Coming to us via the ears of the excellent Mr Richard Norris, record producer, multi-­instrumentalist and DJ, Martin Dubka is a man of many competing musical hats. With a back catalogue scattered with different genres and unexpected projects, it’s hard for us to get our heads around the idea that the producer has finally decided to settle on a singular moniker, DUBKA.

Striving for a unique approach to instrument-driven electronica, DUBKA enlisted his parents to help design a portable version of his studio, which he now transports around the globe in a tailor­made suitcase. This then is a live recording of one of these instrument driven sets of Martin's. Get it in your ears.

Some of it here: 

For those that have been living under a rock, can you give us a few details about yourself? 

Who are you? 

Martin Dubka.

Where are you from? 

London via Cumbria.

When did you first decide that you wanted to produce your own music? What spurred this on?

When I started out playing bass, my first amp was a hi-fi, so I've pretty much been recording music as long as I've been playing it.  I guess the real turning point was my mate putting a cracked copy of Acid on my dad's PC.  No, actually it was recording in Paris with Cazals.  Now I think about it, it's probably just always been a very natural part of making music for me.  They're pretty much the same thing in my mind.

You were previously in Cazals, signed to Kitsune, played on Daft Punk’s Alive 97 tour and now release records Vito Delcua’s label. Would we be right in assuming there’s a strong Gaelic/French connection?  

Yeah, I guess there is but it's not a conscious thing.  I do really love being in France though.  And I like a lot of French music and food.  Maybe that comes across in my music somehow.
