Dummy Thicc has today released his new album titled ‘Aw Shit!’ via Mutual Intentions AS. While there is a lot to digest with this double album, there is also a lot of musical diversity. With multiple collaborations from different walks of life, there is a global atmosphere throughout the album that gives you the luxury of pressing play and just letting the album run its course.
While some of the tracks give you that slow build to a crescendo, others get right to it. Almost feeling like a concept from a concept, ‘Aw Shit!’ is all feels amid diversity and creative inclusion that melds and molds the muse and gets right to the stylistic point. This is a journey.
About Dummy Thicc
A veteran of the Scandinavian music scene, Dummy Thicc has lent his signature drum work to some of Norway’s biggest musical exports, including Boy Pablo and AURORA, as well as his own R&B/soul collective Giddy Gang. Now, he emerges center stage, armed with a vision that blends the experimental edges of hip-hop, the warmth of R&B, and the dusty textures of psychedelic funk and jazz.
“A lot of the music was made during lockdown, and the album was completed in 2020,” says Dummy Thicc. “This project represents a time of experimenting and searching for new musical vibes, with some parts purely instrumental and others featuring rap. ‘Aw Shit!’ isn’t about fitting into any one genre but is about exploring and having fun with music. The singles offer a glimpse into that creative process.”
The album is a sonic love letter to the beat culture that inspired Dummy Thicc’s artistry—fans of DJ Harrison, Madlib, Ohbliv, and the iconic Ninja Tune label will find themselves right at home. Split into two distinct halves:
- Side A offers a raw, intimate experience with Dummy Thicc performing nearly every instrument himself.
- Side B brings a collaborative energy, with contributions from friends and frequent collaborators, including acclaimed Norwegian rapper Ivan Ave, Zimbabwe-born,
Oslo-based hip-hop artist Vuyo and members of Giddy Gang, adding lyrical depth and new textures to the mix.
This debut release is more than a producer album—it’s a snapshot of an artist stepping into full creative ownership. It’s eclectic, emotional, and unafraid to take risks.
With a firm foundation in rhythm and a playful, boundary-pushing approach to sound, ‘Aw Shit!’ is a fitting introduction to an artist we thought we already knew—and a taste of what’s to come from Sigmund Vestrheim’s next chapter.
