SCUBA (Hotflush Recordings) Paul Rose, better known to the world as dance maverick Scuba – and his Hotflush imprint have since helped shape the UK’s bass-heavy landscape, starting with early dubstep and gradually teasing its dark, bass-heavy sonics into funky, new-school garage, jacking house and cavernous techno. They are the underground tastemakers behind era-defining club smashes like Joy Orbison’s dubstep/house crossover Hyph Myngo and last summer’s Untitled and ubiquitous piano house banger by Paul Woolford. And they launched the careers of innovators as diverse as Mount Kimbie, George FitzGerald, Boxcutter and Sepalcure. As a DJ and producer, meanwhile, Rose’s personal achievements have seen him join the ranks of UK electronic luminaries. He has released three artist albums, spun a mix for the esteemed DJ Kicks series, run a night at Berghain, and most recently, unleashed a next-level live show that won a DJ Mag Best Live Act award in 2013. And now he’s heading to Hong Kong to make his debut here, playing for small&TALL at Volar on Thursday 5th September. You’d better book Friday off because this is one not to miss!
