Scuba on The Dubmission Saturday on 91.3fm

August 17th, 2010 by Kyle S

Tune in to the Dubmission this Saturday and every Saturday late night on 91.3fm WYEP. The Dubmission is a weekly 4 hour mix of broken soul, downtempo, nujazz, house and rare grooves.

This past week Scuba was in Pittsburgh for a rare appearance and Kerem was able to catch up with one of the most influential figures in the worlds of both dubstep and techno.

One of the key figures in crossing the sounds of techno and dubstep, Paul Rose aka Scuba has been shaping the scene as one of the pivotal figures on the triple B axis of Bristol, Berlin and bass – running Hotflush Records in Bristol, running the Sub:stance night at Berlin’s Berghain club, and bringing plenty of bass in either case. Along the way he’s finding time to produce some ground shaking tracks and take them to places around the world.

Tune in for the interview and music this Saturday beginning at 1am on 91.3fm and wyep.org
