YES! Such an important record. Here's something Ive copied from elsewhere about the history of the tune: At the age of 16/17 in Bedford, UK, Dread linked up with his brother Fred and started to lay down bassline tracks with a simple Boss drum machine, playing percussion and bongos on top, with a borrowed Yamaha DX7 to compliment the hard core dub. In 1988 they got four dubplates of their unique material pressed and took them to Jah Shaka. Shaka played the dub plates for around a month and then called up and told them to come to his next sound system session down in Cheggars Hall / London. He always played his best or most exclusive song last - this night he played 'Warrior Dub' - now known as 'WARRIOR STANCE' and it took the roof off the building... Shaka that night requested that the dub plate should be released on his own label. “Warrior Stance” sold well and was tremendously influential on the new wave of UK dub, as Dougie Wardrop (Centry, Bush Chemists, Conscious Sounds and tens of other aliases) recalled in an interview with Guidelight Movement: "Basically I got started on a small 4-track, cassette machine which I had in my friends house, [...] we started from nothing really. Just going to (Jah) Shaka, Manasseh. Listening to tunes and hearing tunes like Dread and Fred. Tunes like "Warriors Stance". Until then there were no real steppers, digital steppers really. "Warrior Stance" to me was the one that stood out and made me wanna say whoa! That was the tune. I'd like to make music like that, you know. " Russ D (The Disciples) also cited its impact : "Originally we only used a drum machine the rest was all live playing, the thing that changed it all was seeing Shaka working in a studio in Brixton, it had a small programming room with about 6/7 Yamaha DX7's linked up to a sequencer and a couple of small Seck mixers, he was working with this guy he called Andy Mozart, and the rhythms that they were building sounded crisp and different more machine like. Also at the time Dread and Fred came on the scene with 'Warrior Stance' and I will always cite that record as an influence... I went home and started programming my drum machine (HR16) differently from then, away from sounding live and more into the machine mode."
@@MikusMusik Thanks for sharing this. It's very hard to find much information about the early UK Dub. It was a pretty radical transition from the stuff of the early eighties to digital steppers dub. I wonder if acid house and electronic dance music of that time was an influence too. Late eighties and early nineties was a revolutionary time for electronic music generally.
@@hanshandkante5055 Not sure if it was an influence as such but there was shared technology and overlap on a day to day.... Interestingly Mark from Iration Steppas started off making techno tunes in 1990 - though they always had a heavy bass flavour www.discogs.com/artist/3138-Ital-Rockers There were other reggae minded people making house and techno in that era, like this man for example www.discogs.com/artist/3136-No-Smoke
