Will Hofbauer - Squito

Will Hofbauer returns to Aus Music with four colourful tracks of house, dub and broken beats.
The London-based artist previously debuted on the label with Four! Beats! in 2024
Will Hofbauer has always made music with a playful sensibility. From deep house to techno to club, it always comes with leftfield samples and an intriguing personality. His grooves are lithe, and his production styles pops and fizzes on labels like Wisdom Teeth, Optimo Music, and his own Third Place, and his return to Aus is again filled with studio trickery and dance floor delights.
Opener 'Silica Gel' is a dubby house cut with smeared pads bringing dashes of warmth. Shakers, hooky synth wiggles, and off-grid hits pepper the groove to keep things moving while sci-fi motifs bring a futuristic twist. 'Rolling in the Ooze’ picks up the pace with well-swung drums and grittier textures while bright leads dazzle and a sombre bassline adds depth. The brilliant 'Squito' has an authentic dub touch and is marbled with watery ripples and tiny sonic droplets. It's a fluid, elastic sound full of musical curiosities. Closer 'Ghoti' is a stumbling broken beat with meticulous drums and hi-hats over a stepping bassline. Bursts of shimmering synths and tumbling melodic scales light it up with a psychedelic twist.
Will Hofbauer's Do Not Eat EP comes on Aus Music on 6th June

Press Release:
James Young steps up for his first release on QRUK with the Nagasaki EP, a dark and driving UKG cut that leans into the moodier edges of Garage and Speedy G. The North Wales-based producer has already made waves with House releases on labels like Smashin Trax and Pogo House, but this new EP sees him pushing into heavier, more dancefloor-focused territory. Nagasaki is packed with chopped-up drums, eerie textures and a tough low-end that hits hard. 

On remix duties is Kabo Cana, returning to the label after making a big impression with his debut I DON'T UNDERSTAND. His take on Nagasaki flips the original into a more club-ready, 90s inspired roller full of sub pressure and tight percussion. It's another strong showing from the Manchester-based producer who's quickly becoming an exciting name in the new wave of UKG.

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.
