The Dirty Dubsters are made up of Dublin based production/DJ duo DJ OBese and Jay SHARP. They have been established under this moniker since mid 2009, however the duo has been collaborating together on various productions and as part of the Break-Down crew since early 2006. Their sound is everything from nu funk, party breaks, bootlegs, breakbeat, drum n bass, hiphop and house. There is a definite theme running through all their tracks, with the majority of the tracks strongly glued down by reggae samples combined with big drum beats and fat driving bass grooves.


2010 was a busy year for the Dirty Dubsters, with over 60 tracks down over 20 different releases on various labels including their own digital label 'Dirty Dubster Digital'. Their digital label has proved very successful, with Dirty Dubster releases remaining in the bestseller lists consistently since the label was established. The 'Don't mean a thing if aint got that Swing EP' went to No. 5 best selling release on the entire Juno download site over all genres.


The Dirty Dubsters profile has developed rapidly this year, with many well known producers and DJs proclaiming themselves fans of the big beat Dublin duo – including Fort Knox Five, Rust B (All Good Funk Alliance), Mr Benn, BadboE, Danny Massure, DJ Shepdog (niceUP! Records), Mungo HiFi, Fuzzbox Inc, DJ Wood, Pimpsoul, Slynk....... to name just a few.


Throughout 2010 the Dirty Dubsters collaborated with many different MC’s from around the globe while working on their Dirty Dub-Plate Series. These included Bass Nacho (Florida, USA), Chip Fu (Las Vegas, USA), Whandah the Dainty Queen (New York, USA), Jah Clarity (Kingston, Jamaica) Screechy Dan (USA, JA.) Afu Ra (USA) and Chantelle Ernandez (Kingston, Jamaica) Top Cat (UK). These collaborations have proved very successful with the 1st release with Bass Nacho receiving rave reviews and the B-side even landing on Don Letts playlist on BBC Radio 6.


2011 will see the Dirty Dubsters expand in to bigger and better things with the launch of their own label “Irish Moss Records” which will be a vinyl based label featuring original vocals from established Jamaican / reggae artists with some big names on the production and remix duties.


DirtyDubsters set up a SoundCloud page in January 2010, which has proved to be an excellent outlet for their music. It has proved to be a great place to network with like-minded producers / DJ’s / labels and promoters. With over 5,000 followers and over 200,000 plays in the first 12 months, the SoundCloud portal has proved very successful for the lads.
