Artist: SCUBA
Title: Outmost
Label: ABUCUS (UK)
Format: 12"
Price: $11.50
Catalog #: ABUCS 004EP
"Limited white label. For the fourth 12" of Hotflush's offshoot imprint Abucus we have two new tracks from none other than Scuba himself. He once again challenges the boundaries of dubstep, starting with 'Outmost,' a 4/4 production that borders on crossing into the techno sphere. 'Beta' on the flipside maintains the mood with dazzling warm synths across a half-step structure."


Artist: SCUBA
Title: Twista
Label: HOTFLUSH (UK)
Format: 12"
Price: $11.00
Catalog #: HF 013EP
"After three outings on the Scuba sub-label, which ranged from crunching electro-dubstep to the fluttering emotive soundscapes of the most recent 12", Scuba finally touches down on the main label. With a distinctive sound recognised as one of the big hitters in dubstep, these two tracks push the envelope further for Hotflush and Scuba. 'Twista' tore the roof off the legendary DMZ first birthday party in March, with crunching live guitars colliding with a reggae off-beat and enormous sub bass. This was a Hatcha exclusive before the likes of Joe Nice, Distance and Mark One got on the case. Plate picks up the techno/electro baton from the last Scuba 12", mixing up chasmic reverb drums, swooping synths and the trademark Scuba sub."


Artist: SCUBA
Title: Timba/Sleepa
Label: SCUBA (UK)
Format: 12"
Price: $11.00
Catalog #: SCUBA 001EP
"Hotflush presents the first in a series of releases by Scuba, a producer making a big impression on the underground sound of dubstep. First played by Rinse FM stalwart, Forward>> resident and discoverer of Digital Mystikz, DJ Hatcha, these tracks have become some of the most talked about, and sought after, on Internet forums, dancefloors and pirate radio in recent months. Taking a much more minimal style than recent Hotflush releases, justifiably Scuba concentrates on awesome bass in a true dub-centric style. 'Timba' lays down a challenge to any soundsystem: can you cope with the bass? A twisting synth line and distorted stabs draw you into the drop, which resembles a sharp but righteous kick to the head. 'Sleepa' goes deeper, with a riff that slithers out of your speakers with soca-esque drums in hot pursuit, smashing into a floor-wrecking groove with bass."


Artist: SCUBA
Title: Thank U
Label: SCUBA (UK)
Format: 12"
Price: $11.00
Catalog #: SCUBA 002EP
"The second Scuba 12" has landed, carrying on the work laid down on the first. Scuba has become one of the hottest artists on the dubstep circuit, and now that many of the biggest MCs from the grime world are getting in on the act, these two tracks have been receiving constant reload calls at Forward and DMZ for the past few months. 'Thank U' continues where 'Timba,' from the first 12", left off. A massive sub-sledgehammer snare and a speaker-shattering halfstep break that seems to hark back the early days of hardcore. Innovative stuff from Scuba. Words develops the sub-bass theme, with an even more assaulting snare and a haunting synth line that ensures the classic dubstep depth."


Artist: SCUBA
Title: Harpoon
Label: SCUBA (UK)
Format: 12"
Price: $11.00
Catalog #: SCUBA 003EP
"The latest installment on the Hotflush dubbed out sub-label, this one takes it even deeper than the previous two. Dubstep has made massive strides in the past six months and Scuba is one of the hottest properties in the scene right now. 'Harpoon' was recently rated by XLR8R Magazine as one of the top ten dubstep tunes... EVER!"


Artist: SCUBA
Title: Frisco/Brown
Label: SCUBA (UK)
Format: 12"
Price: $11.00
Catalog #: SCUBA 007EP
"Scuba returns to the Scuba label with a much-anticipated release on wax. 'Frisco' is the logical conclusion to recent guitar-infused Scuba productions. Reaching for the four-string this time, Scuba comes up with a big tongue-in-cheek snare roll, leading to a digital dubstep bouncer strangely reminiscent of The Police. On the flip, Brown gets serious for one of the deepest Scuba tracks yet -- electronic melodic minimalism."
