For over a decade, Shub (formerly known as DJ Shub) has been at the forefront of a movement that reshaped the landscape of Indigenous electronic music. A trailblazer who coined the powwow-step genre and a former member of the JUNO-winning A Tribe Called Red, Shub has spent years blending the ancient rhythms of powwow music with the pulse of modern beats, scratching, and bass-heavy production. With a new name and vision, Shub is stepping beyond the DJ booth—emerging as a composer, storyteller, and artist dedicated to expanding the read of Indigenous music.
With his upcoming album Heritage, he is making a statement—not just about where he’s been, but about where Indigenous music is headed. While his signature sound was built around the 140-BPM pulse of dubstep, Heritage expands his sonic palette, weaving in hip-hop, ‘90s-era IDM, dub-infused trip-hop, and even the heavy bass of drill.
