Dubtransmissions is a Digbeth-based record label specialising in New Age Dub.
Dubtransmissions is about people who are not scared to listen to new music. We embrace evolution and creativity. Our artists are interested in drawing from classic influences such as Lee “Scratchâ€, Pink Floyd, Miles Davis, Bob Marley, Abbey Lincoln and Kreftwerk and producing modern fresh music. We are interested in the continuing evolution of dub. That is why you will hear dirty bass lines, unusual samples, and quality composition. Our artists record and perform with emotion and passion. They have no lyrical restriction they write what they feel.
