Catch me live

Edmonton drummer turned basshead. Acoustic drums meet festival bass music, built live with loops.

Nicky Dubs plays jungle, drum & bass, dubstep and house on a real drum kit, layering it live with a loop station until it hits like a festival bass set. He headlined InterSECT Festival (2021–2023), played Astral Harvest with several projects and as a solo act, opened for Dub FX, Benny Page and Ed Solo, and has shared stages with Ann Vriend and the Jungle Cakes crew.

Wiggle some air yourself

A beat pad and synth you can play right here in your browser, watched over by the Air Wiggler, a little robot that dances to whatever you play. 16 pads, seven kits (Soul MPC, 808 Trap, Jungle, Liquid DnB, Dubstep, House, Roller Disco), eight ready-made beats to jam over, and a metronome. Tap the pads or use your keyboard (1–4 · Q–R · A–F · Z–V), record your own loops into the 8 slots underneath (5–8 · T–I), or tap Rec kit and beatbox, clap or tap anything: every hit lands on its own pad. Right-click a pad to load your own sample.
