Ubiquity Records
We're a collection of DJs, surfers, skaters, designers, promoters, musicians, record nerds, film-makers and yo-yo champs. We firmly believe that the listener deserves more. We think that the world doesn't move to the beat of just one drum. To stay true to our listeners and ourselves we've only ever released music that we like.

Since its inception, Ubiquity has grown into a company with several imprints: Luv n' Haight remains the home for re-issue of rare groove gems with over 50 releases, CuBop is the Latin jazz arm with just over 40 releases, and Ubiquity has over 200 releases ranging from hip-hop to funk to cutting edge club music. With a worldwide distribution network, and over 300 releases the label is constantly striving to live up to it's name, originally chosen because the label wanted to make unheard music available everywhere.

New musical releases for 2007 include several new signings and many of our favorite Ubiquity acts return. Greyboy is finishing his new album which includes guests such as Casual and Nino Moschella (He's also recently remixed Cake). PPP and Ohmega Watts are working on their second albums for release in 2007 with long awaited and eager collaborations.

Our family of LA-based acts continues to grow as Sa-Ra Creative Partners and Connie Price and the Keystones come through with albums. New act the Lions (featuring musicians with credits that include Macy Grey, Antibalas, Big Daddy Kane, Breakestra, etc) will be dropping soulful Jamaican-inspired tunes. More info on the Lions soon! CuBop legends Francisco Aguabella and Bobby Matos will also return with new releases.

Luv N'Haight releases will include second volumes of the Gilles Peterson Digs America and California Soul series, plus re-issues from Malone Barnes, Joi and many more.

Ubiquity Presents Clutchy Hopkins

Ubiquity Presents Clutchy Hopkins

In 1992, the Ubiquity crew set off on a search for the best records we could find. On one of our travels we stopped in the Mojave desert at the local swap meet in the town of Victorville, CA. Instantly luck led us to a few record crates jam-packed with classic soul, funk and jazz gems. But this happened to be the least of our discoveries. Next to the crates was a box of reel to reel tapes. Blindly buying the tapes out of curiousty, we brought them back to office only identifying the sounds from the tapes with the name that was etched on the casing: C. Hopkins. We spent a few months trying to track down this mystery man with no luck...up until internet postings, myspace videos and a call out of nowhere took us to closer to the source. Kelli Hopkins, the daughter of one Clutchy Hopkins, called to explain that the tapes contained unreleased material from her father.

We were finally able to reach out to our reclusive mystery man. He is a peaceful mysterious man that has given us some of the best records in our collection. We would like to thank Clutchy for bringing us the music that he has made, and for letting us share it with the people. Ubiquity will release Walking Backwards, an LP worth of new material from Mr. Hopkins. The CD includes bonus DVD with Clutchy Hopkins testimonials and stories from those who've had the oppotunity to cross paths. Walking Backwards is out on Ubiquity online and in all good record stores now.
