    Scuba

    Back in 2011, Paul Rose aka Scuba turned heads with his emphatic Triangulation LP. The album, dark and brooding, paid homage to the birth of the weighty, enigmatic dubstep genre. As his sound developed, however, Rose moved away from 140bpm rhythms, towards a faster, more techno-inspired and altogether more uplifting sound. Memorable tracks 'Adrenalin' and 'July' scored him points with fans of 4/4, followed up by this year's LP Claustrophobia. Sure to be a set full to the brim with dancefloor-ready bangers, he is not to be missed.
