For several years, Brooklyn-based producer Dubbel Dutch (a.k.a Marc Glasser) has acted as a harbinger for American club music, often steps ahead of his peers in discovering and defining the proverbial next sound. As both a producer and DJ, Glasser has shown a willingness to study, reinterpret and re-contextualize disparate sounds, transfixing his skills on a grab bag of genres, ranging from euphoric dancehall to triumphant grime with brief stops to experiment with UK funky, kuduro and Jersey club. A contemporary club shaman, Dubbel Dutch's aim is to inspire transcendence with his 'cosmic tone poems and club anthems from the abyss'.

While his ascendency to the cream of pop music has raised awareness of the Dubbel Dutch brand to exciting new levels, don't expect him to abandon his humble club beginnings. Never one to feel comfortable in a single lane, Glasser has stayed busy producing for others, cultivating his many side-projects/aliases for Los Angeles based label Body High, and taking on eclectic remix duties. He’s currently working towards a debut full-length album set for a 2015 release.

All in all, Dubbel Dutch has situated himself neatly at the cross-roads of forward-thinking club music, Jamaican dancehall culture, and American pop music consciousness. With a massive, still bubbling single, an extended portfolio of euphoric solo material, and a growing stockpile of club munitions, the coming years look bright for this dance music polyglot.


"Adventurous, often confrontational but always playful, a DJ set from LA's producer and artist Ashland Mines, aka Total Freedom, draws listeners into a whirlwind of ever-evolving texture and sensation. Unafraid to assault crowds with jarring shifts in mood and tempo, in his hands, R&B-concrète collides with rap, grime and ballroom house, while sung vocals abruptly dissolve into swamps of syrupy, dragged-out noise swells. As akin to real-time sonic collage as typical dance music DJing, Mines' free-associative approach places recognizable hip hop and R&B glimpses within abrasive, rhythmically distorting sonic space, making the familiar thrillingly unfamiliar. Alongside LA friends and contemporaries like Nguzunguzu, Kingdom and Arca, he's poised among the vanguard of a vibrant, still evolving new aesthetic in club music.

Mines has presented sound installation and performance work around the world for institutions such as MOCA, The New Museum, LACMA, the Whitney, Carnegie Museum of Art, MCA Chicago, and Tate Modern."


From an unofficial remix of Chiddy Bang and Icona Pop’s “Mind Your Manners” released in August 2011, Basscamp’s mainstream growth has been swift. In 2013, he had his remix of Tiesto and DJ Punish’s 2013 single “Shocker,” picked up for official release by Tiesto’s label Musical Freedom. As well, his recent remix of pop star Lorde’s “Tennis Court” was supported by OWSLA’s Nest website after a viral spread on Tumblr. Similar success met his remix of Avicii’s “Addicted to You” done alongside fellow DC-based rising producer, Rex Riot.

Support for his work has been coming in from all over, including Tiesto, Big Dope P, Audra Mae, Bro Safari, :DFace, Viceroy, Infuze, and Proper Villains. Basscamp anticipates an active and successful 2014.
