Go Back...Apple Pips From UK

Dubstep label started in 2008 by Laurie Osborne a.k.a. Appleblim. It is a sublabel of Skull Disco.

Skull Disco is an independent UK record label, based in London, and established in 2005 by Sam Shackleton and Laurie 'Appleblim' Osborne. Skull Disco releases so far have been in the dubstep genre.

In 2004, prior to the founding of the label, Ian Hicks of Mordant Music liked and released an early Shackleton track entitled Stalker. The track later appeared on Rough Trade Records 'Best of 2004' compilation. Around this time Shackleton was becoming more familiar with the dubstep sound, through regular visits to the Forward>> nights run by Ammunition Promotions. He especially identified with the sound later associated with the DMZ nightclub, citing Loefah's Horror Show and Digital Mystikz Conference as key early influences, and started thinking about forming a label to release similar "interesting bass music" and "interesting percussive stuff".

On a visit to a similarly-minded night in Bath, Shackleton encountered Laurie 'Appleblim' Osborne. Shackleton was impressed with a track, Mystikal Warrior, and it hence appeared on the first Skull Disco release; a double A-side, with Shackleton's I Am Animal on the flipside. Shortly after, Shackleton began the (now defunct) Skull Disco nights in London. Attendees at the first Skull Disco night included Coki and Mala of Digital Mystikz.

In November 2007, Appleblim established a sublabel, Applepips.

In 2008, Appleblim was chosen to mix the sixth installment of the Dubstep Allstars series on Tempa, which was released on June 3rd, 2008.
