A reference dubplate is an individually cut phonograph record, traditionally used by artists and labels to preview and evaluate how a master mix translates to physical grooves before committing to mass production. While the format famously served as the testing ground for underground electronic music and sound system culture, it has become an invaluable tool for music across all genres. For small labels and self-releasing artists, lathe cut record offer a practical way to release short editions without the steep costs and long turnaround times of factory pressings. Unlike traditional dubplates—which use a fragile, short-lived layer of nitrocellulose lacquer over an aluminum core—we cut directly onto solid, blank PVC records. Each disc is physically engraved in real-time on a custom-built cutting lathe. The result is a durable, heavy-duty record made from recycled plastic and organic pigments that offers the longevity and performance of standard pressed vinyl.
