Every bum is different.

I knew you were gonna fall for that headline. After several years of spinning in clubs, Milanese DJs Nobel and Uabos decide to get into production in late 2010 and bang out some great tunes. They call themselves SAY DUBAI and send their stuff to No Brainer Records.

Still there? If you fell asleep, just put on the title track of this EP and its captivating mixture of oldschool techno and tropical bass will blast you awake in no time. If the military was fun ‘Bum’ would be what they would be marching to.

For his remix SAM TIBA (Marble Music) uses the currency that makes him a Zillionaire: Ideas. Can somebody please close my mouth, which is still open since I listened to this for the first time.

POLYMATH (MofoHiFi) gives ‘Bum’ the techno treatment. This one’s for when your dancefloor needs a quick fix. Don’t drink coffee before you listen.

KILL LIGHT (Cheaper Thrills) writes a love letter to the groove. He seems to have inhaled tons of dub before breathing this remix out.

With two more originals SAY DUBAI prove that they know their game. ‘Fast Prey’ feels like maneuvering a starship in a sci-fi chase, but funkier. And ‘Coala’ is another sneak peak into future dimensions. Musically more break then dance, but a suitable bum’s rush.

‘Until then we Say Dubai’
