AL DOBSON JR – in 10 Records

If we had to name our 10 favorite new artists or producers there is one name that wouldn’t need any debating.

South London’s AL DOBSON JR caught our attention in a big way in 2013 with his the debut 12′ on the equally amazing 22a music records. He then followed with a slew of killer releases and remixes on IZWID, Rhythm Section and others. We also released his great mix (link) to preview his appearance at this year’s Dimensions Festival.

We were curious to know what the dude listens to which inspires to produce such dope music!
