Dubleplus is a place where you can get free good music. All the files found on this site is 100% highgrade downloadable. There are no corruptions, we are not messing with you, nor will the files explode in 30 days. We are giving them to you to keep. In fact you can burn your own CDs of the music you find here. You can print out the art files in full colour and you can sell them to your friends. We don't care. But you better do something cool with some of the money you make or you are part of the problem.
To Down load files you do not even need to give us your email address, but we stongly recommend you do. But if you do give us your email address you will become a member of the dubleplus community. We will not turn around and give your info to McDonalds in a threeway trade with microsoft where we end up with a lifetime supply of Big Macs. We infact will not give it to anyone except ourselves. You will be put on our mailing list. Just give the word and we will take you off the list. But being on the list makes you smarter.....the list will tell you about what's new at dubleplus. Some MP3s will only be available for download for a very short time period, say 24 hours. The list will notify you about things like this as well as other suprise shows and it may even contain the coordinates for where and when everyone is meeting up for the revolution. You wouldn't want to miss that now would you?
We are giving away awesome albums songs and videos for free. In the stores these same records cost anywhere from $12 to $25 dollars. Online you can expect to pay $1 for one of these songs. All the styles of music you will find here are quite different. One thing that every artist involved with dubleplus has in common is that they are not especially motivated entirely by financial gain. For each release on this site, the artist has chosen a charitable organization that they would like the proceeds of their album to go towards. There is a brief decription of the cause and why the artist has chosen it as well as a link to a site where you are encouraged to make a donation. We are not forcing you to make a donation....but c'mon you are getting an entire album for free. All we are asking is that you donaet any amount be it 1$ or a thousand dollars to the suggested organization. All the causes are doing good work and have been researched and hand selected by the artist. Neither dubleplus nor the artist gets any of the money that you donate. We get what you get, the knowledge that music is helping to contribute to a more responsible society. If you can't afford to donate money, learn more about the organization and volunteer some time. If you are downloading music, then you most likely have a computer. Most of these organization have a whole bunch of things that they need done that you can sitting at home on your computer drinking a tall glass of cool-aid. Get involved. Oh Yeah.
Dubleplus began over 40,000 years ago on a lush tropical riverbank. The day before the release party for the innaugural EP by a band called UGHHHGHHARRGH, a volcano erupted and destroyed our offices along with the entire civilization. By 2003 AD the offices had been rebuilt in an apartment on the corner of Mount Royal and St. Denis in Montreal. This apartment was also the embyronic stages of what has now evolved into the historic Montreal audio recording facility known as Studio Le Beatbox. At this time the studio was merely a secondhand fourtrack, a bunch a shitty mics, and a short walk to the depanneur for a twelve pack of export. Friends would come record night and day. Dubleplus soon released 5 CDs and a compilation containing rare and unreleased demos from artists such as Treephort, Stza Crack, Fingers Cut Megamachine, The GLow, The Flatliners, Jamie Gilmartin, Murder Culture, Road Bones, and of course The delegates, jesus and the headliners, and Shit. This collection of CDs was known as the five dollar music series because .....yup you got it, each CD cost only five dollars. Each record in the collection was a limited edition hand numbered rarity. Soon....dubleplus offices moved out the St-Denis apartment to peddle it wares around the continent and make room for the ever expanding studio beatbox. Dubleplus was now headquarted in the back seat of a blue 1990 Chevy beauville named Jean-Claude Damn Van. Over the next two years the label travelled over 200,000 KM and sold CD everywhere from Talahassee to tijuana. Reno to Rimouski. new glasgow to new orleans. Soon the 5 dollar music series, like many record labels of the time, was on the edge of extinction. dubleplus relocated its office to a dingy basement in Montreal, put up a website, invited a few from the last few years to join em and threw on-line party to celebrate the awesome power of Do It Yourself.
