Dubkey Records is on the lookout for artists interested in having their music released through the label.
In line with its non-commercial ethos, the Maltese internet label, which focuses mainly on roots reggae and dub, distributes its releases online as free downloads, incorporating high-quality MP3 and cover artwork.
All works are released under a Creative Commons licence. In order to avoid copyright issues, Dubkey only features original compositions and rejects slack or violent lyrics. No payments are involved between artists and label as the intention is only to share the good vibes with as many people as possible.
To date the label has put out 12 releases, among them four dub compilations put together by label owner Manwel T and works by Maltese act Mind’s Eye Dub, Doobiesound (Sweden), Crucial Alphonso (Belgium) and British artist Ashley, whose latest album Dub from Creation will be available on the Dubkey website as from March 20.
