DMZ

I was at all DMZ Leeds (SUBDUB) events from 2005 onwards. I also went to a number of the DMZ London nights. They never sold dubplates or white labels (trust me I would have known). All their distribution was through record stores like Soul Jazz and Tribe in Leeds. All white label versions of the DMZ cat (with few exceptions like "Eyez VIP), are bootleg.

NOTE TO BUYERS: Beware of 'promo' or 'bootleg' white labels. They aren't legitimate. I was around for the release of all these tunes and there was never any official white label releases (within the label DMZ catalog), and I doubt these people are selling original Transition Studio acetate dubs. So they must be cut by the owner and therefore not worth the amounts they are asking. You have been warned!

It took me a while to understand this because I am fucking retarded, but after almost two decades of stalking these guys around the internet like the deep meditation junkie that I am, and I have finally reached a realization that the scarcity of the records is itself a message: don't get attached to the *material*.

There's two crowds to every alternative scene: people full of logos on their shirts and people who wear plain clothes with no discernible branding on them

Which crowd gathers to your events says a lot about what ideas you're transmitting as a musician.

Don't wear your DMZ shirt and don't wear those surviving records out--not fo wearin, bruv.

Keep that shit for a future museum.

Malas remastered and releasing each Friday an old track of his from this series. Get onto his Bandcamp

Loefah has just uploaded the digitals of all of his DMZ classics on his bandcamp

Good Dubstep label, with a bunch of outstanding tracks, but some of them are extremely overpriced. There should be no risk to reissue some of that stuff!

Anyone got Digitals available from when Bleep/beatport had em? Trying to get some of these tunes without losing my house.

I understand them not wanting to repress. But why no high quality digital releases of the back catalogue?

try and convince DMZ to give me some rights and I'll press the shit outta the catalogue - all out of my own pocket of course!

Can whoever bootlegged DMZ007 just go ahead and bootleg the rest of the DMZ back cat already?

I'm not paying £50+ for a battered piece of wax.
