THE BEAST FROM THE EAST?~@~Y as he is fondly called by friends, followers and fans alike, had an unassuming start in the golden years of the late 1980s in the bustling city of Kolkata, India. What stood out back in those days was the passion with which this power-house of a talent unleashed cutting-edge dance music from his console, technically perfect and mixing each track with surgical precision, scorching down heaving dance floors of yore.

Shubs burst onto the scene back in August of 2006 where, courtesy of Submerge, he got to open up for DJ San (Fektive Records) and has since gone on to rock dance floors serving up his refreshing slice of uplifting melodic trance, driving progressive house, Tech-House and full on 4/4 percussive Techno. A pioneer of the harder and darker sound of the EDM Spectrum and a veteran of progressive and melodic trance sounds, Shubs has warped clubs such as SQUEEZE in Mumbai, FUGA in Bangalore and the hallowed ZANZIBAR in Goa. During the summer of 2008, Shubs managed to play a closing set for the legendary Dj Tiesto at Metropolis Nightclub, opened for Randy Boyer & Paul van Dyk at Cyrus Waterfront, and shared the stage with the worlds number one DJ - Armin van Buuren in Cleveland. 2009 saw Shubs playing for Sunburn - Asia's biggest dance festival, a property owned by Nikhil Chinapa and PDM. He played on the Gatecrasher stage alongside Dj Nick Rafferty, Sied Van Riel and Brute Force (Dj Tuhin Mehta).
