José Manuel Alvarez, also known as Dubbyman, made his debut as a DJ in 1992, hidden under the name of José Vertice. Acid house, Funk, Drum&Bass and Hip Hop were just some of the ingredients of his firsts sets, backed up by his collective ?Dogs Connected?.
Latter incursions into dubbed House and Electrofunk sounds took him to visit most important clubs in Madrid like ?Deep? and ?Danzoo?, while maintaining his own club ?Freak?. By 2002, and thanks to his new facet as a producer he became Dubbyman, moves his residency from ?Freak? to Café Bar ?Las Descalzas? and expands his sessions across Madrid in clubs like ?Morpheus?, ?Ohm?, ?Taboo?, ?Deep?, ?Danzoo?,or ?Goldfield? and outside in places like ?Le Club? (Valencia), ?El Sol? (Salamanca), ?Telefunken?, ?House café?, ?Foxx? (La Coruña), La Casa De La Música (Badajoz).
In 2006 he finds the most highly recognition for his participation in Sonar festival 2006 making a powerful session mixing dub with black music. 2007 was a year of consolidation with his showcase in ?Observatori Festival? in Valencia and a great comeback to Sonar 2007 sharing turntables with the cream of the Dubstep UK scene (Kode 9, Oris Jay and Mary Anne Hobbs.
