Daddy Cookiz and Simma Unite for Vinyl EP Blending Rub-a-Dub With Modern Production

Belgian MC Daddy Cookiz and Yorkshire-based producer Nathan Simm, known in the scene as Simma, have linked for a full 12" EP called "Where My Style Comes From," with the title track and video already out since April 3 via Simma's Superchip label. The complete eight-track release follows on June 5, 2026.

The Belgium-UK axis the project represents is not incidental to the music. Daddy Cookiz arrives fresh off a collaboration with French musician Slim Levy on the single "Wavy," extending a pattern of cross-border European reggae work that takes the Jamaican-derived vocabulary seriously without treating it as museum piece. Simma brings the production, DJ, and label infrastructure: Superchip operates alongside his primary imprint Dub Junction, and the catalogue already carries vocal contributions from YT, Parly B, and Blackout JA. The EP title doubles as an aesthetic declaration, naming the genealogy both artists are actively tracing.

For selectors, the format is the real conversation. Catalogued as SUPERCHIP007A, "Where My Style Comes From" is structured as four vocal cuts paired with four dub versions, the classic architecture of a project built to function on a sound system as readily as it does through headphones. Dub versions on a 12" are not filler; they are the tool a DJ uses to control tension, strip a channel, or let a riddem breathe between vocal drops. Pressing to vinyl rather than going digital-only is a deliberate signal about who this record is aimed at: the selector with a crate, not just a playlist.

The title track sets the production compass clearly: rub-a-dub textures with modern mix clarity, a groove that earns its place in a warm-up slot without sacrificing the low-end authority a proper sound system demands. It is not peak-time pressure; it is the kind of riddim that brings a room in steadily, and the dub versions are what keeps them there.

Independent labels like Superchip survive on exactly this kind of architecture, where limited-press vinyl and Bandcamp sales reach a focused niche of collectors and analog-minded DJs who are willing to pay for physical. With seven Superchip releases now in the catalogue, Simma has built enough of a track record that a June 5 date carries genuine anticipation in European roots and dub circles.
