“I didn’t set out to make a rave valentine to the Beastie Boys-it just turned out that way,” testifies Nick Catchdubs as he graces XLR8R Podcast listeners with a sweat-drenched, bass-ridden exclusive mix. The Brooklyn-based DJ, who co-founded Fool’s Gold Records with A-Trak, drops heaps of tracks here that employ techno samples and drum sounds in the same anything-goes, hodgepodge fashion the Beasties raided old-school soul breaks and Moog records. Staying faithful to his love of new music and original remixes, Catchdubs assembles a diverse collection of tracks (including some fresh exclusives) that delivers an apt gauge of the present dance music scene.
