Info:
"Reworked Imagination" is an ongoing project in which different artists pay tribute to some of their favourite songs of music history in the form of reworking the original song ideas in a modern, dubby fashion. In other words: It's a remix series. 8 episodes of this series form 1 season. At the end of a season might or might not come an album compiling all the episodes into one release.
In the first episode of the first season, the musicians around the Dubness crew take on Madness' "One Step Beyond" from their same-titled debut album back in 1979, but give it a fast-paced heavy stepping Dub riddim instead of the original skanking ska riddim.
The song comes in three versions, short, crispy and on point. Enjoy this madness, I mean, dubness.

Whimsical Music is a netlabel for quirky electronic music without boundaries, with a slight emphasis on leftfield dubby styles. No constraints, just free music for free people. We like to remix other people's work we love, and show them our appreciation through our works. Our releases are usually structured in series, like on TV. 8 episodes of a season make an album. Remixes, one-takes, songs with all kinds of samples come together for an open-minded, free-spirited experience. Whimsical Music is non-profit. It's just for fun and to give our respect to other people. Our songs are often tributes and fan service for things we like. Some Whimsical Music releases are not official releases and are not available on any streaming platform or physical media, only homemade videos on YouTube, Bandcamp (for free) and our own website. Please let us know if you feel like there is something here that shouldn't be, e.g. a sample or a video clip.
