L.A.B return with a brand new remix album L.A.B In Dub. The 10-track album (to be released October 21) features an array of dubbed-out L.A.B remixes by Italian producer and remixer Paolo Baldini DubFiles.

With the tracks hand-picked from L.A.B’s catalogue, L.A.B In Dub see’s Baldini bring a new light with his dubbed-out versions.

This collection of tracks has been lovingly crafted by Baldini at his Alambic Conspiracy Studio in San Foca, Italy. Each dub has been created live in the studio, with Baldini working live on the stems of each track. These new versions are all created in one take with no overdubs or edits, creating entirely new versions.

While L.A.B camp out in the studio working on a new album, L.A.B In Dub comes after L.A.B were named winners of Best Record at the first-ever Rolling Stone New Zealand Awards.

2022 has already seen L.A.B perform capacity shows in both New Zealand and Australia, with their April Australian tour seeing them perform to total crowds of over 40,000. The coming Summer will see them heading to NZ’s regions for the first time in a number of years, performing their only headline shows in NZ in Tauranga, Hastings & Whangārei.

Following on from multiple number one singles and albums, alongside a growing list of platinum sales and awards across New Zealand and Australia, this is the band's first ever full length remix album in collaboration with Loop and German-based Dub-focused label Echo Beach, further cementing L.A.B as one of NZ’s hardest working acts. This is a project which has been in the works for a number of years, and has continued to expand as L.A.B’s catalogue has grown.

With an extensive catalogue both performing in reggae and dub outfits and composing his own originals, Paolo Baldini has been a key figure in the Italian reggae dub scene for over 20 years. Through his collaborations with artists and time with bands such as Italian reggae-royalty Africa Unite, he has immersed himself in the dub sound and culture. Under his DubFiles moniker, he has released many collaborations, solo albums & even a film score.

A lovingly crafted release inspired and driven by the dub sound that serves as a constant inspiration, L.A.B In Dub is a special album made not only for dub lovers, but also one which will look to bring new fans to the way of the dub.
