David Bowie polymath, Briton, chameleon, duke, enigma ... the list could go on until Z for Ziggy. David Bowie morphed from folkie to space popper, from West Berlin myth to chic regular at Studio 54, from pop star to actor to art connoisseur. But although the Thin White Duke repeatedly drank from the cup of black music history, no proper Bowie dub mix (in the Jamaican sense) survives - and certainly not a complete album-length dub set. Producer Lee Groves and the longest-serving German dub label Echo Beach, specialists for cases like this, were unanimous: something needed to be done! Thanks to a worldwide network of musicians and studio whizzes, versions of legendary songs including by The Police, Grace Jones, Martha & The Muffins, Ton Steine Scherben and most recently Robert Palmer have been created here. "Dubby Stardust" is another milestone in Echo Beach"s dub cycle catalogue and a long overdue tribute to the pop chameleon who died in 2016 - a compilation that draws on the collective memory of three generations of fans.
