Known for his 2011 hit "Bass Cannon," English dubstep producer and DJ Joshua Steele took the name Flux Pavilion around 2008 when he released the track "Cheap Crisps" as a digital download.
Steele was born in January 1989 in Towcester, United Kingdom, and is sometimes promoted with the slogan "Successfully ruining silence since 1989."
He'll bring his dance/electronic show to Track 29 on Wednesday, May 31, sharing the stage with Kayzo and Jaykode.
In Towcester, his neighbors were producers Doctor P and Trolley Snatcha. All three played in guitar-based bands together, but after downloading some music-creation software, they agreed the future was digital and set out on their dubstep paths.
Fast forward to 2010 and Flux Pavilion had made a name for himself with plenty of club hits, remixes and DJ gigs, but that year's "I Can't Stop" took his career to another level. Two "fans" Steele met on a tour of America asked to sample the cut for their upcoming hip-hop album - and a year later "I Can't Stop" became the basis of "Who Gon Stop Me" on Jay-Z and Kanye West's collaborative effort "Watch the Throne."
Flux Pavilion's hit track "Bass Cannon" arrived that same year, along with a collaborative cut with Doctor P, "Super Bad."
