Today a preeminent figure in UK underground music with a reputation extending well beyond his city, Birmingham-based DJ and record producer Felix Dubs has carved a niche for himself as one of the scene's most indisputably emotive and eclectic beat-makers.

Stitching together rich tapestries using everything from murky synths to jazz-inspired brass excerpts, he counts an ever-expanding list of rap royalty in his circle, with local legend Jaykae, viral 'trap metal' star Scarlxrd and even grime pioneer Wiley among those to have sought out his immersive signature sound as the foundation for their tracks.

As a theatre composer, Felix has worked with prestigious institutions including the National Theatre, Birmingham REP, and Edinburgh Fringe Festival, creating original music for productions such as 'East is East' and 'Community', blending emotion, texture and rhythm to tell stories through sound.

First emerging a little under a decade ago, the Indian-British talent has since made welcome forays into disparate subgenres including lo-fi hip-hop, trap and UK funky, juggling these innovations with his better-known expeditions in grime and dubstep.

Now at the helm of his very own label, Red Lagoon, he's also earned his stripes as a music curator, securing sought-after endorsements of the brand's first releases from the likes of Mixmag, Complex and Mixtape Madness as well as prestigious airplay on Radio 1, 1Xtra and the BBC Asian Network among other stations.
