Stepping up for BBC Radio 1 in the latest Essential mix is Hotflush Recordings founder Scuba. Flipping your average set right on it’s head, Scuba begins the mix with the same approach to when he’s playing a headliner slot then eases up towards the back end as if the night is winding down and the sun is coming up. Scuba explains;

“This mix is a summation of the kind of sets I’ve most enjoyed playing recently. End of the night slots where I’ve got a lot of space to play around, from a peak time starting point to an almost after hours kind of finish.”

The mix is jam packed with new and exclusive material, many of which are courtesy of his Hotflush Records amigos including techno titans Alan Fitzpatrick and Paul Woolford. Unsurprisingly, there are also tracks and unheard remixes from his fourth full-length album ‘Claustrophobia’ (check it out HERE).

The mix showcases a unique balance between thumping kick drums and dance floor ambiance, providing a soundtrack for headphone listeners and party enthusiasts alike.
