Wub, aka Matt Young, first started listening to dance music during his formulative college years. Upon moving to Bournemouth in 2000 for University, he got heavily involved with the clubbing side of things, purchasing his first decks in 2003 and beginning to play the trance/hard house sound that was prevalent at nights such as Slinky, Oblivion and Trilogy.
The relentless synth riffs, snare drum rolls and screeching female vocals eventually began to get tiresome, and a chance listen to the Stanton Warriors seminal Stanton Sessions mix album made Wub realise there was more to life outside of 147bpm 4/4.
Wub slowly began to get into breaks, through nights at the Consortium Club in Bournemouth, as well
as spinning at smaller nights such as 5ive at the Fruit Bar. In late 2003 he became resident at the now defunct Trancendance
nights in Windsor, spinning an eclectic mix of progressive, techno and breaks during highly praised warm up sets.
A move away from the coast brought him more into the London club scene, and a residency at the legendary Sunday afternoon party Norq! cemented his position as one of the rising stars of breakbeat. More recently, Wub has travelled further afield, snaring gigs abroad in events such as Breakage in Cape Town, and Nucleus in New York.
His style is defined by sets loaded with chunky drums, funky melodies and filthy basslines, all stitched together with an energetic mixing style.
