Time to meet your resident beatdropper again! Often seen at Palate Palette, Awangku Irawan aka Tubby has been violating dancefloors with his wobbling dubstep basslines and with fellow DJs Reza and MH under the guise of club night, Bud Culture. JUICE finds out why this slim dude has such an inappropriate name.

My (DJ) alter ego is…
Tubby. I was called with that name since I had a 2-week nameless period when I was born. It’s fun to see the confuse look on most people when they see that I’m not actually tubby at all.

I play….
Dubstep, be it hard or soft.

My nights are called…
Bud Culture. Well, actually the crew is called Bud Culture. We’re not very creative with titles so we just thought of calling our night with our name because it’s pretty much “us” all night.

My music makes you want to…
Rock to the beat and move your skanking feet!

You should come to my nights because…
It’s something that everyone should be a part of while it’s still growing so that they will understand where we came from.

When I am on the decks you can expect…
A lot of energy from the music I play. Power, vibes, chest shaking bass and face slappin’ snares with a dark twist of evil and happiness included.

My club anthem of choice is…
Walsh & Benton – ‘The Last Crumb’.

My down time song of choice is…
Whitest Boy Alive – ‘Golden Cage’.
