  • Victor Calderone & Avision - The Relaunch of Record Label 'Matter' & The Current State of Techno

    About Victor:

    In 1996, Calderone broke through with his debut solo single "Give It Up," which lived on top of the Billboard Dance Music charts for a week. Throughout the '90s and aughts, Calderone was known for his intuitive and original club remixes for pop artists like Madonna, Sting, Beyoncé, Depeche Mode, and Whitney Houston. The fruitful era also saw him kick off international and statewide residencies that are still going strong over 20 years later. Calderone built a luminous reputation for his sprawling 12-16 hour sets—all-consuming journeys that illustrated his gift for musical storytelling.

    About Avision:

    Fortunate to grow up around the rich club culture of NYC and influenced by the sounds around him, Avision now finds himself helping to usher in a new wave of techno for the New York scene. His debut album In My Mind has been released on Maceo Plex’s Ellum Audio imprint, which DJ Mag UK has called “an impressive body of work stuffed full of melodic techno and maximal house”. Enjoy x

  • Lil Texas: Staying Authentic & Building A Brand In Music

    Podcast Overview: This episode we spoke about how Texas has built his brand of 'Lil Texas' and how he keeps consistency. On top of this there was conversation of health and fitness amongst a lot of other subjects.


    Who is Lil Texas: Lil Texas has become a new household name for speed freaks around the world. You can find Lil Texas’ earth-shattering kicks on world-renowned record labels, including Masters Of Hardcore, Barong Family, Welcome Records, and more. A master collaborator, Lil Texas consistently links with forward-thinking acts in dance music and beyond — he’s released music alongside Kayzo, Dorian Electra, Deadly Guns, and many more across a variety of styles. Through his unconventional approach to music, he’s inspired artists who’ve never delved into hardcore before to join the Texcore movement, engaging their audiences in the most extreme form of dance music. Lil Texas’ off-kilter style has also caught the attention of music’s biggest names — Lady Gaga and Elton John enlisted his hardcore flair for a remix of their single “Sine From Above” in 2021.

  • Scuba - Running A Record Label For 20 Years to Starting A Podcast

    Podcast Overview: Scuba discussed the ins and outs of running Hotflush Recordings for the last 20 Years. We dove in to his podcast "Not A Diving Podcast" and the changes he has experienced through his career.


    Who is Scuba: More than a decade into his storied career, Paul Rose aka Scuba is one of the most vital figures in electronic music. It remains that way thanks to his constant musical evolutions and always contrary perspectives. Five full length albums, a varied collection of EPs, and commercially available mix albums for Ostgut Ton, DJ Kicks and Fabric all prove this. They range from visceral bass and techno affairs to jubilant main room offerings and, more recently, take in a return to more percussive, increasingly introspective sounds such as his 2018 Caibu long player debut as SCB. As a DJ he is just as singular, and his entry into the fabric series proves that across 42 seamlessly stitched together tracks which take you to the heart of a foggy dance floor. Rose’s label also continues to plot a line between gritty dance floor 12”s and long lasting album experiences from a carefully curated selection of contemporary artists. Predicting the next step for this enigmatic artist is a fool’s errand, then, but that is what makes him so compelling.
