IT’S been more than a decade since we first came across the sound of East End Dubs.
As an artist he is imbued with the same urban grit, late night menace and subtle sense of mischief as the East London streets from which he takes his name.
There is nothing tech house by numbers about his music, something all too common within the genre these days so his vibe is a welcome relief.
His imprint Eastenderz drops its 53rd release today with the amazing Dimmish offering a cool summery groove as we look forward to a great season ahead.
Alongside that, East End Dubs is touring the US and the UK festival circuit this summer with a stop off at Newcastle’s biggest gathering, LooseFest taking place on August 5th and 6th. He will be perfuming at LooseFest alongside some of the biggest DJs around including Franky Wah, Alan Fitzpatrick, Hot Since 82, Kettama, Jax Jones, Sigala and many more, all lined up across five spectacular arenas.
East End Dubs has compiled a playlist for us featuring ten of his current hottest tracks you can expect to hear in his sets. Listen to the music and read what he had to say about it below.
Roy of the Ravers – EMOTINIUM
How I like to start my day: 11 minutes and 50 seconds of joy. I heard it in my friend’s car and picked up the record from Phonica the week after. I’ve never played it in a club, and maybe never will… but it’s on my top 10 playlist.
East End Dubs – Sing
I love jazz. You can hear those jazz samples in my tracks. I love how complex and smooth they are. This track is a peak-time tool for me. The crowd loves it, and it brings smiles to everyone’s faces.
Julian Fijma – Devious Dog
Julian has been the producer of the year for me. He has been creating some incredible grooves. When he sent me Devious Dog, I fell in love with it and played it at Space – Miami. I then sent him a message at 7am and signed it for Belief.
Jamback – At The House
It hasn’t left my bag since Jake sent me this record. It’s huge! Everyone loves it. I played it at Warehouse Project, and the reaction was incredible. Toot Toot – Beep Beep…

Da Rebels – House Nation Under A Groove
I got this record from a friend of mine 10 years ago. It didn’t sound that special when I heard it back then, but recently I pulled it out to play at Sunwaves and fell in love with it again. I also made my little edit.
East End Dubs – Goodies
I guess many know this track now! After “Bossy” I made this little edit to play out, and it became an instant dancefloor classic. M1 Organs and the beautiful voice of Ciara create the ultimate magic.
Priku – Western
Adrian (Priku) has been with us since the early days of Eastenderz. He is known for his hypnotic house style. This track is definitely one of my favorites from him. When I want to take things down, this is my go-to track.
B.Love – Cool & Sexy
I don’t know what it is about this track—sexy vocoder vocals, cool pads, and groovy drums—I just love it. It’s a real crowd pleaser and gets a huge reaction every time I play it.
EEE010 – FEVER
Well, who doesn’t like edits? I certainly love them. Here is another golden edit. Rolling drums, groovy bass, and the incredible voice of Peggy.
Terrence Parker – Somethin’ Here
One of those timeless classics that will never leave the bag or USB. This track brings me happiness. That beautiful funky guitar riff makes everyone dance.
