J DUB

RUBIX and my birthday party SEPT 28

About Me

My names Johnny, more affectionatly known by many as J Dub though. I've lived in Sydney NSW all my life, and intend on doing so for the rest of it. I love this city. But thats not before I get out and see the world.On the working side of things, I've been in the marketing and sales industry now for a few years, particulary in the night club industry with my work at YU Kings Cross. I run a monthly event there called Rubix which has some of Sydney's finest tech DJ's on rotation. I am also a door host and P.R team leader at YU. So if your looking for some extra work, get in contact.A change from this lifestyle is my career in the Army reserves at 2/17 Pymble. I have been a private in the infantry corps for over one year now and still love every moment I put that uniform on.In terms of goals, I am hoping to be accepted into the fire brigade at the end of this year. This is a career path I have wanted since I can remember.

My Interests

Apart from spending all my weekends out till the early morning and barely remembering the night before, there is another side to me.I'm a bit of a nature freak, underwater life in particular. Seeings as I do not have my SCUBA license as yet, snorkeling is my number one past time, especially come Summer. I'l spend hours under water and most of that time is spent at Shelley Beach just south of Manly.I probably spend a little too much time on my car as well. I have a Peugeot 306, which gets a very detailed clean, polish and conditioning somewhat often. It is something my girlfriend Brooke cannot stand.

I'd like to meet:

There isn't anyone in particular I would like to meet. I just want to be sround people who love to have fun and can see the funny side of any situation.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

Music:

The electronic music coming out of the EU at the moment is amazing. Thankfully electro has had it's 15 minutes of fame and now the tech and minimal scene is really starting to rise.Artists like M.A.N.D.Y, Booka Shade, Williams, Claude Von Stroke, Sebastian Leger and Sander Klieneberg to name a few, are up there in my favourites.Locals like Mark Dynamix, Telefunken, Ember, and Deepchild are doing thier part for the Sydney team, remixing and spinning the world's greatest DJ's and producing high quality tracks.Other names of mixed genres to mention would be Tiesto, Armin Van Buurin, Daft Punk, Freeform Five, The Presets, Midnight Juggernauts, Wolfmother, Jack Johnson, Cut Copy, Kanye West, Little Birdy, End of Fashion, Live, Van She, Jamiroquai, John Mayer, James Morrison, Frank Sinatra, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Toxic Avenger, Soulwax, Pink Floyd, Oasis, Mylo, MSTRKRFT, Eskimo Joe, John Butler Trio, Digitalism, Bloc Party, Crowded House and Axwell.Ofcourse there are hundreds more, but thats just a sample of what I'l be listening to if I have any chance.

Movies:

I don't exactly have much time to go and see movies so there won't be much for you to read here.I will say that Blue Crush is one of my favourite movies.Up there is also Jarhead, 300, Mr Brooks, Finding Nemo, Pirates of the Carribean (all 3), Disturbia, Flags of Our Fathers, Letters from Iwo Jima, Point Break, Scarface, Blow and Sin City.

Television:

The best thing channel 10 has done is started broadcasting Californication. That show is great.Sea Patrol is another one of my favourites, as is Water Rats. It's a shame they cut Backyard Blitz, that was awesome on a Sunday night.I just wish I had Foxtel so I could see more of MXC, Family Guy and American Dad.

Books:

I havn't done much reading at all since finishing school.Apart from the odd "Guide to Sydney Fishes and Marine Life", I have read and enjoyed Anthony Kiedis' Autobiography, "Scar Tissue" and Peter Fitzsimmons' "Kokoda" and Kate Holden's "In My Skin"

Heroes:

GOT A BIRTHDAY? Of course you do, everybody does.Well if yours is coming up, have you considered having it all organised and looked after for you by the YU and SOHO crew?If not, then start considering!Get in contact with me and I'l get everything done for your special night.John
