Choki Biki Records are proud to present the latest EP from label boss Sharpson; Dublin Mannerisms. Dublin Mannerisms is a collection of melodic Breakbeat, Jungle and UKG sounding tunes from the London based Producer and Backwards DJ.

Over the years, Sharpson has been known for his production on with local Dublin Hip-Hop acts including 5th Element, Mango, Dusty Residents under his moniker ‘Double Screen’, in which he would innovatively combinine Liquid Drum & Bass with Dublin vocals. His most recent endeavour in the Irish Hip-Hop scene has been with Wax White, a Dublin based rap duo, in which he produced their debut EP ‘Young Fella’. Sharpson’s use of unused takes and materials from recording Wax White in the studio, and repurposing them into his tracks have become synonymous with his unique sound. These ‘Dublin Mannerisms’ litter this 5 track EP, creating a homage to his hometown.

“When I started DJing Drum & Bass about 12 years ago, I would get frustrated when I would play my own tracks and nobody would know they were mine. For ages I couldn’t figure out how to get people to realise that it was MY music. I always envied how Hip-Hop acts had their own individual accent and subject matter, so it was apparent that it was their music. I started to collaborate with Irish Hip-Hop acts such as Dusty Residents, 5th Element and Mango to make DNB tunes with Dublin accents rapping over them. Then, when I played these tracks in the clubs, people would hear the local accents and come up to me and ask who it was. I finally gave my tracks an identity.

Much like how the UK producers in the 90’s with dub-reggae drops, I started getting the Wax White boys to supply me with some vocal samples. When I was recording them for their own tracks, I would ask them to say something random into the microphone between takes which we called ‘Little Dublin Mannerisms’. This is how I got the samples for ‘4 Ur Ma’, ‘Rock Up Knock Up’, Who’s In The Garden’, ‘Locked’ and ‘Tesco Lager’. I like the idea of giving club music a Dublin accent.”
