dublab Celebrates its 25 Years as Pioneers of Internet Radio
Over the past 25 years, dublab has grown from one of the first internet radio stations to the beating heart of Los Angeles’ experimental music community, connecting artists and fans from all genres and medium under the banner of free creative expression. On Saturday, September 28th, dublab celebrated 25 years as one of the first pioneers of internet radio, hosting a special event that brought together artists and fans of all ages for a night of dancing and discovery.
Hosted at Zebulon, in L.A.’s Frogtown, dublab’s 25th Anniversary celebration featured dozens of DJs, live performances, and visual artists, offering a multi-stage event that showcased the station’s homegrown talent. dublab divided the event into three zones: Stage, featuring live bands and DJ performances; Dance floor, hosting selectors who fostered a heady, club-like atmosphere; and Lounge, featuring a chiller atmosphere with downtempo and ambient electronic music. Among the performers were respected artists like Maral, Teebs, and The Koreatown Oddity, and guests from all corners of the L.A. music community filtered in throughout the evening.
dublab’s anniversary festivities continued this past week, as the community-supported radio platform announces a brand new co-branded merch collection created in collaboration with Carhartt WIP. Celebrating dublab’s 25th anniversary, the new collection blends dublab’s early internet aesthetic with Carhartt‘s elevated work wear, equally suitable for indoor and outdoor exploits. The collection includes multiple crewneck and hooded sweatshirt designs, a long- and short-sleeved tee, a canvas tote bag, and a wheeled suitcase, called a “record trolley,” purpose-built for transporting vinyl.
