The Philosophy of Dub Flash (aka skeptic Darwinism)
"Dub Flash Records" (DFR) was founded in Spring 2003. It is an expression of the founders' feelings for dub music, the best music in the whole universe.
DFR is an adventureous trip into the world of dub music. The intention is not to make big money. Instead it is a true tribute to dub music. A music which gets far too less attention. Nethertheless, we want to cover our expenses as much as possible, of course. (01'2008: This hasn't worked out yet though.)
We have very limited possibilities but we try to work and act as professional as possible. We don't have much budget (actually none) and we don't have a proper organisation in the background. Our focus is on dub music. And we want to present it as good as can be nonetheless.
DFR stands for underground dub. The less the chance of making a big success hit, the bigger the chance that DFR releases it. And the heavier the stepper riddim, the higher the release chance: Heavy stepper label! Heartcore dub label! Dubwise, no compromise!
DFR doesn't offer high paid record deals. We also have an allergy against written contracts. We only do handshake-friendshop deals and all we offer is the possibility of a release: Artists get the chance of an official release, spreading their music to a wider range of people. Thanks to the good connections, DFR is able to care for some distribution and marketing. But don't expect a big marketing campaign. We are not able to handle that. Oh, but you get some free copies as a "payment". Wow... ;)
OK, now you know what DFR is all about. It is your decision if this is something for you or if you are looking for a bigger label. There are enough good and professional ones. But there is only one label which exists only for one reason: DUB!
Support the DUB scene! DUB is a life-saver, it is the creation and it is the mighty force which is all around us. You ever wondered what George Lucas was talking about in Star Wars? It was DUB! Of course, it was. And when the last DUB ends, mankind is dead.
And finally: Don't be disappointed if we say "no" to you. We get offers for releases all the time. And except very few exceptions, we would like to release all. But it's simply not possible. It's a question of money and time. And money. Especially money. 'cos we have none, seriously. :/ Thank you for your understanding!
