2001, Yorkshire, England. SUBDUB is in full strength shaking down Leeds' city
walls with regular parties, community events & sound system sessions. Active
since 1998, the devoted crew push UK Dub music forward, inviting key players of
the scene to play at their events powered by the mighty Iration Steppas sound
system. Session after session, the SUBDUB imprint nurtures a loyal community of
skankers while building close ties top artists in the field. A solid reputation
that resonates amongst dub-heads around the globe. After 3 years of existence
and having already put out 3 singles on their Tandori Space Records label, the
idea of putting out a SUBDUB compilation album sparks. Producers get involved
and the ‘Digital Africa’ project takes shape! But when the test
presses finally arrive, the difficult financial situation and bleak state of the
vinyl market at the time force the project to get shelved…

22 years on, while on a pilgrimage to SUBDUB and stopover at the Tribe Records
HQ, the Dubquake team see the dusty test presses emerge from the record store
vaults and get a taste of the incredible music through the shop's
speakers… Unreleased & exclusive tracks by Iration Steppas, Jah Warrior,
D.BO General, Vibronics, The Disciples, Tena Stelin, Nucleus Roots, The Bush
Chemists & Freedom Masses. 12 undiluted UK Dub cuts from the 90s pressed on to
2x12” vinyl discs, with a 13th bonus digital track. Pure sound system
business, raw dubs inna vanguard style!

‘Digital Africa’ is finally coming out on Dubquake Records in time
to celebrate SUBDUB’s 25th birthday. A forgotten compilation full of
history, curated by Simon Scott & Mark Iration. Guaranteed to bring back sweet
memories to veterans of the dance, a great piece of dub music education for the
rest of us!
