From Oslo to Paris: dublon’s Sophisticated Debut EP
Norwegian producer dublon has been quietly perfecting his jazz-house fusion, and “Nectar” – his debut EP via French label Delicieuse Musique – proves the wait was worth it. This isn’t your typical bedroom producer fare; it’s bridges club culture and live musicianship with genuine finesse.
The seven-track collection reads like a European tour diary, capturing everything from golden-hour soul to smoky late-night introspection. Dublon’s assembled an impressive cast of collaborators, including New Zealand jazz legend Nathan Haines, Stockholm’s TABLE, Texas alt-pop artist Deza, and French producer Tour-Maubourg.
“Salve” featuring Deza and TABLE radiates that SG Lewis-backed warmth, while “CPH” with Nathan Haines delivers a flute-laced tribute to Copenhagen that’s equal parts stylish and club-ready. The EP’s smoky slow-burner “Brush” showcases Tour-Maubourg’s touch, building to the raw, piano-led title track that strips everything back to dublon’s classical foundations.
What makes “Nectar” work is dublon’s restraint. These tracks roll with TR-909 grooves and tumbling jazz improvisations without ever feeling overwrought or academic. There’s real soul here – the kind that comes from someone who’s spent time absorbing the culture that informs every track.
“Nectar is the soundtrack to a European summer,” dublon explains, and that’s exactly what it delivers – groovy, melancholic, and refreshingly human in an increasingly digital landscape. For a debut EP, it’s remarkably assured work from a producer who clearly knows the difference between jazz-house and jazz-house done right.
