As the founder of Mixpak Records in 2009, Dre Skull has overseen the release of some of the most monumental dancehall releases of recent years, from artists like Popcaan, Vybz Kartel, Spice, Beenie Man, and more.

While Mixpak is undoubtedly responsible for releasing some of the biggest names in dancehall in recent memory, they also have been turning out a steady stream of forward thinking, bass heavy club music that often touches on, and in turn inspires, the dancehall sound.
