Age can be a wonderfully cruel thing. At 19, DJ RuffDub is 2 years too young to play in Dubai’s clubs and bars, but he’s more than old enough – and talented enough - to have already made a name for him in the super competitive Bollywood scene. A versatile DJ able to turn from deep and future house to Trap, Dubstep, 80s and 90s classics and Bollywood, his first taste of the big time was playing a private party for the Middle East’s biggest fashion retailer Splash!, with guests Sunny Leone and Sarah Loren seen nodding their heads to his beats. That set was quickly followed by another private booking in Dubai where he played alongside Bollywood royalty Bombay Rockers. Not yet 20, but already a DJ for a quarter of his life having started his dance music love affair in 2012, RuffDub hails from Bangalore and calls Dubai home, where – when he turns the club ready age of 21 – he has a number of residencies already lined up.
