Bassweight Recordings & MAWSA are Very Proud to Present: Scuba [HOTFLUSH/UK]

Featuring: HOTFLUSH | NINJA TUNE | SOUL JAZZ | BREAKBEAT SCIENCE | OFFSHORE | NAKED LUNCH |

Scuba is the production and DJ alias of Paul Rose, curator of Hotflush Recordings, one of the original dubstep labels which released some of the most important tracks of the genre’s formative period and continues to be a source of constant originality to date. Originally from London, Scuba relocated to Berlin in 2007, a move which (according to some) influenced his critically acclaimed debut album, A Mutual Antipathy (2008). The stylistic synergy of the album cemented his position as one of the most forward-thinking dubstep producers. The project was subsequently completed with a series of remixes by Surgeon, Substance, Jamie Vex’d, Martyn, Marcel Dettmann and the artist himself under his house/technocentred SCB guise. His second album, Triangulation, is slated for release on Hotflush in March 2010. More recently he has been busy remixing artists including Fever Ray and Red Snapper, releasing fresh material including the highly-acclaimed Aesaunic EP on Hotflush and Speak/Negative on Naked Lunch. He has also developed the SCB project with a seminal mix for the MNML SSGS blog and a first proper 12”. In addition to label and production duties, he also runs the massively successful SUB:STANCE night at Berlin's techno Mecca, Berghain, the sound of which he committed to plastic in a DJ mix released on Ostgut Ton in January 2010. From playing a part in the formative years of the sound on the pirate airwaves in London, to working dancefloors across the globe, to a swathe of excellent releases on Hotflush and the high profile Soul Jazz imprint, Scuba brings his own unique musicality to the dubstep sound. Always fresh and innovative, Scuba's recent output is at once melodic and musical and devastatingly heavy. The Hotflush label has been a creative incubator for some of the most original and foward-thinking producers in dubstep including the likes of Distance, Joy orbison, Mount kimbie, Pangea, Loefah, Toasty, Slaughter Mob, Vaccine, Gravious, Marlow, Boxcutter and Jazzsteppa. Hotflush along with Paul Rose's other imprints - Abucs, Scuba and HF2 - can always be relied on to push the dubstep sound in new and exciting directions. With his new full length artist album "Triangulation", topping charts all over the world, and already being hailed as a masterwork - Scuba's record bag will be bursting with exclusive dubs of uncompromising calibre.
