East End Dubs is a London-based DJ, producer, and label boss whose name has become synonymous with cutting-edge minimal and tech-house. Known for his deep, rolling grooves, signature analog warmth, and tireless dedication to vinyl culture, East End Dubs has carved a respected path through the global underground scene, without ever compromising on his roots. Growing up in East London, his early years were steeped in UK garage, jungle, and the gritty energy of the city’s rave culture. He began DJing as a teenager, spinning vinyl at school parties before moving onto warehouse raves and underground clubs. That hands-on start laid the foundation for a career grounded in DJing first, production came later, born from a desire to craft tools that matched his unique style behind the decks. Launching the East End Dubs project in the early 2010s, he quickly caught attention with a series of sleek, highly playable vinyl-only releases. His music, groovy, percussive, and atmospherically restrained, struck a chord with both old-school heads and new-generation ravers. Rather than flooding the market, he’s remained selective with his output, often playing unreleased tracks exclusively in his sets, cultivating a sense of mystery and rarity around his sound. In 2014, he founded Eastenderz, a now internationally recognized record label and events brand. What began as a platform for his own material has grown into a full-fledged cultural movement, curating releases from a global roster of talent and hosting events across cities like London, Barcelona, Amsterdam, and Ibiza. The label’s signature aesthetic bold, minimal, and vinyl-focused, reflects his vision for the future of underground club music. As a performer, East End Dubs is renowned for high-energy, technically skilled DJ sets, often on vinyl or hybrid setups. His “ExtENDed” series multi-hour journeys into deep, dubby house and techno, has become a sought-after experience, proving his command of the dancefloor. He’s played legendary venues such as Fabric (London), DC10 (Ibiza), Watergate (Berlin), and festivals like Music On and Awakenings. Now a respected figure in the scene, he’s entering a new creative phase. In recent years, he has spent countless hours in his analog-heavy studio, working toward his long-anticipated debut album. Described as more emotive and expansive than his club tracks, the album promises to reveal a deeper artistic side, while still rooted in groove and modular experimentation. Despite his growing status, East End Dubs remains grounded. He continues to press vinyl, keeps his releases understated, and maintains a fierce independence that defines both his music and his ethos. For him, it’s always been about connection, the pulse of the crowd, the weight of the bassline, the honesty of the sound. In a world that moves fast, East End Dubs is a reminder that the underground thrives on authenticity, patience, and passion.
