when i bought "moving on" a number of years ago i was actually looking for "do it for you" but i couldn't find in the recordstores of stockholm so i picked up "moving on" instead. eventually i did also pick up "do it for you" but if i would write about that, i'd pick the "bump the tech dub". which is the breakbeat version of the pack and so is this version of "moving on"
"moving on" features the vocal talents of lagerald normand which also has been heard on migs' classic naked music classic "surrended". it is a funky house track with a chunky bassline and this phased keyboard sequence. as with migs more uptempo output there is the element of syncopation with in the drums and the groove.
you noticed this especially if he titles versions of the song as "bump" and being a bit of a fan of migs work i have seen all sorts of variations & combinations of :"dub", "tech", "rub", "bump", "deluxe" and "pusher". the latter one comes from his moniker naked music moniker "petalpusher". "bump" in miguel migs case means a counter element in the percussion right before the snare and kicks, often resulting in a sound that people in the urban music scene call "dem bow". from the rhythmics on shabba ranks' 1991 single, which was produced by bobby "digital" dixon. in modern times it's known for being the key rhytmical element in reggaeton.
the "delightful dub" takes off some of the percussion from the four on the floor groove and the result is that the bassline shines even more. in general it is more lighter but it has a more of a swing and is the kind of track that would work nice in a set because of it. i play it with more breakbeat related elements and especially uk garage but i think it was meant for more housier grooves but it works either way. it's a great piece of bump.
