New one. Full release out Friday, as is the custom these days…

Spooky has long been one of the hardest working soundmen in East London. At any given time you can see him streaming sets on Insta, blasting out tunes, and being the OG cat he always has been, with a

Hello all!

LoDubs is back at it once again. As is the labels' nature, once the hype slows down we'll be there to keep the underground alive with new releases!

We are getting close to what will be about a year shy of the 20th anniversary of LoDubs, the premier USA Grime/Dubstep/Garage label founded in 2005. It's crazy to think. The label that brought Clubroot, DZ, Egoless, Mensah, and countless others out on vinyl for their first releases, but still lurking in the shadows nearly 2 decades later.

Between now and October we will have three new 12" EP's. Each will be available digital, but will also come as a limited 12" pressing. This 12" pressing will come with a special download code that will allow vinyl owners access to a version of the EP containing 2 bonus tracks!
..On top of that, these bonus tracks will come with instructions on how to get a limited to 30-50 poly cut of those tracks! In some cases this poly will come with additional surprises, like a VIP only available in that form.

To start things off, we have an EP of Deep UKG from Silent Cubes. Stream link is below the label art/release details to follow:

ARTIST: Silent Cubes
TITLE: Sound In Motion EP

RELEASE: Immediate (Fulfilling orders beginning of August 2024)

CAT # LODUBS-1224029

FORMAT: Limited 4 Track 12" EP W/Digital bonus+Poly Dub cut or 4 track digital DL/Stream

Notes:

A veteran producer (Who prefers to separate this incarnation
from past works) working within many disciplines in sound, Silent
Cubes demonstrates a particular skill in atmospherics and mood
in their productions, creating three tracks of original UGK driven
sound that speak in a dialect as familiar to the progeny and
brethren of Clubroot, Sorrow, and Congi as that of Chez Damier,
Mr Fingers, and Ron Trent. An exercise in deepness, Draped in
the framework and immediacy of Garage.

Showing how evocatively these elements can be transformed is
MOY, himself straddling a line between classic IDM, Old Skool,
and Acid, and with releases on Analogical Force, Vinyl Fanatiks
(AmenTec) and a slew of others. MOY comes forward with a
hybridized remix of “The Stream”, which really is in a class of its
own and closes out side B.

“Sound And Motion”. Presented as a 4 track vinyl EP, in a
numbered/limited edition, and bundled with access to 2 exclusive
Poly Cut/Digital tracks, only ever available via the access
provided through ownership of this record.

I was in a state of delirium last week thanks to getting poisoned by a tree (Not g***a, one in my yard) and too much work when I grabbed a random pile of 45’s off the top of my stack and an assortment of 12” and 10” from around my home turntables and some nearby shelves, representing something akin to an archeologist going through the top soil of a site. Brought it all over to my cousin’s place , who has a setup that is a bit less chaotic than mine, and set about recording a 90 minute assortment of these bits. from 70’s up to just released this month. All in all it came out pretty...listenable. I’d recommend tuning in at 7PM PST if you want to hear what I’m rambling on about (www.lowergrandradio.com). Big up . Some of the artists within: , ,Leba Hibbert (Toots’ Daughter) , .tamlins , , , , , , , , , Mixman , , , , , , , w/ , & , & . Very glad all these people are out there pushing the culture forward and insiping such a wild ride.

Soooon

Super stoked to finally have received the masters for my upcoming vinyl debut EP on LoDubs Records.

So, as many of you might know, our primary Distributor in the uk went out of business around the middle of the year, which left both LoDubs and Anthem Records in a complicated spot. On the label front it led to the release catalog being marooned in a warehouse in the same lands where Richard III was until recently lost to time.

Not content with sharing such a fate, LoDubs will be going on a mission next week to recover these unattainable releases and get them to the people. Some of this will be shop visits, as through the aforementioned mailorder much of how we shift imported releases in the states is the the same way, going shop to shop. Such is the way of underground music.

To lead that off, we are now working with the great White Peach Records, who are offering the recent Clubroot “surface Tension” 4 EP series and EP’s by aXh, boneless, Bukkha, and Deage Sound (with a Kromestar RMX), all at a great price.

We have loads of new stuff lined up, including new EP’s from Spooky Dizzle, Silent Cubes (with a Moy RMX), OCA2, Teffa, and many more. Making that happen requires digging out of this whole that was completely beyond our control, so your support is much appreciated. If you know anyone who might be keen on these releases, please spread the word, and feel free to hit us with screen shots of your White peach purchases and we’ll send you DL codes.

This one is a long time coming. Justin (Dial-M) first appeared on my radar likely about two decades ago when Manny Ersone Magneto mentioned he had met this local Australian born high school kid who was producing Jungle, which at the time was profoundly maligned genre, even amongst those into DnB. In the prevailing years he went on to produce some highly prized tunes on most of the labels bravely carrying the torch at that time (Big Cat, chopstick, etc). Along the way he became my roommate, and then a year or two later moved back to the Aus.

…now here we are, He lives in Bristol and has continued rolling em out, with some great ones on Tommy the Cat’s “Cat In The Bag” label, and numerous monster cuts working their way through the pressing plant as we speak. LoDubs gets to jump to the front of the line thanks to one-off poly cuts, with this one being limited to a one time cut of 50.

Posting some of em up now, primary for UK/EU. More will go up later when I do the Anthem list.

The pictures show part of the drawn out process of stamping, numbering, and hole punching the components for the cut. Normally I would put a video of the cutter doing his thing but he’s cutting em next week as he’s waiting for a new lathe stylus. Happy to hear this one will be cut of a fresh and sharp new diamond tip.

Ridiculous pair of Choons from .oe mandem, available in an equally ridiculous limited fashion tomorrow (lodubs.com) via , with less than a dozen available for fulfillment via the USA or UK drop points. This was made on a Polycarbonate Lathe, hand cut , but as you can see if sounds every bit as furious as a regular pressing. Hand numbered and stamped as well, with Digis only via the plate purchase (until maybe down the road should we we compile the series on 12”).

Last but definitely not least in the Midwest series: Vinyl and Bass, First Fridays : August 5, Madison.

As stated before, I was invited to do the hypemix for the show. This is about 2/3rds of the recording using an audio/video capture that froze up at that point. A little look into coaxing vinyl records together. I hope you enjoy.

Very happy to share this mix I did for next week’s show in Madison, out on by the twin titans of the WI modwest scene, Drop Bass Network and Jiggy Jamz Geoff Kaster out of Madison. A bit of a ride through the developments in Jungle and DnB du jour, with a touch of doom as a final act.

Give it a listen, and if you’re nearby in a weeks time I would say it’s a show not to be missed, even though I’m a bit biased:)

JON AD hails from the west coast Portland, Oregon where he’s been running Anthem Records since 2004, both as a record store and a record label specializing in limited-edition metal, noise and drone releases, while the shop also focuses on dnb, dubstep and bass/breaks music. Jon also founded LoDubs...

This Sunday on the tWo-tWO Tooour or unrelenting, endless highway miles (which now may include LA and SF after Madison, MKE and Chicago, where I’ve just arrived) is one I’ve been looking forward to for a while: the one and only , which takes place through the summer here in the aforementioned Chicago. Great friends and chilling parkside, along with a deep crate or two. Chicago is always the place I want to run tracks by people in a live context that possess that sprit that embodies the soul of house music but are from different movements, continents, etc. after all, this is the city that made many a tune a classic from far afield artists. I have a full arsenal of just such tunes. If you’re in town, and the weather is workable (looks like it so far) I’ll see you there!
