Drum 'n' bass star Grooverider was sentenced to four years in jail for bringing a little more than two grams of marijuana into Dubai as he arrived at the emirate's airport for a gig in the city Nov. 23. The BBC Radio 1 DJ has two weeks to appeal."This is the minimum that you get by law but we will do our best, especially since he confessed and has cooperated with the authorities," defence lawyer Mohammed Suweidi told Reuters.
High-profile music producer Dallas Austin (Michael Jackson, Madonna) got the same sentence but received a pardon in 2006 with the help of one of Grooverider's lawyers, so there is hope for the spinner.
