In some cases, the original mix was never released to the public, for example Tiesto - Theme From Norefjell. The only mix by Tiesto himself people have heard is the Magikal version. Or it was released, but the remix got much more play, and everyone thought of that as the "original".

Wasn't dub invented by Jamaicans?

Dub means that you strip off all voices in the record and grab a microphone





Well in reggae dub, is a record with stripped off vocals with could end up in countless of different versions with mc's rhyming over the top called dubs or later (remixes).... well i got it right?

yeah 'dubbing' is a technique invented by jamaicans


but the reason I said that is that some people now use the word to mean anything with less vocals (myself included at times), even though it might not be produced in the same way that actual jamaican 'dub' is produced

it's just a stupid technical difference

Well, i thought dubbing was not just about vocals.

I thought it was only about the arrangements. More emphasis on the bass and more stripped-down version of a track.

I might be wrong though.

lol this is what I mean

there are a lot of ways to look at what a 'dub' is now, but in the 60s and 70s, dub meant a very specific thing

what exactly is music anyway

cisum, but backwards.

Wow, I wasn't expecting this topic to last so long .. and anyway, the only reason I was wondering about this was because I tend to take the original mix tag off songs (don't know why, just do).

Oh yeah, and the way I worded the original question made it sound like I've never understood the difference between original and club, it was only when releases contained one or the other when I started to question what they meant. But anyway, I know the answer now, thanks

Ok, go ahead, I'm not stopping you

Originally posted by Guest I see his point though. Some songs dont have an original mix. Just a club mix. I think the 2 terms are interchangeable

Not necessarily, sometimes there is 'original club mix' just because the producer decided to word it that way... or perhaps alternatively produce an alternative mix, whether it be extended, chillout, breakbeat, dnb. etc.

It's an open term and not to be taken too seriously I'd say

its funny how "certain people" on this site seem to think they are the almighty all knowing about everything musically related and anyone who is trying to inquire about things get attacked because these huge brains we have trolling the site can't grasp the concept of social interaction.

get a life some of you

that's always better than bitching about bitching about music

i tend to only tracklist with the remixes written, if it is the original mix i do not include it as it tends to be implied.

From my understanding of seeing various vinyl / cd and digital releases thru the years.

Original Mix - The absolute original 'track' that the artist mixed down (the most common of the lot) Extended Mix - An extension of the original mix, adding some bars / drum loops to make it a bit longer. 12" Mix - Quite possibly, the Original mix, but edited so as to fit the time frame of a vinyl disc (assuming, the original mix is longer than the limit) Instrumental Mix - Absolutely no vocals whatsoever, be it the chorus or any of the verses (There's usually a vocal mix present in this case.) Vocal Mix - All the bells and whistles with complete vocals. Dub Mix - Usually, just the chorus, not any of the verses. Club Mix - As mentioned earlier, dance floor-oriented version of the original,more drum-loops, longer intros, basically dj-friendly. There can be variations of the above, Original Club Mix, Vocal Club Mix , so on and so forth, as the artist chooses.
