Forgive Me

HF055 - Scuba - Forgive Me (SNIPPETS)

Over the course of the last couple of years I have begun to hear more breakbeats naturally appear in the new music I like. For example I have been playing a lot of tracks by the likes of Special Request, Ejeca, Warung, DJ Haus. They make breakbeats from right across a range of sounds from the really old school rave style through to new interpretations of jungle or more mid-tempo vibes which were more melodic and trance like. I mentioned previously how lockdown has given me the chance to explore my own record collection, especially a lot of the progressive sounds that were big in the 90s. Falling back in love with those sounds reminded me of the fluidity and variety you find in breakbeats and this gave me lots of production ideas. Somehow it feels more free and I am able to be more adventurous than the typical 4/4 techno and house template. That’s what gave me the confidence to  explore these new breakbeat styles and reach out to Soultrain who is such a legend in the reggae and drum & bass scenes. It was a lot of fun working with a vocalist for a change and in this case in particular Soultrain’s vocal work made our studio sessions come alive and made the track we did come together so well.

3D or not 3D, that is the question. The answer, in this particular case, is sort of. Yes, it is the 3D(ream) Team of Howells (D for Danny), Emerson (D for Darren) and Seaman (D for Dave). The three musketeers who since 2016 have harnessed their considerable talents to deliver expertly curated back to back DJ sets and finely crafted slabs of dancefloor goodness via the good ship Selador. This time around, however, its 3D squared. Whilst scrupulously observing the Rule of 6, three fellow travellers from around the globe have been invited to join our motley crew, bringing their remix expertise to the (legal, socially distanced) party. These are challenging times but music remains the best panacea. And while all three offerings here are deserving of your attention in their own right, what unites them is a mastery of soothing atmospherics, a sonic blanket to wrap around yourself. All will transport you to the dancefloors we yearn to be on right now, but each mix also doubles up as an electronic balm custom made for your headphones. First up, we return to 2018s first EP, and Daves brilliantly-titled Hired State of Unconsciousness. For remix duties, we visit France and invite the ever-popular Rodriguez Jr to pick up the baton. A naggingly insistent acidic riff is gradually enveloped by gorgeous melodies guaranteed to set you adrift on memory bliss. We then hop over the border and ask legendary German genre-straddler, Ian Pooley, to take the controls and re-work Darrens paean to pioneering New York imprint Sleeping Bag from this years trilogy-completing third EP in the series. We are rewarded with a characteristically mesmeric slice of hypnotic funktronica. For our third selection, Romanias electronic ambassador Mihai Popoviciu, a veteran of so many leading labels, takes on Dannys Shortwave, also from the third EP. Here we have a blissful builder of a mix, with an irresistible lead hook aided and abetted by numerous tectonic elements weaving in and out of the track. Time to get 3 dimensional once again.

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.
