Dubstep has always been the cornerstone of Scuba's music, but never its only means of expression. Just likes his recently released 'SUB:STANCE' mix for Ostgut, 'Triangulation' draws on a variety of influences, mediating between UK bass music and the sounds of continental Europe.

Styles on display range from the melodic electronica of 'Heavy Machinery', over 'On Deck's sawtooth techno-breaks to the jazzy deepness of tracks like 'Before', which allude to Kruder & Dorfmeister's early efforts (in a good way). 'Before' has also been chosen for the album's first video, a kaleidoscopic night time road trip filmed by director Sam Geer and included on the album as a bonus.

No doubt another landmark release both for Scuba as well as his acclaimed Hotflush label, 'Triangulation' is an intriguing effort that has yet to be bested in its field this year.
