Triangulation

Scuba, A.K.A. Paul Rose, has been at the forefront of the dubstep scene since its birth. Having founded the innovative & influential Hot Flush Recordings label in 2003, he has continually brought colour + depth to an advancing genre, expanding its sonic structure and increasing its influence on the wider electronic scene.

Through Scuba plus seminal work by central figures, including: Distance; Vex'd; and more recently Mount Kimbie & Joy Orbison, Hot Flush remains crucial to the immediate moment and the developing future of the most exciting aspects of electronic music.

The collision of dubstep & techno has produced startling music from a wide range of producers in the last few years, none more than Scuba, and that has been well documented. But 'Triangulation' moves past the dubstep / techno axis and into different territory...

Working at multiple tempos, the album covers an area ranging from house to experimental drum 'n' bass, while retaining the Scuba sound that has become so distinctive. "You Got Me" & "So You Think You're Special", released as an advance 12", reflect the range of the album with the huge bass + frenetic energy of the former contrasting with the melancholic atmospheres & melodies of the latter. The listless beauty of "Before"; the aggressively percussive "Minerals"; and the hyperactive electro of "On Deck", provide further stylistic variation. However, this is not simply a collection of tracks - for the best sonic results this recording should be listened to in full.
