Every year, the third Monday of January is dubbed ‘Blue Monday’. The theory goes that this is the time of year when we’re all cold, broke and riddled with guilt that our New Year’s resolutions to get fit, drink less alcohol, and be a better human being have fallen by the wayside.
This year, to mark the infamous day (18/01/21), we’ve released ‘Blue Monday’, a cover of the New Order classic, recorded with our good friends Dubmatix, with all proceeds going to Tonic Music for Mental Health.
The single is released digitally alongside a Dub mix by Grammy nominated Reggae producer Gaudi, as well as on limited edition 7”, with the Dubmatix version on side A and a special ‘Stepper’ mix, also supplied by Gaudi, on the B-side.

Story
We are Back
Sometimes you have to go through the mill to realise why you were put on this Earth. So it is with the Dub Pistols, the reggae-breaks-jungle mashup, the gangster-swaggering festival stalwarts whose rollercoaster story reads like a rock’n’roll cautionary tale on a grand scale. When big beat ruled the clubs the Pistols were snapped up for $1.5m by legendary Interscope magnate Jimmy Iovine and anointed Geffen Records’ priority act for America. But Geffen put their album out the week that 9/11 happened, so the Dub Pistols ended up broke and label-less instead of US superstars. This is how it happens. They get knocked down — but they get back up.
