"I fell long, into a time beyond years
hidden, in Earth's deepest space
in a silver hall of friendly faces
they led me to the roots of a giant tree
those are your own, they said
and young fruits like newborn planets
waited for me in this mirrored milky way
lastly I took one and tasted
the seasoned body of the unbinding promise
that I've made before I was born." PYUR

Hotflush are proud to introduce an exciting young artist, PYUR, along with her singular debut LP Epoch Sinus. Despite her relative newness, PYUR meets the world with fully formed and unique signatures in both visual and sonic work, revealing a deep artistry that transcends medium.

Growing up in Munich, in and amongst the same fecund scene that spawned artists like the Zenker Brothers and Skee Mask, PYUR cut her teeth from a young age as a guitarist and singer before becoming spellbound by the electronic world’s endless scope for sound design. Endowed with innately strong synaesthesia and reared in a shamanic household, she tells how music “played the biggest role in my growth. It alone had the purpose to help me dissolve boundaries, discover the beauty of life’s mechanisms, create freely. It talked. Soon I felt like the music was making me, not the other way round.”

Epoch Sinus is a seamless and heartfelt whole, a life-like being unto itself, describing the disintegration of barriers between the self and the all. Here PYUR offers an intimate and personal statement, combining knowledge of universal harmony with electronic music. She states: “I'm mainly influenced by my inner visions and nature itself, yet also a lot from club culture, which is undoubtedly an important space of connection and freedom for so many people”. The record dances playfully between supposedly incompatible qualities: moments of brutality turn to softness, new life embraces decomposition, while explosive rhythmic and melodic structures are tempered with gentle and subtle percussion.

The album is accompanied by a video piece for each track, translating the sonic messages into a visual body. Her goal was to show as accurately as possible what she felt during the making process of Epoch Sinus, to put the music into context and make it more accessible for the public. Light, water, reflections and colors of nature all feature strongly in these distinctive visions.

“Music showed me that, in the sweet spot between nothingness and existence, one is empowered to fully understand energetic connections and able to initiate extraordinary transformations through all grids and layers of self. Especially now at this time music has the enormous potential and responsibility to become a transformative entity, providing truthfulness and support.”

PYUR - A Tree [Epoch Sinus OUT NOW]

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.

Cerpintxt is an electroacoustic progress report concerned with generating an invented language of a particular strain of softness through phonetic entropy and augmented instrumentation. Working with cut-ups, dialectics, and chaos magick to decimate language and linear constructs of temporality. In an entropic process of lingual erosion into protoconversation, the textural counterparts of her sound include wind instruments, broken turntablism, tape recorders, granular and modular synthesis. She curates the London-based event ‘Boundary Condition’ investigating the parallelization between darkjazz, hauntology, and music concrete as nostalgia-centric sonic practices, previously hosting Esperanza Spalding, Shabaka Hutchings, Machinefabriek, Carlos Casas and more. She is a resident on Radio Alhara, Radio syg.ma and Mutant Radio.
