Roland Dubbs (aka Electrique, aka Will Drennan) is a northern soul whose first musical love was house music.
The name Roland Dubbs originates from a bad ass night out with close friend and fellow producer Figure Of Wax (aka Tom Speak). Sat in a local drinkery full of tards and smelly hippies the two, then teenagers, began to croon famous rap lyrics over the live jazz playing in the backround - they decided to give their new mashup-jazz-gangster-rap duo's names....and Roland Dubbs was born. Crazy.
Roland's life is house music. When he isn't buying indecent amounts of vinyl and CD he is downloading stuff courtesy of you lovely people. He's a musician and he supports file sharing?! Big whup.
Roland Dubbs is on a jackin' musical adventure with the sole ambition to deliver the most dancefloor wobbling basslines for your aural pleasure! Roland has had recent succes on a number of music blogs, including Electric Zoo, Mnuvrs and NoisePorn.
Roland Dubbs is a resident at Thirsty Ear @ The Harley (Sheffield), and occasionally plays back-2-back sets with fellow house don JDevious. Little did you know, shit just got real.
Keep it fuckin' dusty! - RD.
