No seriously if you are based in Melbourne you might want to check out Corduroy Records, Australia's only vinyl record manufacturer. Not sure about dubplates but they do 7" or 12" pressings, quick turnover, they can do single pressings.

3 copies of a double sided everlast (not acetate) posted from uk in covers in one week for $270. 50 pounds for the first then 30 after that, cheaper without mastering, heres the link http://vinylcarvers.co.uk/product.html
they mainly cut dnb and jungle and apparently they master decently

i got my dubs today.
levels are good, clarity is good, had a quick mix before and they hold up against my other records, sounded better than a couple of N20 releases, pity im a fucking nonce who mixed one of the trcks with too much bass and the drums sound a bit floaty ... maybe ill just say its an old school tune :)

Each to his own, but I believe M-Audio Torq is gonna leave Final Scratch et. al. for dead. I had the pleasure of demo'ing the unit for a solid 3 days up at AMAC, and it blew my mind. If it's given a chance it's gonna revolutionise DJ'ing.
