Miami invades Houston

On Saturday, August 28th, I will play in Houston, Texas at the infamous Gritsy party. Also coming from Miami are Juan Basshead and Jumanji. I am really excited to play out of state and even more excited to play in their sound system, which is an intimidating wall of 15 dual sub cabinets, which comes to 30 18″ subs? Look at the picture below and do the math yourself!

Scuba at Down

admin — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 02:09:43 +0000

About 5 years ago I heard a mix called “Paul Rose’s Dubstep Breaks”. At that time I was listening strictly to DNB and IDM and the word “dubstep” hadn’t made it’s way to people’s lips yet. This was the first I’d hear of dubstep, and my interest was sparked, launching an all out investigation into this new world.

Shortly after Paul Rose became known as Scuba and rose in popularity, parallel to the dubstep phenomenon. His label, Hot Flush Recordings, is one of the cornerstones of the house of dubstep, focusing on the deeper, more lush sides of the spectrum.

Along with DJ’s: Ashworth, Somejerk, Gray Ghost, Munkz , Claro, Gooddroid.

Scuba will be going on at a decent time for all our Monday morning workers!

No cover till 11, $5 after. DOLLAR RED STRIPES TILL 11! Food and giveaways. And of course, DEEP bass.

Here’s a little info about Scuba:

Scuba is the production and DJ alias of Paul Rose, the curator of one of the original dubstep labels, Hotflush Recordings, which released some of the most important tracks of the genre’s formative period and has grown into a leading player in the wider world of electronic music.

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 SCB guise.

His second album, Triangulation, was released on Hotflush in March 2010 to universal plaudits, with many reviewers immediately tipping it as a potential album of the year. An amalgamation of disparate styles, from house to experimental drum n bass, the album has been noted as a landmark in the genre-blurring trend of contemporary dance music.

Between album sessions he has been busy remixing artists including Booka Shade, Fever Ray and Will Saul, and developing the SCB project which focuses squarely on house and techno. In addition to A&R and production duties, he also runs the massively successful SUB:STANCE night at the legendary Berlin club Berghain, the sound of which he
committed to plastic in a DJ mix released on Ostgut Ton in January 2010.

Reso this Saturday at White Room, Miami

admin — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 14:43:13 +0000

A few years ago while shopping for tunes on Beatport for an upcoming gig I stumbled across “Mike Lennon – Brass Eye (Reso Remix)”, a heavy but upbeat dubstep tune that sounded nothing like anything I’d heard at that time. Immediately I got my hands on anything and everything that had Reso’s name on it and his sound became a staple in my sonic arsenal. Over the years his sound has grown and grown; he’s evolved into one of the most unique producers in the game and is a beast behind the decks.

Don’t believe me? This Saturday is your chance to find out. He’ll be playing at the White Room in Miami and I am fortunate enough to be on the bill as well.

I wouldn’t have the first fucking idea as to what to do with most of this but it’s pretty cool to see what’s going on behind the mask.
