Joshua Steele, known professionally as Flux Pavilion, is an English dubstep producer and DJ.[1] He is the co-founder of Circus Records, along with Doctor P and DJ Swan-E.[2] He is best known for his 2011 single "Bass Cannon", which peaked at number 56 on the UK Singles Chart,[3] and was placed on the Radio 1 A-List. Along with Doctor P, Flux Pavilion presented the 2011 compilation album Circus One, to which he contributed four tracks. In February 2011 his track was covered by Chiddy from Chiddy Bang, which appeared on their EP "The Preview". In August 2011 his track "I Can't Stop" was sampled by producer Shama “Sak Pase” Joseph for hip-hop album, Watch the Throne by Jay-Z and Kanye West.[4] In December 2011, Flux Pavilion was nominated for the BBC's Sound of 2012 poll, as one of only two independent artists on the longlist.[5] On 5 March 2012, his track "I Can't Stop" was used in the viral Kony 2012 campaign, in the film The Great Gatsby, and was previously featured in SSX. Steele has also sung on multiple tracks for both himself and other artists, including "Voscillate", "Starlight" and "The Scientist". On January 28, 2013, he released a new EP, Blow the Roof, which was received generally favorably by critics.[6] One of his songs 'Double Edge' is featured in the 2012 video game Need for Speed: Most Wanted
