DJ Dub a.k.a. Jim'll Mixit - Who the hell is he??
Hailing from deepest, darkest South London, (with a 15 year stint in the countryside) Dub has been on the London DJ scene for over a decade, rocking venues all over the big smoke, the rest of the UK and beyond. Resident and promoter of his own night Heads Up at Ruby Lo, W1, a classic hip hop DJ in every sense, his sets are a dizzying blend of musical styles weaving their way from Stevie Wonder to The Neptunes, Prince to Timbaland, from Dizzee Rascal to Louis Armstrong and Lady Sovereign to Diana Ross - a rollercoaster ride through almost every genre of music, all mixed up in his own inimitable style.
Dub has also dipped his toe into the murky waters of the DVJ, performing the now legendary DVJ set Music To Drive Cars By at the Formula 1 Bahrain Grand Prix in 2006 and 2007.
Dub is also a music producer, check out his MySpace , and is currently working with singer/songwriter Amy, recording and performing under the name Dixie . He is also DJ/producer for Rapscallion and A&R Consultant for Vicious Music.
Winner of 'IDJ Mixtape Of The Month' in June 2002, he has also written music, club and gig reviews for Hip Hop Connection and the Channel U website.
Dub has also recently pioneered a series of DJ Tutorial Podcasts in conjunction with i-Amplify . This follows on from the continued success of his DJ Tutoring courses, providing DJ workshops for the Prince's Trust Urban Music Festival in '04 & '05, Lambeth Crime Prevention Trust, Southwark Youth Services and Connextions.
