12" vinyl single - 2mm, black

The DJ Classic

Favoured for decades by club DJs and independent record labels, the 12” single is the classic format for dance music of every kind, from Disco to DnB and everything in between. Unlike LPs that spin at 33rpm, these discs are cut at 45rpm and typically only have one or two tracks per side, giving maximum allowance for loudness and dynamics.

Best for: LOUD, DYNAMIC, DJ / PERFORMANCE USE

A Cut Above

Not all dub plates are born equal, and it takes a great deal of skill to get a good sound on vinyl. Dub Studio was one of the first places in the UK to operate a lathe-cut vinyl service, and mastering engineer Henry Bainbridge has more experience cutting these 12 inches than anyone else. He learnt the hard way, working for some of the biggest names in the Bristol DnB scene from the word go, which is why he never lets a dub leave the studio unless it sounds its best.

Analog Reinvented

The latest development in analog recording technology, vinyl dub plates offer all of the benefits of analog audio, but with none of the set up cost of pressed vinyl. Sometimes called lathe-cut records, vinyl dub plates don’t need to go through the lengthy process of lacquer cutting and plating. Instead, they are cut to order as one-offs, or in limited quantities known as short runs.
