Max HeyraudThis week’s Mix of the Week comes from Dublin-based low-end maestro Small Crab, who features on Miley Serious’ Rinse France show.
Few producers and DJs have risen in the Irish scene quite like Small Crab. Her CV reads and listens like pure gold—there’s not a blemish, misstep, or hint of complacency. She has made her mark with a forward-facing approach to dubstep and bass-adjacent sounds, and her latest guest mix for Miley Serious showcases this vision in full colour.
The mix is defined by its sheer sound—massive, gaping, and colossal. Rip-roaring drops, swelling atmospheres, and breaks that cut deep make it a full-scale sonic assault. The forward-driving drum programming and earth-shaking bass give it an unmistakable power, yet it never loses its groove.
Small Crab pushes the energy higher and higher, letting the BPMs ride to near-Richter-scale levels and letting sub-bass hum beautifully in the 30–40Hz range—the kind you feel in your stomach. Despite the raw power, the funk remains intact; each track feels like it’s been run through a cement mixer—stringent, energetic, and robust. This mix is a commanding display of what Small Crab is all about.
