Dubbel Dutch celebrates his forthcoming 12″ for NYC imprint Dutty Artz by releasing this cracking remix of Dexplicit’s ‘Bullacake’. The record, out tomorrow on limited white label, not only features 2 original tracks from the Austin producer, but also remixes of Ciara, Deborah Cox and R Kelly. Get it before it sells like a hot bullacake.
Mixpak FM 007 is brought to you by grime and bassline producer extraordinaire, Dexplicit. In his prolific last few years he has produced grime anthem ‘POW’, huge instrumentals like ‘Judas’, ‘Bulla Cake’ & of course ‘Forward’ (which not only smashed grime apart with ‘POW’, and apparently got voiced by Jay Z but was also banned from some clubs for being too hype (fact)). He also produced a hot remix of our track with Natalie Storm & Sticky.
Here is 50 minutes of grime & bassline nastiness, including some of his newest productions and big dubplates. POW!

Dexplicit is a London-based producer and DJ known for his mastery of heavy bass, and his tuff as nails remix for Sticky’s Jumeirah Riddim EP only confirms his rep. Check out his recent interview with Vibezine to see where he’s at and what he has in store for 2010.
Sticky’s “Jumeirah Riddim EP” vinyl is now up for sale at the Mixpak Store.
Mixpak is proud to announce the “Jumeirah Riddim EP,” a brand new release from Sticky which is out today on iTunes, Beatport, Turntable Lab and Juno. The EP showcases Sticky’s undeniable “Jumeirah Riddim” which represents his recent embrace of UK Funky and has been an underground hit in the UK for some months. Once we signed the track, we called up rising Jamaican star Natalie Storm for a voicing and she delivered a catchy bashment/funky monster, “Look Pon Me” (stay tuned for the video dropping early next week). JA vocals in hand we went back to the UK and got bassline mastermind Dexplicit to rework the track into an uptempo, heavy bass epic. Finally, Sticky rounded it out, revisiting the original and flipping it for the “Jumeirah Riddim Sequel.”
If you’re not familiar with Sticky, he built his reputation as one of the United Kingdom’s leading club music producers at the height of the UK Garage scene. His productions not only kept the clubs on lock, but they also launched the careers of a number of the UK talents including the Mercury Award winning Ms. Dynamite. Sticky has re-emerged on the scene in 2009 and the “Jumeirah Riddim” is his biggest statement yet.
The EP features original cover art by renowned artist Devin Flynn, creator of animated show “Ya’ll So Stupid” (check for it on adultswim.com) and bassist for DFA band Pixeltan.
Be looking for the vinyl to hit stores next week.
Check this great article about Natalie Storm and Dylan Powe on the “Letter From Jamica” blog. Natalie recently voiced a big song, “Look Pon Me,” that features her incredible catchy flow on a Funky riddim straight outta the UK. This will be included on a brand new EP dropping on Mixpak next month. Is the riddim produced by UK Garage bigwig Sticky? Yes. Did Dexplicit kill it on the remix? Indeed. Stay tuned as we do this one record at a time…
