New release - King Size Dub: Hamburg
A multifaceted portrait of Hamburg’s dub scene on Echo Beach’s 30th anniversary
June 20, 2025
For its 30th anniversary, Hamburg-based label Echo Beach turns its focus homeward. With "King Size Dub – Hamburg", the label releases its first-ever compilation dedicated entirely to the local dub scene. Having explored global sounds with sets from the UK, Jamaica, South Africa, New Zealand, New York, and beyond, Echo Beach now highlights the richness of dub that has long been growing in its own backyard.
Back in the 1990s, Hamburg was already home to a vital dub community: pioneers such as Silly Walks, Dub Me Ruff, producer Matthias Arfmann’s projects, and bands like Dub Division and Di Iries laid the groundwork. Over the decades, connections and crossovers emerged between the internationally active label and the city’s scene, all guided by dub’s open spirit that resists narrow definitions.
In 2025, Echo Beach brings these strands together. Teaming up with one of Hamburg’s most renowned record stores, the label releases a vinyl edition featuring exclusive versions, specials, and unreleased material straight from local studios. "King Size Dub – Hamburg" is not just a retrospective but also a powerful statement on the city’s vibrant dub culture today.
