Biografía
- J.Dub From Chicago lives and breathes the underground DIY ethos of the city he learned and honed his craft in as a DJ in the 90s. His blazing, high energy sets merge his passions for melody, booming bass, and soulful rhythms.J.Dub is a unique and edgy presence in the Chicago house music pantheon with years of touring and genre smashing production under his belt. He’s toured North America and Europe extensively as a headlining DJ and lead vocalist for Greenskeepers as well as holding multiple residencies at clubs in Chicago, LA, Toronto, and Vancouver. In his early days on the club scene he was a regular at the legendary Shelter nightclub, Red Dog, Karma, RedNoFive, and most notably his Sorted night alongside DJ Heather at the iconic Smart Bar. Shows at Toronto’s Industry nightclub propelled him into the Canadian house scene leading to tours across the country. His classic mixtapes released by Canadian imprint Blu Funk Recordings solidified his status as an underground house standout and must see live performer. “Love On The Line”, “Vagabond”, “We Just Won't Stop”, “Through All This Stuff”, “Back and Forth”, “Master of Time”, “Deepest Trip” and “Too Cool To Dance” are just a few of the buzz worthy vocal projects released by dance/indie labels DFA, Smash Hit, Rockstar, GKM, Farris Wheel, Homecoming and new label home Exploited. His move to London in the mid 2000s led to sets at London DJ institutions Ministry of Sound, The End, and Turnmills. During the summer of 2008, J.Dub joined James Curd and L.A. DJ/Musician Chris Holmes in forming electro/rock/rap group Science & Industry. This multi-talented artist has had past projects remixed by the likes of Derrick Carter, DJ Sneak, Mark Farina, Stacy Pullen, 1200 Warriors, Chuck Love, JT Donaldson, Members Only, David Duriez and Jason Hodges. Vocal projects on Exploited Recordings with longtime collaborator James Curd opened new doors including extensive radio play in the states especially on L.A.’s globally recognized KCRW. Streaming has become a huge part of the Chicago house master’s multi-faceted approach to reaching the most ears possible. His appearances on DJ Sneak’s biggest shows alongside his Chi-town DJ family have expanded his audience greatly during the past 3 years. He’s also been a guest on many other channels including Dirtybird, Lazydaze, Bestbeats.TV and One House Collective.
