‘Rage & Serenity’ helped kick off the rebirth of Tuff Love Dubs as a contemporary Jungle imprint more than 6 years ago…. but it remained a Dub in A1-Voodoo & SenseNet sets along with its two counterparts until now. Why now? Because we feel it’s finally time to reveal a little bit of the mystery around who the major players in the production of TUFF tunes have been all along! A1-Voodoo has been compiling and growing a series of releases since 2019 alongside the ultimate chameleon ACID_LAB and a special forces group of producers all previously sworn to secrecy! Much of this giant cache of music was realized through a collaborative process of idea trading, WIPs and iterated communications between the label owner and these producers - a combined hive-mind working toward a very specific sound of what TUFF is meant to be.

This new series of songs now follow on the original ten 10″ Dubplate ONLY releases that re-introduced TUFF to the world from 2018 to 2021 - ushering in Digital releases for the very first time AND the reveal of all the artists involved in the project along the way! The music you’re gaining access to here has been bubbling in the background for years, just waiting for the perfect moment to be revealed!

‘Rage & Serenity’, ‘Things to Remain’ and the very special bonus track ‘Our Own Thing’ (that was likely never going to the light of day until label owner A1-Voodoo insisted upon it’s WIP being molded and formed in *just the right way* by ACID_LAB into what you hear now) are the opening salvo: Tuff Love Dubs’ FIRST RELEASE in a new series of ten releases that will see two singles drop every single month until Feb of 2025, and this, the FIRST ever to feature 3 songs!

While there are numerous collaborators on the TUFF LOVE DUBS project, including A1-Voodoo, Jaybee, SomeJerk, Ben Repertoire & RUNDR, Vector Burn, Polska, Art Cuebik, Antares and many others; ACID_LAB is in all ways the most prolific of the producers to have made this project possible. The sheer number of songs he’s made with us for this project is astonishing… And we simply can’t thank him enough for his willingness to work in secret, collaboratively alongside A1-Voodoo’s vision for these releases upon which the label is built on! <3 RESPECT ACID_LAB!!!

As always we’re taking things back to the roots with a pure nod to the golden era, but giving a nod to the future by making our new 2024+ releases available as Digital Downloads as well!
