Dubfound
Tugla EP

Listening notes

Dubfound's Tugla EP, released in 2015 on Nurum Music, occupies the catalog position NRM03, marking the label's third release. Pressed on vinyl, the record brings together four tracks operating within the intersecting territories of electronic music, minimal techno, and techno — a combination that defined a particular strain of underground club-focused output during that period.

The A-side opens with the title track, "Tugla," followed by "D.O.L." Together they form the original material Dubfound contributes to the record. The B-side shifts the dynamic somewhat. "D.O.L." reappears in a reworked form credited to Sascha Dive, titled "D.O.L. (Sascha Dive's Strip It Down Remix)," before the EP closes with "Bulb." The inclusion of Sascha Dive, a figure with a well-documented presence in minimal techno circles, adds a second interpretive voice to the release without displacing the EP's identity as primarily Dubfound's work.

At four tracks, the Tugla EP follows a format familiar to vinyl releases in this genre ecosystem — compact enough to fit comfortably on a single twelve-inch while giving each side a sense of internal progression. The pairing of an original and its remix on the B-side is a structural choice that allows direct comparison between Dubfound's source material and Dive's interpretation.

Nurum Music, cataloging this as NRM03, was still in early development as a label at the time of this release. What the catalog number confirms is that the Tugla EP arrived as part of the label's foundational output rather than as a later addition to an established roster.

Track durations are not confirmed for this draft and should be verified before publication. Any additional detail regarding personnel, mastering, or pressing specifications would require independent sourcing.
