Flux Pavilion

English DJ, producer, and Circus Records cofounder Flux Pavilion was one of the first UK dubstep names to cross over to the US market, though he’s never shied away from expanding his sonic palette. • Flux Pavilion—born Joshua Steele—discovered dubstep while studying to become a music teacher in 2008. The day after he saw English DJ and producer Rusko perform in London, Flux created his first dubstep track. • In 2009, he founded Circus Records with fellow UK dubstep dynamo Doctor P. • His 2010 single “I Can’t Stop” was a massive hit on the club scene. A year later, it became the backbone sample of Kanye West and Jay-Z’s Watch the Throne track “Who Gon Stop Me.” • With the 2012 single “Daydreamer,” Flux Pavilion logged his first Top 40 hit on the UK pop charts. It was his third Top 10 hit on the UK dance charts. • Flux Pavilion has released two studio albums: 2015’s Tesla and 2020’s .wav. The latter finds the producer experimenting with a broader range of sonic influences and collaborating with The Chain Gang of 1974, Nevve, Feed Me, What So Not, and others.
