BTC: “Gold Dust” n’ Double Dutch

Back in the summer of 2006, DJ Fresh (drum n’ bass/dupsteppin’ badass from Britain) dropped a heavy, gritty, GAWjuss record called Escape From Planet Monday. This coming August, Fresh is back with his second full-length solo album, Kryptonite. Here’s the video for the first single, a revamped version of his ’08 release “Gold Dust”, featuring new vocals by the Jamaican dance hall diva Ce’Cile and astounding performances by American Double Dutch Champions, Jumpers In Command:

    Great video, I had no idea double dutch could be so crazy. Personally I love Fresh’s darker tunes like Heavyweight, but Gold Dust is still a really fun tune. He tends to get a lot of crap from the Drum and Bass community for making dark oldschool tracks and then more dancefloor centered stuff like Kryptonite, but he has always made whatever he feels like. I’ll just leave this here(not by me): http://bit.ly/8YTACL
