Sepalcure

After releasing their debut EP, Love Pressure, the New York-based duo Sepalcure began their first European tour alongside a selection of their Hot Flush labelmates at the end of 2010. Now set to release their EP on Scuba's Hot Flush label this January, Travis Stewart (aka Machinedrum) and Praveen Sharma have come a long way since having founded New York's CassetteNYC club night and online mix archive Percussion Lab. Blending dark 2-step, lush electronic sounds and emotive synths, their new Fleur EP is complemented by a beautiful video by Sougwen.
