crazybaldhead Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 2010 marks 15 years since Dubmission Records was spawned, in a smoke filled shack on Anjuna beach, Goa. Originally an offshoot of Aquatec Records, we have hardly been prolific over the years, but have strived to keep the bassline quality as high as possible. To celebrate making it this far (and there were many times when that didn't seem likely) we are plotting a host of releases and parties throughout the year. We have also asked some of our favourite DJs to create mixes of Dubmission released material, and will be releasing one mix a month for free download. This month's mix is a Pitch Black smorgasboard created by DJ Ti from New Zealand - download from soundcloud . It heralds the release on Monday 25th of the Pitch Black remix EP's Harmonia Pt.I & II. These can be previewed at Last.FM or bought from all good download stores and Bandcamp . We are also hosting a room this Saturday 23rd at The 7th Heaven Project party in London, with live shows by International Observer and Kokerboom, plus DJ sets from Crazy Baldhead, Ed Snug and more. Info on that from Facebook More info and links will be posted up on the Dubmission website soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazybaldhead Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 next week sees the first in a series of re-releases that we have scheduled for this year: bluey's "oceans unknown". originally released back in 2000 on golden bay records, it was hailed as one of the best new zealand produced ambient records of the decade. a journey into all things deep, downbeat and dubby, the album opens with the epic, rhythm and sound-esque title track, which has been a crowd favourite every time bluey played live. while just one more and 8m swell are bouncy breaks numbers, and all the time in the world and sticky pond fuse dub and trance, tracks such as skip'n'swing show a more funky side. as bluey puts it himself, "the sound cannot be accurately defined by any well known genre. the tracks contain the inherent originality which comes from using modern technology in such an isolated and stunning place as golden bay". ocean unknown is a record to dream and drift to, a lavishly-textured, warm and weightless technological transmission from the heart of the echo chamber. it’s re-release was long overdue, having been out of print since 2002, and never before available digitally. you can download a remix of the title track for free from bandcamp and get another track in exchange for your email address from bandcamp here. you can preview the whole album at last.fm. gig wise, a few of us are playing in a room at acid monkeys in london on april 3rd: live set from third ear audio, plus dj sets from doof and myself.
