DUB-U
(Tempa/Hotflush)
Dub U’ aka ‘Selector Dub U’ is a San Jose, California based DJ that began in 1994, inspired by his love for dancing, as well as dance and experimental music. Within his first year of dj’ing he was opening for Detroit techno greats Claude Young and DBX (Dan Bell).
His initial inspiration came from listening to DJ Red Alert and Marley Marl mixing hip hop and soul on WBLX and Kiss FM in NYC in the early 80’s and hearing Planet Rock by Afrika Bambaataa and Tour De France by Kraftwerk. In addition, he was influenced by late 70’s and 80’s punk, dub and dancehall, reggae, funk, jazz, house, hardcore, jungle, techno, electro, ambient and d&b. In the early 90’s hearing DJs such as Master’s At Work, Todd Terry, Dj Pierre, Danny Tenaglia and Carl Craig propelled him to buy his first Technics and master the art of DJ’ing.
After years of playing in San Francisco, he started producing music, drawing on his training in drums/percussion and audio engineering. In the year 2000 he started hearing the first 2 step and UK garage music and fell in love with UK underground dance music which inspired him to blend past and present influences.
Recently Dub U has seen his collaboration with TRG released on Hotflush 2 Recordings and he remixed Baron Zen’s – “No More,” for Stones Throw Records with Tekbazer.
