Hotflush label boss Paul Rose aka Scuba returns with a vinyl-only EP for Record Store Day UK 2026. ‘Petrology’ covers the widest stylistic range of Scuba productions, and hints at the breadth and variety of atmospherics found on his last full studio album, ’Claustrophobia’, all the way back in 2015. Opening track ‘Homing Device’ sets a brutal tone which gives way to the shimmering techno of ‘Puppets’. Side A is closed out by the title track, a dual-parted excursion into ambience and overdriven percussion. Side B consists of the three parts of ‘Tío’. The extended track opens with DnB inflections, gradually unfolding into deep dub structures and finally resolving into abstract rhythm and melody. ‘Petrology’ is presented as a strictly limited press on transparent blue vinyl.

🔊🔊🔊 TRACK OF THE WEEK 🔊🔊🔊
Sweat/Dante
Artist: Untold
Year: 2009
Label: Hotflush Recordings
This week my track(s) of the week is Sweat/Dante by Untold, released in 2009 on @hotflushuk
This is a gem in my collection - Untold's grooves and sound design never disappoint and there are loads of little details throughout this record that make it very special, like the Rhodes stabs, the vocal samples on Dante, the variations in the bass, the lush padding and piano samples, the rich yet tempered subs and the subtle drum fills.
All of this adds up and rewards repeat listening on top of the hypnotic, deep groove which is obvious from the first listen.
Dubstep? 2-step? Something else? I doubt it matters when both sides of the record are this good.
Let me know what you think!
