If Dutch Melrose has a musical running mate, it is benny mayne. The two have built a catalog of collaborations under Dutch’s MADKID Records banner, and Mayne is along for the whole ride on the 2026 tour as special guest.
The tracks
Their run together includes RUSH (2023), Pretty Please (2024) and Match Made in Hell (2024), songs that lean into the same moody, melodic, dark-pop lane that defines Dutch’s solo work. Where a lot of collaborations feel like one-offs, these read like a shared world, two writers circling the same after-midnight mood across multiple years.
Why the partnership works
Recurring collaborators are rare because chemistry is rare; most features happen once and never again. The fact that Dutch and Mayne keep returning to each other suggests something more like a creative friendship than a business arrangement, a pairing where each one sharpens the other. It also gives Dutch’s catalog a recurring character, a familiar second voice fans come to associate with his best moments.
A labelmate, a co-writer, and a tour partner, all in one.
On the road together
Mayne supports Dutch across The Heartbreak Hotel Tour, the ten-date US run in 2026, so the studio partnership carries straight onto the stage. It is the kind of tight, self-contained team, one label, one sound, one touring party, that lets an independent operation move fast and keep the whole thing in-house.
