The weekend is jusssst setting in and even though it’s cold outside, you know we’ve got plenty of heat to send your way! Today we have the premiere of DJ Chuckie and Childsplay‘s official video for Insane off their brand new dance hall-inspired EP aptly titled Traphall. I know what you’re thinking: “get the **** out of here RTT, Chuckie makes house music.” Well, surprise! With the aid of Childsplay, the two have managed to release 4 tracks that do a wonderful job of incorporating trap music elements into a sexy Jamaican dance-hall aesthetic with, of course, some clearly discernible “dutch” influences. The resulting sound is undeniably unique– a product of two Netherlander musicians emulating musical styles from the other side of the globe. From Dirty Dutch:

Continuing the expansion of Dirty Dutch Music, Chuckie finds his stride with this latest effort, Traphall. A brand new 4 Track EP, this collaboration with ChildsPlay features a bombastic hybrid of trap and classic Dancehall tunes unlike any before it. Traphall is a testament to Chuckie’s vision for Dirty Dutch Music. This incomparable leadership is taking the label into all spectrums of dance music, leaving no stone unturned. Precursing singles, “Vamonos” and “Bang!”, saw the king of Dirty Dutch leave his one-of-a-kind mark within Melbourne Bounce. Chuckie’s highly anticipated follow up came in a larger than life remix of Deadmau5’s seminal “Ghosts ‘N’ Stuff”. Successfully reworking a groundbreaking classic of such notoriety cannot be understated, as it breathed new life for modern audiences without ever losing the allure of its source material. Traphall is Chuckie’s next step into the dance music stratosphere, unleashing an inimitable fusion between styles of vastly different musical backgrounds from the past and the present.

The whole EP is available as a free download (track by track) via SoundCloud and is definitely worth a listen. It’s absolutely fascinating to hear how trap music is expanding into other genres across the globe and to hear artists really experiment with sounds that may be out of their usual repertoire. Have a listen and be sure to check out the video for insane below to get a peek at this here lifestyle.

I suspect this isn’t the last Traphall music we’ll hear from these two… (and you know I just wanna smoke dutchies with some dutchies yo!)
