KUBIKS', or Doug Ross to the non drum and bass world has emerged as a key artist in recent years. Spending most of his life based in Bristol he discovered his love for Drum & Bass after seeing Roni Size, Die & Krust DJing at Lakota in 1998. It wasn't long before he started producing and in 2002 had his debut 12" released on John B's label TANGENT. Soon after this KUBIKS teamed up with BCEE and launched RUBIK RECORDS. With a string of releases on his own label, KUBIKS met a new face to BRISTOL, Davide Carbone and soon discovered a very successful partnership. The pairing went on to release on a number of labels including 31 Records, Industry, Renegade and Defunked.
In 2005, Davide Carbone moved to London and the duos releases started to slow down. Should it be fate or perfect timing when one of the members of HOLD TIGHT (Lomax) moves to Bristol and a new team is formed. Both bringing skills the other didn't have to the table KUBIKS & LOMAX soon saw a run of releases that lasted until 2007 when they took 6 months out to write their DEBUT album 'SPEAK LIFE' which was release on German label PHUNKFICTION RECORDINGS. Kubiks & Lomax have managed to clock up over 30 releases in 3 years including such labels as V Recordings, C.I.A, Defunked, Nu Directions, BS1 & Spearhead.
Kubiks now resides in Chichester on the south coast of England where he has become a family man, plays golf and smokes a pipe on the weekends. With released lined up throughout 2009 KUBIKS is continuing to DJ both national and International sets.

matter of fact, i've got the two playing in sync right now on my computer to prove my suspicion.
if you like what you hear, then check out the rest of rubik records' soundcloud pages which includes two more mixes (though too bad the old rubikpodcast.com site disappeared with its 17 mixes, at last count). they have a few mix cds available for sale if you like what you hear and want to support them (or individual tracks from the usual online outlets, but in my old age i'm set in my way of only listening to mixes). also check out spearhead records & bcee (kubiks:rubik records::bcee:spearhead records).
some of the best & cleanest dnb/breaks you can find (though i'm a little disappointed in calculon's latest mix using God's name in vain in a voice-over).
