Interview with Don Jamal
Don Jamal, the Jordanian-born, Saudi Arabia-raised producer, is making waves in the dubstep world with his latest release, the 'Duelist' EP on Wubaholics. Known for its energetic tracks that excite the crowd, the EP showcases Don Jamal's unique production style that is deeply rooted in UK influence but transcends any specific genre.
The 'Duelist' EP, released earlier this year, does not tell a story in its three tracks but focuses on creating music that gets the crowd moving. This approach has proven successful, as the EP has been well-received by fans and critics alike.
On September 5, 2025, Don Jamal will take the stage at The Church Nightclub in Denver, Colorado, as part of an event headlined by Taiki Nulight. This performance is just the beginning of a tour that will cover eight different states around the same time. Although specific dates and cities beyond the Denver show are not yet fully detailed, fans can expect to see Don Jamal performing in various locations throughout 2025.
Don Jamal's musical journey began in Santa Barbara, California, in 2019, where he started producing music. His influences are heavily rooted in UK bass music, which he discovered through British international school, Premier League football, soccer summer camps, and UKF YouTube videos. This influence is evident in his music, which often blends old-school dubstep with new-school style to create club bangers that get the crowd going.
Denver's music scene is particularly favorable for dubstep, offering a significant contrast to the house-focused scene in places like Santa Barbara. Don Jamal has been a regular performer in the city, collaborating with Justin Jay on a New Year's Eve back-to-back set last year, which also featured Skrillex and Zeds Dead.
In addition to his solo work, Don Jamal has collaborated with Justin Jay and released tracks on Deep Dark and Dangerous, Deadbeats, and Bassrush. He has also performed at some of the most respected festivals across North America, including Infrasound and Lightning in a Bottle.
One of Don Jamal's career highlights this year was his set at Lightning in a Bottle, which he named his favourite festival set of the year. The promo process for his inclusion on the 'We Are Deadbeats Vol. 6' compilation was also noteworthy, featuring a radio-style announcement and social media teasers from the artists involved.
As Don Jamal prepares for his upcoming tour and performances, fans can stay updated by checking his official social media or ticket platforms. With his unique production style and energetic performances, Don Jamal is sure to continue making a name for himself in the dubstep world.
The 'Duelist' EP, with its focus on high-energy music, could serve as an excellent pre-show entertainment before Don Jamal's performances, blending seamlessly with the sports-charged atmosphere at the venues. Fans, eager to experience a fusion of music styles rooted in UK influence, can anticipate a riveting sports-meets-music experience during Don Jamal's tour stops.
