Dubplate service full#
When I found Scully for sale, and it’s a very rare occasion, I thought – OK this is my chance to start the full master production. It is called 100 copies and it’s still there. After some years, I transported that lathe to Cairo, Egypt, and established a Cairo Dubplate Service and studio. As you perhaps know, cutting a 12 inch master disc requires a 14 inch lacquer or master plate and we could not do that on the Kingston Dub Cutter. And it was limited to only 12 inch discs. It was running on a regular Technics turntable. It’s because the cutter was a very small one, not the same size as Scully. Back then, I was cutting a lot on plastic, PVC lathe cuts and some master cuts for 7 inches only. And then it just started out, learning to cut and all that. It was running for like 7 years or something. At that time it was slightly broken and we got some money to fix it. We bought Andreas’ small instant lathe cutter. So we got to do that with a bit of funding to start it up. I suggested that we should make a community dub-plate studio. I had a good connection with the house and I still do. And at some point, I was coming to the culture house on Blågårds Plads to play music quite often. So when I went to the real cutting studio and saw that ritual of manifesting the sound, I became very interested in it. By the way, I also went to other different studios to cut masters or dub-plates with my own tunes. He was cutting acetates on a Kingston Dub Cutter. He had an instant dub cutter and he was the only one cutting dub-plates at that time.
There worked a guy, his name was Andreas. At that time there was a studio in Copenhagen called Precious Vinyl. And I had a big dream just to make my own record, so I started going to studios. I started producing my own tracks when I was 16 years old or something. I also started using records in my music production – sampling or mixing and doing turntablism a lot. So I started digging in them and I became very interested in manipulating time with records and mixing records, and started producing music from a very young age. When I was born, there were still a lot of records left. So he went around selling those records and other items. He got 1000 records for 1000 kroner or something. Because basically, when my father moved to Denmark from India, he bought around 1000 vinyl records from a record store that closed down on Nørrebrogade before I was born. Actually, I think I was like 5 years old when I started kind of scratching and stuff. I started to be interested in vinyl records from a very young age. So, Hari, what about these vinyl records? How long have you been interested in the medium, how did you come to vinyl records and cutting and all that?
