Formed in 2006 with the aim to release mixtapes from artists and dub selectors based in Portland, the label has since grown to reflect an international family of musicians and DJs, with mixes full of tracks based around electronic dub and reggae music. Their artist roster includes DJs and artists such as Alter Echo, Shockman, Samizdat, Gulls, Hieronymus and Xoki and the label head Monkeytek.
Monkeytek launched the sublabel PDXINDUBTING! in 2014 to release cassette LPs of original material from artists from the pdxindub family. Furthermore, label boss Monkeytek also works closely with other labels like ZamZam Sounds and Khaliphonic, sourcing fresh and unheard material for special vinyl only releases. Besides his label work he is also a DJ and host, throwing sound system parties around his hometown of Portland.
For Carhartt WIP Radio Monkeytek has put together a show full of released and unreleased, deep absorbing bass tunes.
