Wize Dubs - is a collection of tracks of the 'Dubwize' album with remixes by Motionfield, Octex, Max Cavalerra, Echonomist, Daniel Blomqvist, Subsonic Park, Das Kraftfuttermischwerk, P. Laoss, Veer and Marko Fürstenberg.

This remix album reflects on the story of Dubwize from different angles, as for each tune the original songs are deconstructed and thus mixed differently. Overall a the collection spans a wide range of moody remixes, from abstract excursions over functional floorkeepers and detached sentiences.

The opening mixes by Octex and Daniel Blomqvist are quite experimental perspectives upon 'Dubster' and 'Motorace' (Dub Mix), both dissolving and rearranging the elements of the original tracks by using shifting beats in a rather submerged dubstep corset. Following this comes the 'Nova Bluez' Mix by Das Kraftfuttermischwerk, remixing "Nova Bluez" in a loungey environment, managing to provide aural satisfaction.

A string of functional mixes is opened by the mix of P. Laoss, rendering 'Seasonal Dub' into a deep, yet uplifting house version which ascends between the poles of sunken dub house and textural landscapes. Max Cavalerra, on the other hand, offers a more minimal technoid approach on 'Funkstern', which centers around a deep stab which gradually evolves into a tunnel.

With the remixes by The Echonomist and Subsonic Park the compilation goes deeper. The Echonomist goes back in time and builds his mix of 'Love Dub' on a "groovy house chord" sequence from previous days, while Subsonic Park offers a journey to a distant location somewhere between deep techhouse and dubtech.

Having arrived there Veer picks the listener up with his tracky, sequenced twirl of 'Seasonal Dub', which leaves enough headroom to unfold the "funky blowers" of the original. Afterwards Marko Fürstenberg launches a most gorgeous rocket to spaced out dubspheres with strong "detroit reminiscences", where there is indeed 'Time For Everything' as indicated by Gabriel's original song. Finally, Motionfield lets us exhale with a natural ambient version of the beatless version of 'Dubster'.
