Ed Rush & Optical - Millennium Dubplate - From the legendary Wormhole EP!

I will be starting a preview of some super rare Music House dubplates from the Layer 3 jungle/dnb collection.

For those that have not witnessed them first hand (they were

unlacquered 10" acetate discs which were cut a the Legendary Dub Cutting

House.) The format originally came from the Jamaican Reggae soundsystem

scene and adopted by the jungle/dnb scene designed as special,

promotional exclusives for the latest artist music. They had a lifespan of 30-60 plays usually. Some however have lasted a lot longer than expected.

Top industry artists and dj's would request a copy when they were cut

live at the Music House sessions, and then used them that day/weekend to

drop at club nights, radio shows, events etc (for promotional and

testing purposes.) 

They were promos of promos in effect and only a handful were ever cut (prior to the single actually being released.) This was an institution for the music before the advent of the internet and still going strong today...
