OFFICIAL BIO
Regarded upon his 2006 arrival as a promising beatmaker looming in the shadows of J Dilla, Madlib, waterfalls and Dabrye, Steven Ellison -- known as Flying Lotus -- nullified all comparisons only two years later with Los Angeles. On that album, his first of five for the Warp label, Ellison distilled a uniquely crisp, spasmodic, and heady sound with elements of hip-hop, avant-garde jazz, IDM, and dubstep. While the abovementioned producers fueled Ellison, he had also been excited as a youngster by the '90s West Coast rap classics that combined programming and live instrumentation. His sound continued to develop as he put his own twist on the approach, recording with a crop of jazz musicians including the indispensable likes of bassist Thundercat and strings master Miguel Atwood-Ferguson. This process began with the turbulent 2010 set Cosmogramma and peaked in terms of acclaim in 2014 with You're Dead!, which crashed the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 and spawned the Kendrick Lamar collaboration "Never Catch Me," a Grammy nominee for Best Dance Recording. Ellison devoted a few years to various forms of film work and the operation of his revered Brainfeeder label, and returned in 2019 with Flamagra, his second consecutive album to top Billboard's Dance/Electronic chart.

Hotflush is a record label launched by Paul Rose aka Scuba in 2003. Its early period was spent as a central part of London's Bass Music scene which exploded in the mid 2000s, although the label has always been difficult to pigeonhole musically and recent output has focused on Techno and House.

The legendary heavy breaks and beats label, rising from the ashes of what came before. Protest art, born to battle conformity and eradicate mediocrity.
The rebellion continues.....................

A movement based around a collective of artists from Southern, CT and surrounding areas.

Hailing from Boston, Alex Incyde first became involved in electronic music through his work as label manager of Scuba's Hotflush Recordings in London in 2007, where he began DJing at parties within the city's thriving dubstep scene. In 2008 he moved to New York City and became a resident of America's founding dubstep night, Dub War, alongside Dave Q, Joe Nice, and MC Juakali, where they brought dubstep legends such as Skream, Digital Mystikz, Loefah, and countless others to the US for the first time. Incyde developed a reputation for his tasteful explorations into bass music, incorporating influences from techno, dub, and hip hop. Focusing more energy on enhancing his sets, Incyde's productions were first met with support by Mary Anne Hobbs of BBC Radio 1 and Scuba. "Axis" was released on Hotflush's BACK AND 4TH compilation in April 2011, followed by the four-track "Telophase" EP on Brendon Moeller's Steadfast Records. Later that year, his rework of "Lost Highway" by Badawi (Raz Mesinai) was featured in Scuba's DJ-Kicks compilation on !K7. He spent the next ten years away from the electronic world, exploring & honing his sound on the island of Maui, and now lives outside Dallas, Texas, where he launched the imprint Incyde Sound in 2022 to release his bass-leaning musical experiments with full creative control.
