Available in Digital & Streaming formats, The Underdog LP arrives with a two-week exclusive on Traxsource and Spotify beginning March 27th, followed by general release on April 10th. For DJ Dove, born Barbarito Capote in New York City and raised in Hoboken, New Jersey to Cuban parents, this album represents more than music. It is legacy in motion. A DJ since 1990 and producer since 1994, Dove’s journey from Hip-Hop, R&B, and Reggae into the depths of underground house has solidified him as one of New York’s true keepers of the flame. Inspired by pioneers like Frankie Knuckles and encouraged by late icon Erick Morillo, Dove continues to honor the culture while pushing it forward. Diversification, feeling, and energy are the pillars of The Underdog LP. The album seamlessly navigates House, Tech House, Deep House, Afro, Latin, Brazilian grooves, Progressive, and Soulful House, crafted for DJs, tastemakers, and global streamers alike. Highlights include the uplifting opener “Touch My Soul” with Da Night, the hypnotic tech-driven “Blow My Music” with AndThen, and the Afro-infused “Ritmo Fuerte” alongside Bakongo Beats. Progressive standouts like “Elixir” with Lorna James and “You’re Beating My Heart” featuring Andrea Godin showcase Dove’s melodic depth, while “Musical Healing” with YanniJay and Venessa Jackson delivers a soulful closing moment rooted in emotion. The album also brings together an international cast of collaborators including Angelica De No, CLAVÉ, Dennis Wonder, Doc Brown, Francisco Samuel, Julieta Hernandez, Mike Parra, N.W.N., Todd G., DJ Disciple, Koby Gray, Kry (IT), Sharon May Linn, Lee Davey-Brown, Nick Terranova & Andrea Godin, and more, reinforcing the project’s global DNA. With chart history that includes Beatport #1 placements and Traxsource Top 100 success, along with releases supported by Defected and major-label remix credits, DJ Dove’s consistency speaks volumes. Yet The Underdog LP may be his most complete artistic statement to date, a reminder that longevity, authenticity, and passion always win. This is not just an album. This is the sound of perseverance.
