Dublab is a non-profit internet radio station based in Los Angeles. As well as broadcasting music they have also been involved in art exhibitions, film projects, live events and record releases. The broadcast is eclectic ranging from electronic and noise to ambient, post-rock and folk. An example of their film work is Secondhand Sureshots where they gave producers five dollars to buy albums from second hand shops and sample the music to create new tracks. Their soundsystem an DJ collective has been featured at diverse venues such as The Getty Centre and Hollywood Bowl. Notable guests include Flying Lotus, Four Tet and Animal Collective.
Below is one of their more avant-garde film / art projects – mi casa es su casa, “an international home field-recording quilt.” It is a collage of sounds from personal spaces around the world. People have sent 30 second recordings of the most interesting sounds in their homes which were then stitched together to offer an audio insight into their intimate environments.
The finished piece was presented at the Sound in Space field recording festival in Los Angeles on Saturday, February 14th 2009 and is also available on dublab.com as a free audio download.
Some choice cuts from the We Love… office jukebox. Some tunes to smooth that daily grind. Eclectic and esoteric bits from Mark, Andy and Ruairi. Enjoy.
