A Dekmantel double helping—this year Doudou MD graces both Selectors and the main festival. But don’t be fooled: she won’t be pulling the same tricks twice. With a sonic repertoire that spans house, swung techno, UK garage, dubby rollers, and beyond, her selections run far and wide, and no two sets are ever alike. Born to a Dutch classical singer and pianist and a Congolese percussionist, Doudou MD’s musical roots run deep—rhythm and melody are quite literally in her blood. Her mostly-vinyl mixes pull from the golden eras of UK, American, and German electronica, layered with percussion, hypnotic rhythms, and a spiritual undertone. With a spot on DJ Mag’s 'Ones to Watch' list, a residency at Utrecht’s renowned SlapFunk, and regular appearances at Amsterdam’s VBX, Doudou MD is a star on the rise.
