Flux Pavilion Teases VIP of DJ Fresh’s “Gold Dust”

As Flux Pavilion is currently on his ‘Around The World in 80 Raves’ world tour, Flux has support from Trollphace, Spag Heddy, Moksi, Kayzo, Wilkinson, Jaykode, G-Buck and Francis Derelle. During one of the last shows, Flux Pavilion decided to surprise fans with a VIP of DJ Fresh’s “Gold Dust.”

DJ Fresh’s “Gold Dust” originally came out in 2010. Later that year, Flux Pavilion decided to take a stab at the track by releasing his remix via UKF Dubstep. The remix currently has 46 million views and counting. Flux Pavilion plans to extend this tour until June 10th where he’ll end his tour in Dallas, Texas. Does Flux Pavilion have any other releases up his sleeve? Only time will tell at this point.

The VIP Eventually Got A Real Release

Fans waited a while, but it was worth it — Flux Pavilion’s VIP of DJ Fresh’s ‘Gold Dust’ finally got an official release on August 12, 2020, three years after this Bassrush tease, going out through Breakbeat Kaos. Flux Pavilion’s original 2010 remix of the record already sits at over 46 million views on YouTube, so it’s safe to say ‘Gold Dust’ has had about as long a shelf life as any dubstep tune from that era.

Flux Pavilion, born Joshua Steele, co-founded Circus Records back in 2009 with his childhood friend Doctor P, and that label has been a home base for his music ever since. It’s part of why a VIP tease like this one carries weight — Flux Pavilion has spent his career being deliberate about what gets an official release and when, even if that means fans wait years for it.

Circus Records has since grown into one of the more recognizable imprints in bass music, home to artists across the dubstep and drum & bass spectrum, and Flux Pavilion testing a VIP live in a room full of fans before it existed anywhere else fits right in with the DIY spirit the label was built on.
