released it pretty much shut down RWDFWD
same with The Big Bang
