Recently BBC1’s Zane Lowe (probably the most influential radio DJ on the planet) declared the new Flux Pavilion record to be his Hottest Record In The world. The lucky son of a bitch has obviously had the opportunity to hear the whole thing, unlike the rest of us, but we were allowed the opportunity to hear the lead single Blow The Roof Off. There was a time, on the back of Superbad, that it looked as if Flux might be delving too deep into the fermenting waters of commercial dubstep but he’s reeled it in with one of the biggest, purist club bangers I’ve ever heard.
Blow The Roof Off is out digitally January 28.
