Circus Records is an independent record label founded by Joshua “Flux Pavilion” Steele, Shaun “Doctor P” Brockhurst,[2] Simon Swan and Earl Falconer in 2009.[3][better source needed] Kanye West and Jay-Z sampled the Flux Pavilion song “I Can’t Stop” in “Who Gon Stop Me“. Steele’s extended play Blow the Roof also charted at number 60 on the UK Albums Chart.[4][5][6][7][8][9][excessive citations] The label played a role in making the dubstep genre become more appealing to a mainstream audience.[10]
History
Circus Records was founded in 2009 to release “really good dancefloor music that was also appealing to more casual listeners” and to usher the “second wave of dubstep“.[10][11]
In 2022, Circus Records announced a new sublabel called “Circus Electric” as a place for their more experimental, eclectic, “bold, [and] boundary-pushing” releases.[12]
