A special insight into party music that's great for your soul and your head sets Dub apart from most producers and this has made him one of those artists the techno scene relies on for peak-time sounds. His records get props from everyone from LA Williams and Richard Grey to Ricardo Villalobos and Andy Weatherall, even Sven Vath. He's recently put out tunes through Warp's off shoot, Arcola, and influential German label Raum...Musik, plus he's already done the soundtrack for Channel 4's Burning Man film, the Tomorrow's World Live show, as well as for some web games and legendary fetish fashion show The Torture Garden. Most recently, he's been added to the roster of Shefield's Dust Science label.
Kult, the infamous club night Dub runs with the Kult collective, has run since 1997, shaking the floor from everywhere from the ICA to dodgy Dalston warehouses and swank West London clubs. Guests have included Nathan Coles, Tyler T-Bone Stadius, Richard Grey, Cylob, Evil Eddie Richards and Brit underground legend Tom Churchill.
Dub doesn't serve up an arid musical mono-culture, but a rich mix. The diversity of his music is a reflection of his background half-Indian, half-English, part-time member of both the cool crowd and the geek gaggle, neither definitively house nor techno. The music he makes is for both the head and the body. Even tunes that seem made for those moments when you're lost on the dance-floor always have some latent, brooding meaning an intention. Like few DJs of his generation, Dub understands that at the centre of clubbing madness lies a still, reflective core. Dub KULT is a man whose whole career has been dedicated to the un-ending call-and-response of rhythm, this time expressed in electronic music.
