This fee could be astronomical depending on who the artist, the track and popularity at the time.

In the Dancehall scene when someone voiced a special for you, that also had a cost between you and the artist on top of the cutting fee. In the US the handful of people that cut plates back then cut at Don One(NYC), Atomic Ivan(Miami) and Aardvark(Denver).Īll this died as IM track trading and CDJs sorta took hold.ĮDIT: The other thing to know about dubs was that it was a serious investment to cut tracks low side you were looking at $20-30 to cut one side, and $40-60 for both sides, that is just to cut the track. Going to Music House when I would travel to London was one of the greatest things I experienced in djing, would sit for hours upon hours waiting for that one track to walk in or be allowed to cut something, meeting basically everyone who was anyone in the scene at that time. The most common place to cut tracks in DnB/Jungle was Music House in London, you could walk in there and if you were down with certain producers/djs you could cut unreleased tracks from DAT to play months and sometimes years before release. It was very common to also just cut tracks that were produced that may or may not be released on vinyl to plate to promote/test the tune.

This was commonly cut on a dubplate to play and was not ever to be pressed. mix/edit that was solely exclusive to you for the most part. Special/VIP was a variant mix maybe with your name or diff. Though the original terms that were from Dancehall/Sound culture then adopted by Jungle/DnB/UK Hardcore djs was this.Dubplate refers to the actual physical acetate lacquer that is cut on a lathe.
