Scuba (Hotflush / Substance / Golden Goose | UK)
Long established as one of the leading talents in the dubstep scene both through his own productions and the contributions of his label, Hotflush, to the talent pool, Scuba, aka Paul Rose, has been making inroads into the techno scene via Sub:Stance, his monthly event at Berghain/Panoramabar, and, more recently, his establishment of a new techno-centric alias and label, SCB.
Hertz Couture (Dubstation, Dubmatic, UK)
Hertz Couture is a DJ/producer from Birmingham in the UK. Hertz Couture has been DJing for 15 years and has made his way through numerous musical styles, starting wih Hip-Hop and Breakbeats. Hertz Couture quickly fell in love with the art of turntablism and enjoyed mixing Funk, Soul and Reggae into his sets. Drum and Bass was next in line for the Hertz Couture treatment with all sub genres covered (except jump up). Hertz Couture enjoyed the longer more chilled out style of mixing DnB in contrast to the manic, never stop working and cutting style employed in Hip-Hop. And then there was Dubstep! Hertz Couture co-hosts a weekly Dubstep radio show called “Dubstation” every Wednesday 10-11.30pm (UK time) on www.rhubarbradio.comwith Boogie Dave (DBNB). They cover all styles of Dubstep music and have regular guest appearances and mixes on the show from DJs and producers from all over the world including Eskmo, Babylon System, Aries and more. Hertz Couture can be found DJing at various Dubstep events around Birmingham and beyond including nights in London, Leeds and Czech Republic and is resident at the legendary Drop Beats Not Bombs and Dubmatic events. Hertz Couture is currently working on a couple of collaborations with other Birmingham producers and will be posting new tracks and mixes in the near future…
