Flux Pavilion
About Flux Pavilion
Flux Pavilion, real name Joshua Steele, is a dubstep producer/Dj from Towcester, UK.
Influenced by the likes of The Prodigy, Basement Jaxx and dubstep pioneer Rusko, Flux loved the high energy madness that dance music was capable of and set about making some of his own in the form of dubstep. He hit the scene in early 2009 and secured himself a solid stance in the dubstep world. His blend of hard smashing rhythms and manic basslines gained him an audience along with his incorporation of his singing and instrumental talent into his tracks.
In 2012 he released his EP "Lines In Wax" with the song "I Can't Stop" which became his biggest hit, and it ganered many adaptations in pop culture. Chiddy Bang recorded a freestyle to the song, appearing on his Peanut Butter and Swelly mixtape. The track "Who Gon Stop Me" by Jay-Z and Kanye West on their collaborative album Watch the Throne samples the track. "I Can't Stop" was used in the viral Kony 2012 campaign, the video game SSX, the trailer for the 2013 film Rush, and the 2013 film The Great Gatsby.
While his career flourished Flux and childhood friend Shaun Brockhurst, aka Doctor P, had also been working on some stuff together. They teamed up with legendary DJ and drum and bass pioneer DJ Swan-e, and Earl Falconer of UB40, and together formed the infamous Circus Records, which has exposed the world to the likes of Zomboy, Funtcase and Cookie Monsta. With classics such as "Bass Cannon" and "Big Boss" and their iconic remix of DJ Fresh’s "Louder" which could be heard at every festival in the UK, Doctor P and Flux Pavilion have become household names in the landscape of dubstep music, and are now seen as pioneers of dubstep’s more contemporary sound.
In 2015, Flux Pavilion released his debut studio album, "Tesla". In 2021, he released his second studio album ".wav".
