Dwight G. and J-Biggs, together known as Stank-Dubz, started as hip hop DJs in Washington, D.C. in 1998. But after hearing the East Coast Boogiemen in 1999 at the Cage in downtown D.C. these two talented musicians started changing their tune and buying up those 4/4 beat records all house heads crave. Growing up together in Virginia Beach, VA, Jay and Dwight first met in their high school band class as tuba players. Quickly becoming the best of friends, their close friendship is ever present in their sets as the two work off one another’s tracks and flow. After joining forces, the two moved to New York City in 2000 and started throwing their own parties under the name GRUV at various lounges such as Casa Mexicana, Café Novecento, Carnival, Naked Lunch, Leopard Lounge and Tribe. They have also had guest spots at a number of other venues, including Plant Bar, Quernica, M Bar, Abaya, Laila Lounge, Galapagos, Club Five, Cafe Deville, Sullivan Room, and various other venues. Now moving into the production realm, the two are quickly making their name in house music with their first productions being signed to Alphabet, Shak Digital, and Kinjo Records, as well as getting a track licensed to Om Records. Be on the lookout for Stank-dubz in the near future.
