The White Lamp
Ride With You
HFT031

Hotflush's first release of 2014 introduces a handful of new faces to label. The single, a moody house slow-burner titled "Ride With You," comes from UK duo The White Lamp, a collaboration between stalwart London producer Darren Emerson and vocalist Peter Josef. 

In addition to an extended dub by Emerson, the record also features remixes by the militantly mysterious Berlin trio ItaloJohnson and Fachwerk label boss Mike Dehnert, who inject the original with a shock of jacking minimalism. 

Italojohnson's vinyl-only version uses a gummy bassline and elastic percussion to craft a tightly-wound tool, while Dehnert strips the track  of its dense atmospherics and supplies crisp, herky-jerky drum programming. 


Tracklist: 
1. Ride With You (Original Mix)
2. Ride With You (ItaloJohnson Remix) Vinyl Exclusive
3. Ride With You (Mike Dehnert Remix)
4. Ride With You  (Darren Emerson’s Dub Exravaganza)


Release date: January 27th 2014

The White Lamp - Ride With You (HFT031 Preview)

Recondite
Caldera
HFT035

Recondite marks his return to Hotflush with the epic, potentially summer-defining 'Caldera' and a sequel to his 2012 hit 'DRGN'. The Bavarian artist has undergone a dazzling rise since that time, and one which is reflected in the increasing opulence of his music.

'Caldera', with its dramatic arpeggios and crescendos, is unabashed big-field decadence. Bearing all the hallmarks on which he's made his name - space, subtlety, build, attention to timbre - over the course of 9 minutes it raises the temperature to white heat. 'DRGN 2' picks up exactly where its 2012 namesake left off; that is, with an arching melody played out over droning tones of insidious intent. Dark, imposing and elegant - this is Recondite at his most wicked.

Available on Beatport and on 12" from September 1st 2014

Shall Ocin
The Cliff / The Mist 
HFT044
Single / 12“, Digital

Next up to add his sounds to the ever impressive Hotflush cannon is Argentina’s Shall Ocin. He serves up The Cliff/The Mist, a two track EP that showcases his knack for infectious groove in all its glory.
The man born Nicolas Abalos has released music under a number of aliases over the last decade plus, but it is as Shall Ocin that he has had most success. Putting out music on labels like Culprit and Ellum Audio, he has established himself amongst contemporary tastemakers and here cements his reputation with a great debut on Hotflush.
Opening the account is the excellent ’The Cliff,’ a steely main room house track with grinding synths that roam and whir about above weighty bass. It’s a physical, arresting track that brims and bristles with apocalyptic fervour and will truly work crowds into a lather as it continues to build. ‘The Mist’ is much more in your face, with malfunctioning machines smeared about above metal drums. It’s a real writhing monster that twists and turns with great filter work making for the most dramatic of atmospheres.
This texturally rich, maximalist EP makes a fine new singing for the UK label and is another great entry into Ocin’s increasingly essential discography.

Recondite
Phalanx
HFT046
Single / 12“, Digital

Recondite returns to Hotflush with two unique techno narratives forged in his inimitable style. Since 2014’s smash, ‘Caldera’, the prolific producer has released two studio albums, as well as a string of notable EPs for the likes of Innervisions, Dystopian and Life & Death.

At once subtle and grand, ‘Phalanx / Warg’ sees Recondite exploring the full range of his distinctive voice. Deep, sinewy techno set with a genuine sense of intrigue, both cuts flood the dance floor with an unsettling warmth.

Daniela Caldellas is a producer and DJ from Brazil. Having released music in many styles and guises over the years, Burn The Past, her debut offering as Terr, sees her return to her electro and techno roots.

This three track EP on Hotflush Recordings showcases Caldellas' extensive capabilities as a producer, with a variation of styles present throughout. From the vocal refrains of 'Burn The Past’ via ‘Metropolis’s electro flirtation to the stadium- sized 'May Day', Caldellas flexes a sure-footed range that hints at what’s to come. Burn The Past will be released on both vinyl and digital in April this year.

Scuba - fabric 90 (October 21st)

Pre-order here --> www.fabriclondon.com/store/catalog/product/view/id/1084/s/fabric-90/category/8/

Although the existence of fabric hangs in the balance, the Farringdon club’s legacy will always live on through its celebrated mix series. Not many have been running—let alone remained as relevant—as long as this one, and there can be few better to carry on the baton than Scuba: he was the last artist to play at the club on August 6th 2016, and will donate all proceeds from the mix to the #savefabric fundraising campaign that plans to fight the closure.
 
London born Paul Rose’s career has been intrinsically linked to Hotflush Recordings, the label he set up in 2003. Its first release was also his first, under the Spectr alias with a debut as Scuba coming in 2005. In the subsequent years, Hotflush has played a pivotal role in the evolution of underground dance music, as has Rose himself, not only as an A&R and producer (of no fewer than four LPs and tens of EPs), but also with five years of Sub:stance at Berghain. Those parties famously introduced a bass-heavy outlook to a seminal techno club, and established a singular voice as other less cerebral interpretations of that sound took hold around the world. Coming back full circle to his formative mid-90s days of following Colin Faver and Jeff Mills, Rose’s fabric appearances evolved from bass music Fridays to the house and techno of Saturday nights.
 
“fabric has been a really important venue for me as a clubber and also as a DJ. The mix was put together over the course of a couple of weeks in my studio in London. At this point, I don't think the method is really important to how a DJ mix is constructed: if it sounds good then that's all that matters. There's a variety of old stuff, recent releases and brand new music, and also a mix of established producers all the way through to people that no-one will have heard of because they've never released anything.” - Scuba.
 
Those debut-making artists—Isaac Reuben, Glaskin, Blursome and DXC—will feature on both a VA sampler on Hotflush (October 14th) as well a one-off vinyl 10” including a brand new Scuba track (November 18th), and they knit in perfectly here with music from across a wide spectrum. Taking a no-nonsense approach, this is a visceral and scuffed-up, rugged and to-the-point selection. What’s more, Rose’s ability here to select, sequence and stitch together a whopping 42 tracks over 75 minutes is remarkable. Artists as diverse as Pearson Sound and Patrick Cowley, Donato Dozzy and Midland all get called upon, but nothing ever gets in the way of a dark, seductive atmosphere. It means that in amongst the bumping lo-fi techno and cavernous bass sounds, there is a palpable sense of being lost in the rave. Fog billows out, distant sirens go off and strobes flash. The pressure never releases. fabric 90, then, leaves you delightfully disorientated in the heart of Room 1, and you’ll never want to leave.

Next up on Hotflush is the debut EP by Glaskin, aka brothers Jonathan and Ferdinand Bockelmann. Hailing from Munich, their origins can be traced to the same fertile scene that gave rise to Skee Mask, the Zenker Brothers and recent Hotflush acquisition, PYUR. They first appeared with a pivotal track on Scuba’s acclaimed Fabric 90 mix last year, and the Hotflush label boss revives his Abucs alias to chime in here with a powerful 135 bpm, broken-beat remix that recalls his Triangulation-era output.

The EP builds a fierce line of tension across 4 tracks, exploring new takes on percussive techno with a dub palette. ‘Groundwork’ heads straight to the main room whilst ‘Structure’ flaunts a dizzying groove.

Vast concrete spaces are navigated by sparse, hard-hitting drums on title track ‘Debris Disk’. For the remix, Scuba delves deeper into the dub aesthetic, restructuring the sounds to create his own narrative.

Release date: May 26th 2017

Originally released on limited vinyl press via Berlin label Rhythm Nation last October, Ron Blanco's 'I Wait' and the accompanying Mall Grab remix are too essential to be confined to the Discogs pages. 

Fully licensed here by Hotflush alongside brand new cut 'Loose Grip', I Wait sees the shadowy Irish producer flex his crunchy, textured house muscles to gripping effect. Red-hot Australian talent Mall Grab summons all his signature flair for the remix which bangs and emotes in equal measure

Under his SCB moniker, Scuba released 'Caibu', a twelve track LP of cerebral techno, darkened disco and broken beats on Hotflush in April 2018. It's an album that draws strength from introspection, merging subdued hypnotism, syncopated basslines and visceral ambience to find its centre. The first in a series of remixes to emerge of tracks from the album will be two contrasting interpretations of 'Extinct' by ANNA and Ireen Amnes, due out on the 29th of June.

Hotflush Recordings present 'Wanderlust / Chimes' a collaborative EP from Lawrence Hart and Casually Here due 7th September. Both multi-instrumentalists based in London, the duo unite for a two-track package of glistening, melodic house. 

Lawrence Hart (aka Duncan Tootill) is a classically trained musician working with a broad spectrum of styles, who, under his solo moniker produces ambient-leaning house and electronica. He is one third of the Little Club act and a long-term collaborator of George Fitzgerald. Casually Here (aka Nic Nell) is an experimental composer and the label boss of Algebra Records, who’s debut album ‘Kept’ was released in 2015. 

‘Wanderlust’ is an atmospheric trip through glitching melodies and immersive harmonics replete with minute details. ‘Chimes’ opens with a serene soundscape, evolving into a chugging dose of sun-drenched house led by trippy vocals and an animated bassline.

Following up his recently-released remixes of Scuba's single 'The Hope' on Hotflush, Plangent Records boss Recondite returns to the label, this time with a solo 12" titled DRGN / Wist 365. Recalling some of the moodiest moments from 'On Acid', his recent LP devoted to the sounds of the 303, this debut shows Recondite stay true to his somber and tension-inducing roots.

'DRGN', the sonic equivalent to traversing a bleak end-of-times landscape, is a journey replete with a relentless, melodic sub-bass and vibrating synth; on the flip Recondite gives the 9-minute long 'Wist 365' a drum workout, resulting in a progressive, menacing groove, awash with wind chimes and 808 claps.
Release date: October 1st 2012

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.
