• Flux Pavilion Unveils New Single ‘Paradise’

  Flux Pavilion brings the wobble back to life with ‘Paradise’. Flux Pavilion, the distinguished British producer known for his influential and innovative contributions to the electronic music scene, welcomes 2023 with his latest single “Paradise.” With a track record of chart-topping releases, collaborations with some of the industry’s biggest names, and headlining performances at major festivals across the globe, this new single is a testament to Flux Pavilion’s continued skill and creativity after more than a decade in the scene. ‘Paradise’ is his latest in a run of singles following ‘Lore’ and ‘(Never Gonna) Be Alone,’ all of which are leaning on the heavier side he’s gravitated towards since his .wav album. Fed by the force of letting yourself be present in the moment and to savor experiences, enjoying paradise means taking the time to appreciate the beauty around you and disconnect from the digital world.

The track progresses with a catchy euphoric vocal before switching into a weighty anthem. ‘Paradise’ arrives on all digital platforms today, with Flux Pavilion kicking off 5 consecutive shows with UKF in New Zealand from March 17th.
