Co-founder of Circus Records, Flux Pavilion was the first British producer to hit the top 100 with his low-end bass music. Flux Pavilion aka Joshua Steele, is a pioneer of what is known as “the genre formerly known as Dubstep”, he has produced some of the most successful tracks the electronic music scene has seen and launched the careers of scores of new talent in the process. From Glastonbury to Coachella, Flux Pavilion has racked up performances at the world's greatest stages, headlining multiple US tours and two headline UK tours.
Influenced by the likes of David Bowie, The Beatles and Frank Zappa in the early years, it was when he heard The Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers that Flux Pavilion knew he had found a musical direction he truly wanted to explore for himself. A deluge of musical projects followed, writing instrumental hip hop and dirty drum & bass, joining local bands and producing for other acts all while studying at university. But the major turning point for this unquestionably talented musician was a visit to London superclub Fabric: “I never went to clubs because I didn’t feel accepted into that scene; it felt too showy, too well-groomed. Then I saw Rusko play at Fabric and it changed my perception of everything. He was jumping around wearing a big cardboard hat shaped like a bird playing the most outrageous music I had ever heard. I loved it.”
In that time Flux has continued to develop his signature sound, retaining the all-important energy that The Prodigy and Rusko inspired him with in the early days and undoubtedly inspiring a generation of electronic music producers of his own in the process.
The multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, record producer and label owner shows no sign of slowing down, releasing beautifully melodic genre-bending new music, collaborating with the likes of Conrank, Doctor P on his latest EP - ‘Fluxiverse’. Along with continuing to storm the live scene with his electrifying live shows, showcasing his multi talentedness with singing, multiple synths, and electric guitars.
