3 tracks, fusing influences from Bubbling, Early Dubstep & Juke / Footwork
I started these tracks back in 2021, when i was experimenting a lot with Electronic music genres i’ve always loved.
After digging deeper in Bubbling battles & Speedy Bubbling from the late 90s i noticed some similarities in the high energy & bpm from these styles of Bubbling & Juke / Footwork.
When i met DJ Rtje in 2024 and i heard him making Bubbling tracks at 150BPM, i felt like it was time to finalize this project and push the BPM even higher.
A great part of my work as a musician is research, finding similarities in genres and combining these into my own sound and my own music. The early Dubstep days influence is always heavily present in my music, since i fell in love with this genre back in 2010. These tracks use percussion rhythms & Bass patterns reminiscent of those days.
With this music being a collaborative effort between my influences / genres that don’t necessarily align with each other at first sight, i thought it was only right to have the cover reflect this.
In June, Tijmen Ijsendijk, Jero Leeflang and Marley White collaborated on a single piece of jewelry — each working for two days, without meeting or communicating directly. Their only exchange happened through what was left behind on the workbench. Each maker responded to the traces of the one before, continuing a silent, intuitive dialogue through material and form.
This one-of-a-kind, handcrafted piece is part of “3x3=1”, an initiative by At;as Amsterdam , a jewelry platform based in the heart of Amsterdam.
Made from solid gold, it embodies three visions, three hands, one shared creation.
