Vinylcarvers remastered and cut more than 120 of my precious dubplates
After 40 years of cutting dubs I can’t believe that their plates are everlasting
legendary Selecta Festus Coxsone, Coxsone Outernational Soundsystem

I have been recommending Vinyl Carvers to everyone I know who may be interested because the sound quality of the vinyl and service is excellent, and at an affordable price.
I will definitely be using Vinyl Carvers to cut my dub again.

I have been using these plates and playing them out regularly for the last 6 months and they still sound great. Really loud cuts and great way to spice up your set with original material. The great thing is that you can get them mastered for not much money which means you will always get a far better result than using something like final scratch.

I've always avoided cutting dubs because they were useless for scratching with, I've had to pay a lot in the past to get my own scratch records manufactured and pressed. But now I can post or email audio to vinyl carvers and its through my front door within days : )

It sounds great. The vinyl is much louder than I anticipated and has that proper warm vinyl feel to it. Thanks again for the quick delivery it is really appreciated

The dubs you guys cut for me are incredible.
The sound quality is amazing and they survived a brutal beating throughout my European tour. They still sound like I just picked them up from there. Loud, clean and crisp.

Thanks to you I would never be able to record on vinyl and actually listen to my own music on a genuine valve amplified 1950's Jukebox, as I am a man of that time when Rock and Roll "was the thing and it will as Danny and the juniors sang would never die" You just cannot beat the sound of vinyl on a valve amplifier. I am heading towards 70 and I still prefer vinyl.

Adam Clish, Warwickshire

Many, many thanks for cutting my track so well. After I uploaded the .wav file I noticed that the auto clip kicks in on the higher levels but you've totally sorted it out. I'm very impressed and will use your service again.
DJ Bez, Durham

I work in customer service and I think your service is really very good for an online company and it makes the difference when ordering from a friendly and personal site.

Northern Ray, Southampton

Hi, many thanks for the vinyl, got it this morning.
THE BEST SERVICE I'VE EVER HAD!!
Nathan, Kitschy Records, UK

I've never had more perfect records. The spacing works perfect, the records aren't heavy, the stylus' don't slide across the records, the grooves aren't burning, fantastic! All the samples lined up as planned. I'm recommending you guys to everyone at the battle.
Andrew Smith, New Jersey, USA

As usual excellent service and quick turnaround. All companies should work this way. Top quality sound. I'll certainly be ordering more.

Just wanted to say thanks for the records! The quality is fantastic, guys. Just can't praise your work enough. Again; many, many thanks! Also - thanks for the bonus record.
Christian Brødsjø, Norway

Hi Tina and Werner I've received my records this morning as you promised. I'm very, very pleased with the quality of the sound etc, I can highly recommend you to my fellow DJ's.
Once Again thank you for being top notch in quality.
Mick Payne, Nottinghamshire

Received the dubplate last friday! ...Already played it for the people - really loved your mastering, specially how you fixed the bassline! You really know what you're doing... Respect!
Roman Anisimov, Sweden

Considering it was from a well played (Rare as hens teeth!!) 45 (Not to mention uploaded/downloaded via the web from the otherside of the world) the job you did cleaning up and mastering was great! It probably plays better than the original 45 now!! Thanks!!!
Phil E, Harrow

I WANT TO CRY! EXCELLENT SERVICE TOP PRODUCT SUPER SWIFT , GREAT COMMUNICATION Ryan N Callanan, UK

I got my tracks from VinylCarvers the other week and I have to say I was impressed along with the dancefloor of people getting down to my own choonage. Great fast service with a quality product. Who needs CDJ's and CDR's when you've got VinylCarvers.
DJ Tayzer, UK

Once again the quality of your product and service has impressed. I will be using these tracks during the summer and already people have commented on the quality. I'll be recommending your work. Thanks again. I'll be in touch.
Dave Moore, Florida

My two discs arrived today, they are superb! They sound cleaner and richer than the original 60s dubplate from which I made the CD!!
Many thanks, I will be using your services in the future!
Trevor Hare, York

got ya plate and I must say I'm impressed. I scratched a section for about 10 mins and it had no wear what so ever.
I'll definitly be back once I've got my battle record hooked up.
DJ Klusta, UK

Vinylcarvers use a transparrent, flexable and durable alternative to Acetate Dubplates.  Don't break if you drop em or chip when you knock em and they don't weigh a tonne either.
One plate cut more than six months ago has been played nightly and still sounds as good as new. 
(Fact: at the time of production, two plates were cut - one kept as spare still hasn't been touched)
DJ Lincoln G, London

I have recieved my personal intro on dubplate today...and it is QUALITY!!
DJ StormaMan, London

Vinylcarvers products allow the dj’s to become producers, and the producers become dj’s. The word here is versatility.
kevin strumental, London

as a dj in a newly signed band I've sent vinylcarvers the backing tracks of our material.
with my custom records I can scratch the tracks my band is playing live on stage - no more expensive testpressings!!
DJ Daunt, Melbourne

Wow! Everlasting dubs for £40 and super speedy service with big cheery grins. You guys know how to make people happy :-)
DJ In-Fluence, Bedford

now I have bootlegs in my record box that are really difficult, if not impossible to get hold of!
muzikfranz, vienna
www.muzikfranz.com

Once again, really happy with it, sounds wicked. I shall no doubt be in touch again as soon as theres another tune needing cut. Cheers again for a top service
Matt Hobday, West Midlands

Vinylcarvers' mastering made my tracks much clearer, very loud cut, best quality one-off vinyl!
Jörg Schuh, Berlin

the tracks were done v well (particually the way the vocals have been brought out on my personalised track!) In short i think il def be pressing some more stuff with you in the near future.
Ben Massey, heavyweightsoundz

The sound quality on the dubs is very good. I can only be full of praise for this company, they were very helpful through out. I would heartily recommend these to anyone and will be using them again..
Kidcut, 24Seven Cru, Bristol

I have to say that i'm impressed with the quality of your service, and hope to use it again in the near future.
Messy, Manchester

just hearing my songs going through the needle was fantastic. Vinylcarvers is definately the place to go for top quality service.
Craig McFadyen, (SHIM*R), Glasgow

the plate from vinylcarvers was the perfect gift for my son when he graduated his music production degree
Sylvia Browne, Chesterfield

One satisfied customer right here. I also like how its pretty much the same weight as regular vinyl, for throwing it in real fast and such.
Mike L, Laguna Beach, California

its fuckin wicked ..... qualitys brilliant, and i even scratched the fuck out of it and its still perfect.
Its more like a vinyl than a dubplate and its deffinetly worth the money.
Wrighty, UK

I happily forked out my £15 and went off delighted with the tune, which was played out on Saturday night. Sound Quality is excellent.
Garrick Wynne, New Zealand

I was very impressed with the results, the sound quality of the dub is exactly what I hoped for.
I have played the tune approximately 30 times with plenty of rewinding and scratching and I’m yet to notice any quality lose.
