Hi r/dub,

A few weeks ago I shared DubStemMix, the free, open-source macOS app I built to cut dub versions live from stems on an Akai MIDImix. Thanks again for all the feedback, it shaped a lot of what came next.

Tonight I put it to the real test: a full 1-hour live set on Twitch, everything played on the MIDImix. Stems on faders, vocals thrown into the tape echo, drops to bass and drums, pull-ups. Here's the replay:

A small dev story from the day: two hours before going live, the MIDImix started lagging as soon as OBS was running. Turned out the app's interface was redrawing itself all the time and the MIDI messages were stuck waiting behind it. Fixed it, shipped 0.13.1, and the set ran smooth. If you tried the app and felt the console was a bit sluggish, update.

As always, I'd love feedback from people who actually mix dub: what sounds right, what sounds off, what would you have done differently in the set?

Playing around with both my new Numark Mixtrack Pro FX and the new Dubplates dot net virtual mixer. Hope you like this dub.

Preamp plugin now finished allows for live modulation with “valve” growl , fully adjustable sirens feedbacks ,delays, reverbs ,echos , it has a crossover and 10 band eq , any questions feel free to ask, I find it useful to use this at home prior to dances to practice with preamp functions or to modulate productions before release.

Hey, i've been looking for this song for a while pls help me find it !

Le Guess Who festival in Utrecht, Netherlands (5th -8th November) is doing a separate venue event called 24 Hour Dub with a great line-up. I bought a ticket for the entire event (they also sell separate night/day tickets) back when they went on sale, but have yet to find someone who wants to go.

Anyone on here going?

Built a focused, 20-track playlist around echoey dub textures and deep bass (Boozoo Bajou, FROID DUB, Tosca, K&D). Sequenced for a smooth, continuous flow.

Hi everyone,

Hope you're all well.

I am trying to find a copy of Keety Roots "Wisdom & Overstanding", particularly the dubplate/bassline version from that Channel One video (you know the one!). Any leads or ideas? Was it even ever released digitally?

I'm pulling a blank so far, almost decided to just make my own version instead, but I'd love my own copy of the original...

I'm listening to Roots Radics - Invaders from Linval presents Dub Landing Vol. 1 right now and was wondering what the original version of this Song is and where I could find it. Do you know of a database like whosampled for dub versions?

This release closes the current run of much‑needed raids on the Digi Dub archives. Label boss Lee Berwick emerged from the DIY ferment of Camberwell's squat era , blending reggae and rave influences into a stream of boundary‑pushing music and events under a tangle of ever‑shifting aliases. Nodding to the Far East stylings of Augustus Pablo, South‑Eastern Style finds Berwick, working under his Mudskipper alias, refracting Pablo’s melodic meditations through a mutoid bass filter, delivering six cuts of idiosyncratic, genre- agnostic electronics.

Some of Berwick’s Mudskipper material was partially exhumed for digital release in 2021, but the alias was only one of several he deployed during Digi Dub’s most fertile years and during the 90s Mudskipper material was released sparingly. It feels fitting, then, that this project finally gets its due in the form of a full vinyl release.

Beware Dub is the only track here to have seen daylight before, with a version originally appearing on the 1996 four‑track EP 4 Golems. It makes a fine opener: an agile bassline rolling through tunnels of processed skank, rocking in a haze of centrifugal breakbeat. Ambrosial Dub mounts an imperious, guitar‑laced groove onto a solid steppers march, while Pillars Dub drives another vigorous, sub‑heavy bassline forward in the mix alongside a mechanised rhythm track, shards of noirish piano and bursts of twinkling synth.

The second side opens with the cosmic skank of Stand It Dub, followed by the mutated one‑drop drift of Where There’s Dub, suspended in a canopy of gentle keys. Wasted Dub closes the EP in fine style, Berwick applying widescreen dubwise pressure: a robust low end topped with the distinctive twin twangs of jaw harp and slide guitar, coming on like Jah Shaka meeting Ry Cooder.
