Growing up in the Washington, DC area, Dubfire spent much of his youth playing the guitar in school bands and listening to heavy doses of classic Hip-Hop, jazz/rare groove, dub reggae, new wave and industrial. Dubfire was also influenced by the local punk scene and the music of hometown bands like Fugazi and Minor Threat. Members of these bands also worked at a local record store called Yesterday And Today Records, and this is where Dubfire first picked up on the sounds of acts such as Kraftwerk, Ministry, Jesus & Mary Chain, Depeche Mode, Nitzer Ebb, Adrian Sherwood/On-U Sound and Einsturzende Neubauten. Through this heavy industrial influence, namely the sound of Chicago’s famed Wax Trax! label, Dubfire discovered the Chicago house scene and what labels like Trax and D.J. International Records were releasing.
Dubfire’s eclectic new mix is the product of his diverse past and addictive music personality, and this mix is more about Dubfire personally and as a DJ. Dubfire’s mix was compiled with tracks that he’s both really into at the moment and that have also had a profound influence on shaping his love for music. Dubfire GU31 – Taipei is laced full of gems from a diverse lot including Depeche Mode, Carl Craig, Booka Shade, Extrawelt, Samuel L Session and Nitzer Ebb. However, the biggest surprise of all comes with Dubfire’s original production “I Feel Speed;” a cover of an obscure Love & Rockets song that, for the first time, features his own vocals!
Float Away
Dubfire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where you can watch me undress
I want to lay with you in the water
Naked, floating on sunlight
Lalalalala
Float away with me
Lalalalala
Lalalalala
Lalalalala
And in the waterfall, i explore you
I want to be your temptress
And as the cool cascade washes over
We fall into fire
Lalalalala
Float away with me
With me
Float away with me
Lalalalala
Lalalalala
Float away with me

Want to take you down by the river
I desire to bring you near a stream
Where you can watch me undress
So that you can see me take off my clothes
I want to lay with you in the water
I long to relax with you while submerged
Naked, floating on sunlight
Without clothing and adrift with the sun's rays

Float away with me
Come and travel with me
And in the waterfall, i explore you
While we are showered by the falls, I investigate you
I want to be your temptress
I aspire to be your alluring seductress
And as the cool cascade washes over
As the chilly waterfall courses on us
We fall into fire
We become enraptured with passion
With me
