“I don’t know how Dabow isn’t playing in every festival around the world.” Holly tweeted this just a few weeks ago and let me say, there is no more urgent question than this one. We at FUXWITHIT have been wondering about this for quite some time, as we have been chronicling the Argentinian producer’s incredible musical adventures on this blog since 2015. A time when he was still dividing his creative efforts between the Wobad and, the now iconic, Dabow moniker. He’s trap music’s final boss, a legend among legends, your favorite producer’s favorite producer. The best way to sum up Dabow’s journey is probably the one Wiley Cable came up with: “this dude has made every festival banger you’ve heard since 2013, every single one.”
This is not the article in which we are going to analyze his omnipresence in the bass scene, but to highlight some recent news, just know that Chase & Status used one of his samples in the intro of their chart-topping new single ‘Backbone’ with Stormzy (their first UK number one song ever).
But Dabow’s influence goes also beyond his own productions. His tastemaker skills are held in the same regard as his mixes, playlists, and SoundCloud likes are an endless source of bangers of the rarest kind. For this new volume of Bootleg Business we asked him to dig into his archives and treat us with seven of his current favourite unofficial remixes and edits. Needless to say, he did not disappoint.
Bass Cannon (LYNY Flip)
Skrillex, Hamdi, TAICHU & OFFAIAH – Push (MALIXE Remix)
G Jones & EPROM – R.A.V.E. (Rebel Scum Bootleg)
BOOM BOOM POW (K3ONI CLUB WEAPON EDIT)
The first drop of this one got that push!!! It always makes me wanna play it out! Super fresh. I wasn’t familiar with K3ONI and this flip was a great entry point.
