When it comes to sound system culture, there is no doubt that dubplates are a huge part of reggae, dancehall, and even some electronic music scenes. But one question that is often asked is whether artists can remake their hit songs as dubplates.
· A personal touch for DJs
· The dubplate version
· Exclusive but expensive
A personal touch for DJs
Whenever artists make a Foundation Dubplate of their hits, it's usually to put a personal touch on the track for a certain DJ or a particular sound system. Dubplates are exclusive tracks that can feature anything from reworked lyrics to shouted-out names of DJs or sound systems. Imagine having a personal version of a hit song that nobody else possesses.
The dubplate version
Having the artist re-record their hit song as a dubplate by Dialtone Production may be more than just name-dropping; at times, the vibe of the track is completely altered by incorporating different rhythms, fiddling with the bassline, or even slowing down or speeding up the tempo to suit the style of the DJ. This remix-like version of the original hit can take it to a whole new level.
Exclusive but expensive
Custom dubplates are usually the exclusive domain of whoever ordered them, and the price reflects that. Artists for dubplate will charge big money to rework one of their chart-toppers for a DJ. But to the DJ, he will invest in a dubplate of a more well-known song, especially one reworked by the original artist. It is all about differentiation on the competitive sound system circuit.
