ABOUT COMPOUND DUBZ

Based in the East Midlands, UK, Compound Dubz is a vinyl-focused extension of Compound Audio, built for artists, labels and DJs who want their music translated to wax with precision and respect for the culture.

Working across underground and established scenes, Compound Dubz bridges the gap between digital production and physical format, delivering high-quality vinyl cuts that retain the energy, weight and intent of the original record.

BUILT FROM EXPERIENCE

Founded by Dapz, whose career in music spans over 20 years, the platform is grounded in real-world knowledge of DJing, production, mixing and mastering.

Starting out DJing at just 13 and producing by 16, Dapz developed a deep understanding of how music should feel, not just sound on a system. That perspective has carried through every stage of his work, from studio production to final cut.

FROM STUDIO TO WAX

What began as a mixing and mastering service naturally evolved into vinyl.

After years of restoring, remastering and re-cutting classic tracks from the 90s and early 2000s, the demand for direct-to-vinyl services grew, especially from artists and labels wanting full control over their sound.

To take things further, Dapz travelled to Germany to complete professional cutting training before bringing the process in-house with a VR T560 cutting lathe.

THE COMPOUND DUBZ APPROACH

Every cut is treated as its own project, not a preset process.

Careful attention is given to:

• translation from digital to analogue
• low-end control and groove stability
• high-frequency management for clean playback
• maintaining punch, clarity and musical intent

The goal is simple: records that sound right in the club, on the system, and on the turntable.

MORE THAN JUST A SERVICE

Compound Dubz isn’t just about cutting records; it’s about preserving and pushing forward vinyl culture.

From one-off dubplates to full label releases, every project is handled with the same level of care, detail and respect for the music.
