Scuba

Since 2003 Paul Rose – aka Scuba – has released productions covering the entire spectrum of electronic music, revelling in the creative process, and bucking expectations. He’s released five critically acclaimed artist albums and crafted mixes for the esteemed DJ Kicks, fabric and Ostgut Ton series, winning a DJ Mag Best Live Act award along the way. He remains one of the industry’s most astute tastemakers, his Hotflush imprint shaping the direction of the electronic landscape and breaking the careers of innovators such as Mount Kimbie, George FitzGerald and Or:la. He’s also run a series of seminal nights ‘SUB:STANCE’ at the world's best club, Berghain, opening a portal for many involved in the UK-centric dubstep movement of the 2000s, immersing them directly at the core of Berlin’s inimitable techno scene.

In 2021 he continues to chase absorbing studio projects. Continuing his recent passion for incorporating live instrumentation into his productions, as exemplified by the guitar-licked ‘Forgive Me’, the artist embarked on a new indie-tinged collaboration this summer titled ‘Diivorce’ with emerging London vocalist DOMiNii. The new productions take inspiration from acts such as Talking Heads, Wang Chung, David Newman, Arthur Russell, and The Blue Nile.
