Etymology Īccording to David Toop, the ' dub' in dubplate is an allusion to the dubplate's use in 'dubbing' or 'doubling' the original version of a track. New music would regularly be composed and recorded onto DAT tape in order for it to be cut onto dubplate, often so that it could be played that weekend (or even that night).ĭespite the shift to DJing on digital mediums such as CDJs and DJ controllers, dubplates continue to be used for playing exclusive music and have also gained a specialist market in recent years. This would be followed through its descendants UK garage, grime and dubstep, and cutting houses such as Transition. Whilst acetates have been used in the music industry for many years, especially in dance music, dubplates would become a particularly important part of the jungle/ drum and bass scene throughout the 1990s. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Music House in North London and JTS Studio in East London would become the two most prominent 'cutting houses'. John Hassell and his wife ran a recording studio from their suburban house in Barnes, South West London, but would become key to British sound systems and artists such as Dennis Bovell. In the UK, the earliest place to cut reggae dubplates would also be one of the most unlikely. As such, these would become known as 'dubplate specials' often remarking on the prowess of the sound system playing it, in a bid to win the clash. Special and one-off versions would be cut to acetate for competing in a sound clash, utilising vocals specially recorded to namecheck the sound system. I could tolerate the spotting but on many of the copies it's turned gray.The first use of dubplates is commonly attributed to sound engineer King Tubby and reggae sound systems such as Lloyd Coxsone and Killamanjaro. The other problem is the spray adhesive they are using is pretty inconsistent and there is spotting.

I may beable to make these look better but I shouldn't have to right? If had I known I would not have gotten them cut and they'd be square.

So the two problems are when they cut the discs to make them round the paper inbetween the two layers is getting chewed up and particles from this are getting trapped between the sheets. If had known that this level of sloppy workmanship was involved I would not have ordered them.

The bigger problem is that I opted for the round pictures discs and they screwed up more than half of them and they are trying to write it off as just being the way it is because they are hand made. The cuts themselves I guess are okay although the amount of surface noise seems to vary greatly between the cuts. PISS.EXE wrote:Duplication.ca ?
