On the London leg of his European tour, new Mixpak signee Dubbel Dutch stopped by Just Jam to drop a special live mix, complete with JJ’s usual entertaining VT. His set runs through his own productions (from his latest release on UTTU, ‘B Leave’, to his upcoming Mixpak release), his remix of ‘Wotless’ and even some Tony Matterhorn.
You can also download the DJ Q & TS7 remix of ‘B. Leave’ featured in his set over at Mista Jam’s website.
Dubbel Dutch’s first EP for Mixpak, Hymn, will drop on November 15th and snippets are now up for preview on our Soundcloud. Leave a comment let us know what you think!
‘Half On A Baby’, the second single from the Vybz Kartel Kingston Story album is out today on Mixpak, complete with 5 exclusive remixes from Mosca, Funkystepz, Dubbel Dutch, Schlachthofbronx and Bert on Beats.
On its own, “Half On A Baby” is a proper Caribbean dancehall/pop anthem, but when combined with remixes from some of the most exciting names in underground bass music it becomes something more. Recent Mixpak signee Dubbel Dutch takes “Half On A Baby” deep into the underground without losing sight of the melodicism that makes the original so enticing. Another member of the Mixpak fam, Schlachthofbronx, flips the track on it’s head, turning it into a tempo-shifting Power Soca heavy hitter.
Bert On Beats and Funkystepz hand in contemporary bass takes on “Half On A Baby”, with the former going hard and the latter taking a more melodic, tropical approach. Finally, Mosca (Number, Night Slugs, etc) comes with a subtle-yet-banging remix that simultaneously references early-90′s house and hyper-modern UK sounds.
We’re proud to announce the signing of Dubbel Dutch as an exclusive Mixpak artist, and excited for his brand new Hymn EP, set for release next month.
The Austin, TX, selector is an accomplished producer of cosmic tone poems and club anthems from the abyss; many claim his now-classic Throwback 12” on Palms Out Sounds saved their lives–or at least taught them a lesson in modern retrofitting. A chemistry of pre-hispanic shaman cries, YouTube videos of American microcosms, and 90s UK rave flyers make up his aesthetic, one which is not often associated with the Lone Star State. On Hymn, his debut EP for Mixpak, his methods havenʼt changed, but rather have become more refined.
For an insight into his new productions, check his remix of Lloyd’s ‘Lay It Down’, featured yesterday on The Fader :
Or listen back to his guest spot on DJ Q’s show on BBC 1Xtra from earlier this week, where he discusses how he got his name, how he produces, and what he’s got in store for the next few months.
