For reasons long forgotten, soundcloud.com/tomcosm's bass heavy and squelchtastic remix of Sonic Colonic was never properly released back in the day, an oversight that came to light recently thanks to soundcloud.com/globular's Select Cuts #2 compilation (which you can hear at https://soundcloud.com/dubmissionrecords/sets/select-cuts-2-globular) As it sounds as great now as it did 14 years ago, we'...

Our breakthrough album has finally been pressed on vinyl. Ape to Angel took the momentum of our preceding albums to new levels, with the sound becoming fuller and the bass more driving. We tweaked the sounds of club culture around the dub heart of the album, blending sinuous bass lines, simmering rhythms and echoing acidic synths to electrifying effect. We also wrote our first fully vocal song, “E...

Back in the early nineties, Mike mixed a live show by Christchurch reggae band Ras Bonte. Their last song of the night was a cover of Exodus, and Mike had one of those ephemeral moments where the band and the live desk dub mix locked in sync, and the sound just took off. For years we have talked about trying to re-create that moment, and have finally risen to the challenge. Featuring Sandy Mill on...

A sublime selection of dancefloor beats and downtempo dubs from around the globe, Mixes + Mavericks features seven remixes by Pitch Black, two live tracks that couldn’t be more different in nature or tempo, one seriously unorthodox situation (an unauthorised remix of a remix) and a track in between states, all highlighting the breadth of the duo’s sonic palette. Whereas their previous Rarities + R...

We're stoked to release a brand new remix by the legendary Adrian Sherwood (OnU Sound) of "Transient Transmission", taken from our 2009 album "Rude Mechanicals". The remix came about when Italian dub producer soundcloud.com/gaudi messaged to say he wanted us to be part of the second instalment of his Sub Signals series. He asked if we would be interested in approaching mutual friend Adrian Sherwoo...

Futureproof finally gets a vinyl release, 23 years after it first came out. The album distilled two years of relentless touring of New Zealand into a sweeping colossus full of epic soundscapes and rumbling basslines, pounding rhythms and mind-bending effects, showcasing our dubwise styles to full, bass-bin busting effect. Futureproof’s mix of dub, delay and devastation was received to critical and...
