A lathe cut vinyl often referred to as a “Dubplate” is as the name explains, a record which has been cut on a lathe.
What separates this from regular vinyl that you see in shops is that each record is cut real time, each time.
Normal record pressing plant require you to go through the lengthy process of getting master discs turned into stamper to eventually go on and press your record. Not only this, the minimum orders usually start at 100, barring entry to smaller artists/bands to put out music in smaller, more affordable batches.
This way of creating records allows access for these artists to hear their music in a physical format. From small runs all the way down to one-offs, there is no job too small!
