although ultimately a comedy act, the cuban brothers are simultaneously serious musicians who have played with prince, been on the road with james brown and supported fatboy slim, chuck berry and de la soul to name but a few. 2018 will see them perform with a 12-piece band and a rotating roll-call of special guests on board to help them turn 20, including the average white band’s hamish stuart and the jungle brothers’ baby bam. ‘la familia’, released 24th august via sunday best, features a brand new cubans track, ‘i hate hate’, alongside such classics by roy ayers, bill withers, erykah badu, a tribe called quest, children of zeus, d’angelo and more. the cuban brothers clearly have an impeccable taste in music.

scuba drops another four cuts as scb on hotflush recordings this december. paul rose first launched his scb moniker in 2010, going on to appear on labels like ostgut ton, aus music and nonplus until 2014. this year saw the pioneering british producer revisit his darker alias with a dystopian themed release on hotflush he now returns with four more twisted and ominous productions.

an innate facet of the human condition is the very personal way we choose to process our own fatality. faced with dealing with the feelings of anxiety, death and fear after nearly drowning whilst diving in the south atlantic in his youth, ricardo donoso chose to channel them into his creative process. the result was scuba death, a project that was fully realised on donoso’s widely acclaimed 2014 further debut, nitrogen narcosis. after spending time devoted to establishing his kathexis label as well as delivering a trilogy of albums under his given name for the denovali label, donoso returns to further with a second scuba death offering, the worm at the core.

london born paul rose’s career has been intrinsically linked to hotflush recordings, the label he set up in 2003. coming back full circle to his formative mid-90s days of following colin faver and jeff mills, rose’s fabric appearances have evolved over the years from bass music fridays to the house and techno of saturday nights. this 10” sampler, taken from the 90th instalment of the world’s leading house and techno mix series from london’s renowned fabric nightclub features two tracks from fabric90 scuba mix, both taken from scuba’s own label, hotflush.

scubas entry in the revered fabric mix series features four debut-making artists, three of whom, isaac reuben, glaskin, blursome, feature on the present sampler 12inch alongside the already-emerging talent of tallmen785. together they cover a rich gamut of style. tallmens gear-shifting opener a charge of the techno brigade replete with live drum fills leads into blursomes compact, broken, nocturnal outcry. isaac reuben then messes with structure and genre, bringing deep house tropes into a lofi, rough and raw world before glaskin blow the door wide open right at the very end to reveal their cavernous, ultra deep field. you’ll be hearing a lot from all of them on hotflush in the coming months, so for now let the music break the ice

to coincide with the full remix album’s unveiling on cd, the exquisite reworkings of all i think about is death and why you feel so low by techno heavyweights radio slave and function respectively, have been singled out for release on vinyl. the former bears all the hypnotic hallmarks of a radio slave classic: incrementally menacing percussive lines woven with the heart wrenching vocal chants of the original over an epic 12 minutes. at once understated and emphatic, the tenor is deepened in the extreme on an ambient atmos version. berghain resident, function, on the other hand treats claustrophobias flagship why you feel so low with a delicate touch: he retains the buoyant hook of the original, underlying it with a thunderous, reverberating bassline, handclaps for days, and a beat tailor-made for only the biggest and brightest sound systems.

great compilation with alex.do, locked groove, scuba & sei a

techno heavyweights audion and len faki step up to provide two outstanding reworks of scuba s pcp and black on black respectively.

scuba s musical biography has been a story of constant change. over the past eleven years, his music has zigzagged through bass, techno and house, at times dark and contemplative, at others bright and anthemic. a look at his discography bears out this creative restlessness: from the shadowy rhythms of a mutual antipathy and triangulation, through the soaring melodies of personality and the cardinal -adrenalin- ep. claustrophobia is more than just the next phase in this development—it s a culmination of everything that s come so far. as its name implies, the record is tense and inward-looking, but it s also rich and dynamic, nimbly moving through a panorama of moods and styles. rhythms expand and contract from one song to the next, textural passages give way to shimmering strands of melody, found sounds and field recordings breathe life into ambient sketches. the album is modern and understated throughout, but also touched with something unrestrained: the exhilarating energy of classic rave.

the first single from scubas forthcoming album claustrophobia. atom tm provides a heavy, heavy remix of a further album track, television, on the flip.

scubas phenix triptych reveals its final panel. a bite-size story in and of itself, and a fitting end-part to the greater sum, 3 feels like the latest acme of a diverse career. this is traditional beginning-middle-end story-telling: silence s call-and-response foretells of a blue funk ahead - funk in the figurative - as nineteen eighty transposes old chicago into an ad rem context. the disquiet continues on the other side, with plateaus exacting techno pulse underscoring astral synth work. tempo and temperature are pushed to an extent worthy of the resolution fade provides with its informal pace, acoustic disposition and celestial chimes

scuba death is ricardo donosos alter ego. with more of a focus on analog sound, percussion, sampling, and location recordings, there is an organic undercurrent on scuba death recordings that isnt as prevalent in his solo work.

rising talent david scuba teams up with the supernature duo dance spirit for a 3-track ep of hypnotic grooves that stay on the tech-heavy side throughout.

scuba continues his phenix series with a second installment entirely devoid of the euphoric hallmarks of the personality era but missing none of the familiar attitude. no trace of vocals, feel-good chords or retro kicks, no real concern for the hour or room, phenix 2 is instead teeming with mood and spirit.

paul roses scuba project has seen him make some of the most pertinent and exciting music of the past few years, and through his legendary hotflush imprint he continues to push innovative, exploratory new club music in every way he sees fit. this is a collection of tracks exploring his rich and diverse back catalogue, scuba enjoyed a remarkable 2013. now back with phenix 1, his first new material since 2012s acclaimed hardbody single, expect him to enjoy an equally successful year this time around.

following the world premiere of his new live show in london last weekend and with latest release >talk torque< still on heavy rotation, hotflush label boss scuba isnt wasting any time in returning with new single >hardbody<. premiered by jackmaster on bbc radio1 show earlier this month, >hardbody< has quickly become the subject of fraught anticipation.
pressing on translucent, dark blue coloured vinyl, smokey marbled.

having released his critically acclaimed third album �>personality�< earlier this year, scuba has announced news of a brand new single �>talk torque�<. the one-�sider �>talk torque�< will be released through hotflush as a limited edition red marbled vinyl and will coincide with the world premiere of scuba�s live show on november 3rd in london. not one to rest on his laurels, scuba has been busy this summer djing at countless european festivals including off-�sonar, sw4, hideout, primavera, closing bestival on the saturday and making his debut at ibiza. hotflush recordings has blossomed into a veritable juggernaut in underground electronic music, releasing everything from techno (sigha, george fitzgerald) to some of the most experimental and important music of the past few years by artists like joy orbison, untold, mount kimbie and sepalcure. having cemented his place at the cutting edge of electronic music with �>personality�<, scuba now turns his attention to the live scene. scuba�s debut live show promises to be nothing short of spectacular and is not to be missed.

following the release of his highly acclaimed debut album, on acid, earlier this year, berlin artist, recondite, steps in to provide two deep and dark remixes of scubas >the hope< for the next hotflush single.

having released his third album >personality< earlier this year to much critical acclaim, scuba is pleased to announce his new single ne1butu will be released on july 2nd through hotflush. ne1butu is scubas glorious take on a thunderous classic house track, complete with piano break and an infectious bubbling bassline – its perfect for the summers dancefloors. backed by a scb – scubas other alias – remix, he adds a minimal techno edge to the song. taken from >personality<, the album sweeps effortlessly across a wealth of genres within contemporary dance music, proving once again scubas place at the cutting edge of the electronic music scene.

the second catalog number of the young label sono vivo is from the artist falomir. in his music he reflects inspiration of different cultures and artists. energetic and colourful would be the attributes to describe the track >asere<. melodious – impulsive sounds meet in an interaction that brings good mood. percussion and the sound of xylophone make this track to an experience which reminds of the beginning of spring … or maybe beautiful summer days! apart of this, you find on the a-side a remixed version from daniel mehlhart of >asere<.

hotflush recordings presents the first new scuba single since 2010s landmark album, triangulation. since that release scuba has concentrated more squarely on deep, epic house and techno via the scb project, most notably with loss released earlier this year on aus music. that focus extends itself to the lead track of this release, adrenalin, which must be the most unashamedly dancefloor scuba track to date, while b-sides never and everywhere take the well-documented fascination with melody that pervaded previous scuba material to a new level.

incl marcel dettman remix !! the defining feature of bass music in 2008 has been the expansion of the dubstep sound across disparate genres. scubas debut long player, a mutual antipathy exemplified this phenomenon, mixing dubsteps bass rumble with the eccentricities of dub techno and electronica into a sprawling cinematic landscape.

surgeon takes the right track on the remix-highway: moving quite fast, but in a relaxed style. on the flip is substance sneaking through the fog of techno-ambient.

classic 2003 festplatten release by leo cubanero

slamming latin house anthem with mighty remixes !!

mr. cubanix brings it down laid back and smooth on hott steppa and breakthrough. nice bassline and rhodes combinations keep the overall sound quite loungey and upscale. it is on gosando however, that things get cookin with its harder tribal drums and oh so dark latin pianos. if you like quentin harris, jon cutler, the soulfuric sound, and jask, then this might be your speed.

funked up soulful piece of music includes 3 very nices remixes this is special music for special people

melodische latin-beats verleiten zum tanzen ebenso wie zum träumen von palmenstränden und weißem sand. „la trompeta“ von tj cubana glänzt mit latin-pianofeeling, brasilianischen beats und schmetternden bläsersätzen auf einem treibenden housegroove.

this track has been a live favourite for a while now and finally gets the single releases it comes with mixes by diesler (from the tru thoughts camp) berlins haaksman & haaksman and a back door re edit from uncle clemente

the third release from nachtfrequent brings us four new fresh tracks from leo cubanero. two of them – play and english mafia – were layed down in co-operation with patrick di stefano(generalelektrik). the first tune is a very clubby track sporting some eccentric dodgy sounds. minimal oppressive but easily triggerin your dancing feet at the same time. the following play plays slower but has however a very funky touch with mad pitched vocals and the jostling basslines. rigth here and anywhere else this track is a burner. funky fat sounds and vocals which seem to come out directly of the lunatic asylum. and finally english mafia which weaves in the garb of minimal house a very nice carpet with memorable elektroid sounds. fine pads - not one gram too much

ultra deep and lush goodie by king britt teaming up with vocalist tilomo for an inspiring and epic track flip for a straighter more funky deep house workout

auf seiner dritten festplatte präsentiert sich leo cubanero von allen seiten, für alle zeiten.. phreakhouse baby!! die cubanerisch pulsierenden beats und modulierenden sounds vereinigen sich zu vier tracks, die ihren namen alle ehre machen..

der londoner dubstep-pionier und hotflush-labelbetreiber scuba aka paul rose beweist seine einzigartigkeit mit einem 75-minŸtigen fabric-set aus 42(!) Ÿber- und nacheinander gelegten tracks. unterschiedliche kŸnstler wie pearson sound und patrick cowley, donato dozzy und midland treffen in einer dŸster-verfŸhrerischen atmosphŠre aufeinander, so dass man sich zwischen pumpendem lo-fi techno und subsonischen bŠssen im rave-kosmos verliert.
