Dublab Proton Drive Fundraiser // Teebs Tuneage

Our good friends over at dublab have just started their bi-annual supporter drive, and as always there’s a load of dope events and tunes accompanying. It’s been dubbed the “Turning on Tomorrow” Proton Drive and one of our favourite beat flippers and longtime labrat Teebs has been charged with creating the theme song for the event, which you can stream on their site or download here.

dublab been a massive influence on pretty much everyone we know, and as pioneers of spreading experimental music have been responsible for pulling up a lot of the beatsmiths and experimental artists / djs who are now sitting on top of the scene as people try to emulate them. The best part about it is despite how large they’ve grown they’re yet to compromise anything about what makes them dublab.

Officially a non-profit public broadcaster, the LA based station has spread it’s wings to include a label, exhibitions, live shows, soundsystems and even documentaries – my personal favourite of which has to be Secondhand Sureshots hands down. Ras G, Daedalus, Carlos Nino, Kutmah and Gaslamp Killer are among those that count themselves part of this incredible collective and who’s archvied bits and pieces you can get at from the links on their names.

So anyway I’d recommend giving them a bit of cash, as these supporter drives keep them running, and if you’re reading this then chances are you’re tastes are someway indebted to them. For those (like me) that like free stuff, they give you some wicked downloads and such depending how much you give them. All details below.

Big ups dublab fam – thanks for being there, long may you do it.
