Maneesh the Twister Wins 2007 BEST CLUB DJ in SF Guardian’s 3rd Annual Readers Poll!!
Surya Dub is extremely honored to have been selected as the 2007 Best Club Night in SF by the SF Weekly Music Awards!
A huge thank you to everyone for your support this year - we look forward to keeping the deep bass vibrating through SF and beyond in the coming year!
We feel very blessed to have been selected as the top club night amongst our highly respected San Francisco club scene. Having been around less than a year makes this even more special that we have been recognized as one of the most innovative and ground-breaking nights; In fact we are the only underground night representing Dubstep, Reggae/Dancehall, DnB, Breakbeat or Global sounds to even have been nominated!
Thanks and respect to all of you out there for your continued support! Brap!

His vision is to unite all dubwize communities from Roots Reggae to Dubstep and Ragga to Dread Bass Breakbeat and Drum’n’Bass to Bhangra, S. Asian Electronica and Global Bass Beat Bizness. Originating from ancient Sanskrit ‘Surya’ means Sun or Solar and with this energy combining with the bass heavy aesthetic of Dub, the new project comes alive.
