Dublin’s most prolific musical entity (surely) follow-up their gigantic ‘Dirty Dubplates’ banger Big Tings with this – the Dirty Swingers EP. Now, I know you’re thinking ‘wife swap’ (and not in the Channel 4 sense) but this is ‘swingers’ as in ‘swing.’ Yes, this time around those all-round ‘genre slags’ the Dirty Dubsters have turned to the greatest musical phenomenon of the late thirties and early forties for inspiration. It’s not just straight swing of course – don’t be ridiculous – this is the Dubsters we’re talking about which basically means natty little swing samples have been bolted on to monstrous beats (in a variety of breakbeat tempos and styles) and wobbly basslines in an A Skillz-“Tip Up Your Cup”-stylee. I shouldn’t really have to give any more explanation than that really…should I? Didn’t think so…

(PRESS RELEASE) ‘Dirty Swingers’ EP
The Dubsters raid their crates and rework some classic 1930’s swing, churning it into a big beat electro swing party rocking monster. The 4 track EP is the perfect compliment for the electro swing / nufunk party dj, and offers a solid range of sounds from mid temp breaks and samba grooves to house and even a liquid funk DnB track for good measure.
