![]() Essentially there can be no stereo in the bass, and the phase differences/stereo in the mids and tops have to be carefully controlled. It’s very different preparing a piece of music to be cut to vinyl rather than copied to a digital medium, and entire books have been written on this topic. One is for preparing the file to be cut, the other is actually cutting the prepared file onto the dubplate. The set-up is, in its simplest form, split into two parts. I did a pop-up in the backroom at Holdrons (a space they reserve for exhibitions and temporary stores) as part of the Peckham Rye Music Festival, and the response was overwhelmingly positive.Ĭould you talk us through your set up and equipment, and what it takes to cut a dub? When I was thinking of moving out of home to a proper location I knew it had to be right, and one place we thought about was Holdrons Arcade. You’re situated in a pretty exciting location. More information can be found on our website and Facebook. We will be taking orders online as usual so always welcome to email or phone for a chat. Our opening times are Monday to Saturday, 10am till 8pm. People can walk in with files on memory stick (must be PC compatible) or a download link, or book an appointment to reserve a specific time slot. We’re located in Holdrons Arcade, Unit 21, 135a Rye Lane, Peckham, SE15 4ST. I still offer the same online service, where people can email and send music to be cut on to a dubplate, but there was also a quiet voice in the back of the mind that felt it would be great to one day move things out of the home, and into a place where people can walk in and have their record cut while they wait in more of a shop environment. Could you talk us through what you offer in terms of the service? Now you’ve just opened up your first walk in Dubplate service. So last time we featured you, you were running an underground dub-cutting operation out of your bedroom and serving the likes of Bradley Zero, Medlar, Chaos in the CBD, Andy Blake and Henry Wu. We caught up with Dominic to find out more about the whole operation. ![]() From Bradley Zero’s Rhythm Section to Henry Wu and Andy Blake, some of the vinyl you’ve found yourself grooving to on any given night out in London may well lead back to this guy.Īlmost a year on and Dominic Jones’ uncouth DIY bedroom foundry has become an institution in its own right within Peckham’s flourishing music scene, and earlier this month he made an executive decision to step out of the shadows and onto Rye Lane high street to offer Peckham’s first ever walk-in dubplate cutting service. At the beginning of this year we caught wind of a mysterious man cutting dubplates out of his bedroom for some of south London’s finest DJs and producers.
