2012 Decibel Festival

Hotflush first emerged out of the original London Dubstep movement of the early to mid 2000s. Manned by Paul Rose aka Scuba, Hotflush has continued to evolve creatively, all the while building up a diverse roster of talent spanning contemporary house, techno and 2-step. For this label showcase, Hotflush will be presenting three of their most recent signings, including the NYC/Berlin duo Sepalcure, UK house innovator George FitzGerald and NYC's Braille.


Sepalcure's combination of love for bass and 90s house acapellas is the culmination of a cathartic two-week collaboration between Praveen Sharma and the prolific Travis Stewart aka Machinedrum. Their 2011 self-titled album garnished massive praise from everyone to Resident Advisor to Pitchfork (e.g. "Best New Music") and lead to three follow up EPs on the Hotflush imprint. George FitzGerald is at the forefront of a youthful group of UK producers straddling house, garage and contemporary bass music. With seven EPs and as many remixes under his belt over the past couple years, George has solidified himself as a key player in the ever-changing landscape of the London underground. Braille is the house moniker of Praveen Sharma (Sepalcure, Benoit and Praveen). With quality releases on Hotflush and Rush Hour, Braille's own brand of bubbly house bridges the gap between classic Chicago House and UK Garage.
