Knights of the DUB Table - Sing It To Me Remix EP

Since their inception in 2008, Knights of the DUB Table's high-energy performances have left the crowds wanting more. Now bringing us their phenomenal debut 5-track Remix EP, we get a taste of exactly what great things are to come from this Hamilton six-piece.

Choosing their first ever tune Sing It To Me as the subject, the Knights wow us with a collection of remixes by some of NZ's topnotch producers. Featuring a debut remix by their very own Mr Samy'samson, they have also pulled in music legend Tiki Taane, dubstep maestro Optimus Gryme and Aus-based outfit The Versionaries.

Combine all this beauty with the mad skills of mastering magician Evan Short and what we have here is one amazing shiny, fat EP.
