Hailing from Essex, QUBIKS’s sound is a kaleidoscopic post-house clash of loops and glitchy percussive beats, overlaid with lush synths and subtle melodies. QUBIK first started creating electronic music in the late nineties with collaborations with Matt O’Brien and Alien. Solo tracks followed with several vinyl releases via Off Key Records.

Hello and thank you for dropping by.

Thank you very much to everyone who takes the time to listen, like and share my noises. I am extremely grateful. My apologies if I take a little while to respond to those that leave nice comments.

I like listening to music, making simple, tunes when I have time, and generally faffing about in an inefficient manner. Hopefully you might like something on offer here. 

I use a Hinkler Cigar Box guitar (about $30 from Aldi, great fun), a Flying V ukulele, a couple of old keyboards, other bits and bobs, and a Yamaha tenor saxophone.

I like to create abstract sound collages/jams and also enjoy engineering visuals (to go with the audio) 



My general methodology?
I think its good to be transparent and talk about how sounds are made
I'm all good not knowing quite where I'm going
I'm also happy ending up miles from where I started
I work in the box (but i do love outboard gear)
I'm a big fan of automation and realtime midi control of all params
I make liberal creative use of eq, reverb, delay, compression, saturation, distortion, pitch shifting and granular synthesis.

I'm kind of ok with some imperfections and a bit of grit in the sounds (although i try to avoid digital distortion)

When folk looked at the gear that Daft Punk used to make their first album they were pretty shocked. It really showed that its about what you do with a thing and not about what things you have.

Instrumentalist, Composer and 
Producer for Ded Person

ZARINE (Dj Zarine) is one of the drum & bass DJs and producers whose work has brought considerable popularity to this style.
Starting his career in 97, he started promoting the Jump Up style in Russia. This always positive and open person still carries the culture of broken rhythms to the masses.

He received a classical music education. He studied conducting. He also plays guitar (played death metal, hardcore, techno death, was a session guitarist.) Sound engineer, worked with many well-known musicians, both foreign (Henry Rollins Band, Young Gods, Braut schlägt im Auge), and Russian, such as: the King and the Jester, Bricks, Torba-na-Kruche, Nom, TV, Calibri, Two Planes, Brigade row, Spitfire, and others.

His creative pseudonym, the female name ZARINE, owes his love for decadence, and the eponymous name of one of his projects-ZARINE (sarin) with the crossed-out letter " E " at the end. In 1996, after playing his first ever set at the CLEO club, he decided to keep the name.

The first single, "DnB Wize", was recorded in 1999 and released as a compilation album on a no-longer-existing foreign label. This was followed by releases - "Drunk n Bass" and "Art Core", "Eazy Drums" - released on the now-defunct KDK records 

Later there were releases on "Dj Parade", "World of the Drum n bass" - Dj SS took the single "GO ON" recorded together with Liza K. Audio design of the magazine "SPB. RU". Release of the album "Leading the rats". Working with Goldie, Aphrodite.

To date, singles have been released on Italian, French, German, and English labels.

EP "Blind fury / Water party", "Ghost of the Rock n roll", "Atmos robotics", " May Be Vibes? (feat. PropheC)". Remixes of DnB monsters, Future Cut, Konflict, Posij, Ray Keith, Huge, Gridlock, Keaton, as well as Fugees, Eminem

Today, ZARINE is the owner of the "HS Recordings" label. He is a resident of the English radio resource MIXCLOUD, and enjoys the support of the Russian radio Record.
