Dubbel Dutch’s first EP for Mixpak, Hymn, is out today!
The appropriately titled intro, “Open Up,” exposes a world of chaos where feral Midi demon dogs are unavoidable and an eerie timbale melody hums in the distance. Then comes “Darq”: a sonic no-manʼs land where only the echoing shrieks of those foolish enough to enter can escape its sub-bass, sounding as if, heaven forbid, Goth Kids fell head over heels in love with Miami Bass. The next obstacle on the gauntlet, “Heartbruk,” is a riddim so infested with duppies that any sane Dancehall artist would leave it the fuck alone, yet it would make the perfect soundtrack for a movie based on an Anthony Winkler novel. The journey ends, luckily, with the title track, maybe the most uplifting moment in this producerʼs career, which gives hope of survival by means of triumphant brass and Coupe Decale snares.
