The DJ, who was sentenced to four years in prison after he was caught at Dubai International Airport with a small amount of cannabis, was hoping to be released after it was revealed his name was on a list of possible pardons to be dealt with during Ramadan.
Pardons during the holy month are granted on humanitarian reasons.
Grooverider released from prison
Radio 1 DJ Grooverider has been released from prison in Dubai after serving 10 months for possessing drugs.
The DJ, whose real name is Raymond Bingham, was in the middle of a four-year sentence.
But he has been let out early after being pardoned by the Dubai Royal Family. He has flown back to the UK to spend time with family and friends.
The DJ was originally arrested on 23 November 2007 after being caught with 2.16 grams of cannabis at the airport.
At the time Bingham said the drugs were in the pocket of a pair of trousers and he had forgotten about them. He was handed a four year sentence in February.
Grooverider co-presented a weekend drum & bass show on the station.
