Blow the Roof

Blow the Roof

The third EP from English DJ/producer Joshua Steele under the Flux Pavilion moniker plays like an evolution of his signature sound, which blends speedy dubstep with trap and electro-hop. Blow the Roof is an ambitious and appropriate title for a collection of wall-to-wall bangers. The opening cut, “One Two Three (Make Your Body Wanna),” wastes no time dropping a deep bass rumble with sternum-rattling results. But the chirpy melodic hooks here are what will take residence between your ears. “The Scientist” follows, paying homage to the King Tubby protégé of the same name; it's replete with an impressive vocal performance by Flux Pavilion. But rather than infuse the song with obvious dub trappings in the bass, he scoots these telltale genre styles upfront to the guitars while keeping a boomy wobble going for all the dancefloor freaks. Sway and P Money turn up and throw down some hyper-phrased rhymes in the Roma-flavored "Double Edge" before the title track makes good on its name with a dubstep hit that emphasizes more dub than step, all over alluring beats.
