BACK AND 4TH
Hotflush / Various

Pressed on 180 Gram Vinyl in a gatefold sleeve. With dubstep's big push into the mainstream, stirring up all manner of hybrids, variants and mutations, it's worth remembering that some have been creating fresh twists on the current generation of global bass music from its very inception.
Paul Rose, aka Scuba, and his Hotflush label have, since 2003, had experimentation and genre-collision etched into the very structures of everything they do. Putting out key tunes by the core pioneers of dubstep, but also by true outliers like Mount Kimbie, Joy Orbison and Sepalcure, Hotflush has created a sense of absolute consistence in diversity: multiple sounds united by true craftsmanship and high-tech expression of complex emotion.
Joining the UK underground to the deep-rooted techno culture of Berlin, where Rose is now resident, the label is a vital nexus in the flow of musical information that is fuelling the current innovative climate. So next time you hear someone talking about “post-” this or “future-” that, consider that maybe the times are just catching up with Hotflush.
BACK AND 4TH features ten brand new tracks from bass music’s most innovative producers, as well as a collection of essentials from Hotflush’s recent catalogue. The compilation is presented in double-CD and digital download formats, as well as a triple 12” vinyl release.
