Biography

1) Scuba (Paul Rose) is the founder of the influential and consistently high quality Hotflush Recordings. 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 forward-thinking producers in dubstep including the likes of Distance, Joy Orbison, Mount Kimbie, Pangaea, 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 latest full-length 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 caliber.

    i don't see why should one stop 'whining' if he provides viable arguments for his standpoint; it's up to you to question them, rather than discourage us for having an opinion (and i'm pretty certain that 5 years from now, no one is going to regard 'personality' as a 'pure classic'). paul is atm definitely one of the top djs imo, but he needs to alter his approach to producing just a little (see below). and i'm not even asking for 'pretentious'/'intelligent' techno or whatever someone might call it; after all, scuba was 'raised' on some other grounds. for example, just take a look at locked groove's material on hotflush, which sounds relatively simple, but has been spot-on so far. although, if that airplane track from boiler room last night is scuba's unreleased stuff (and it really sounds like him), i'm ready to take back some of the things i said earlier.

    i can't say scuba is one of the most overrated edm artist atm, because i really like him and recognize his potential (tbh, tracks aren't that bad qualitywise), but his output in 2012 is massively underwhelming in comparison to other hotflush artists, for starters. his recent music sounds borderline cheesy and seems like it's made for 'special' moments of some big techno events i. e. it almost has zero 'home listening' value, which is essential for me. that's simply because his production completely lacks thoughtfulness and it's like he's only doing it for fun. he once said that his current style is part of getting rid of those fans who keep whining about him turning his back on dubstep. i really don't know where's he going with this, but i think it would be time to stop fucking around and start making some more serious and insightful techno soon.

    I like that he's changing up his style from album to album, but I think he does garage and dubstep better than house and techno (or at least so far). It would be cool to see him go for more of a mix between the two styles on his next album, like his awesome DJ Kicks mix.

    he may only do techno/house now, but he's one of the most important ukg/dubstep heads as well. his early shit was pure step
