HOTFLUSH PODCASTS

Label of the hour, Hotflush Recordings, has been supplying us with some damn fine material. Mount Kimbie, Scuba, Sigha, Untold, Joy Orbison, Pangaea - what these artists have in common is that their tunes are hard to categorize. The kind where the last 20 comments on youtube are kids arguing about what genre it is, agreeing on something like "new-rave-dub-hop-abilly". But ultimately, all of these artists have a sound that is symptomatic for the label itself. And that's what makes Hotflush so hot. Music that is hard to define, but obviously Hotflush.

Apart from all the sweet releases, they're bringing us a podcast every month from one of their artists. This month's podcast comes from San Fransisco's Jus Wan.

You can also pick up the podcasts directly from the Hotflush website. We're just making your life a little easier!

He has been makin waves for a while now in the progressive dubstep scene, releasing records on the dubstep trifektah of H labels, Hotflush, Hemlock & Hessle Audio. He's got a bunch of big shows coming up as well, including one @ WMF in Berlin on September 25th with Modeselektor and a slew of other huge DJs:

Hotflush Recordings

Hotflush Recordings has been getting some more recognition lately. Straight out of London, this label has brought forth some pretty innovative artists and some darn good music. Much of it has that muffled underground sound, which is awesome.

(From their Bio:)
"Hotflush was started in 2003 with the aim of giving a platform to music which doesn’t fit into a certain category. In a dance scene divided into genres and sub-genres the value of music is lost, and Hotflush seeks to bridge gaps between areas of the scene to stimulate the sharing of influences and ideas."

Hotflush claimed Scuba, Mount Kimbie, Sigha and DZ (who we talked about a while back) as some of their proteges over the years and has quite an exciting lineup of more talents for future releases. Don't forget to check out their mixtapes! Free stuff! Wooo!
