hyperdub 5

I'll point you in the right direction but I'm certainly not going to try and put my spin on the information. That would just be self important.

HDB019

another in the HDB catalogue.

the dust has barely started its descent after the kode9 episode (Black Sun...). But I guess with the schedule kode outlined on Deviation the other week, there is no time to stand and take in the intricacies of each release. There certainly were no internet rumbles for this release.

But dubsteppers will know all about what LD can bring to the table.

available in all formats @ boomkat.

& it seems even they were caught offguard. Not even enough time to put together one of their quirky little reviews. Sooncome I guess. .

difficulty describing

2nd hour of the Deviation tonight, Kode9 bringing a hyperdub showcase. Huge, huge respect for the man - the way the label has grown has been completely effortless - following/setting the trends of the underground.

remember the '08 run - ikonika, zomby, darkstar, LV - and then bang, samiyam from 'hiphop' - without even a whisper.

just dropped Black Sun - I'd heard the rumours of this but man, when Benji says every one just pulled a screwface in the studio, I'm sure there were a lot of you doing the same at home. Where to start with a description? I don't think I've heard a tune like that in years. Begging for a re-wind. Find me a box for that.

Been up on cooly-g for a while - Picked up an EP at Black Market last month and love the dark side of the funky. Hypnotic Vocals and plenty of sex appeal. Love Dub is perfect for the depth of the night .
Candlelight .
Your Lady.

And again Kode9. Props for seizing the talent before anyone else even knows whats going on.

Dusk and Blackdown have hammered this one plenty over the last few months. Either out of Japan or Denmark. Autotune, and roboticized r&b that's half 80's and half next millenium. A real electronic half breed. Find me a producer who know's how to remix that. . A la Joker's tale. And if we're honest - kinda steals the new 12" that it shares with Jokers Digidesign. Track name is You Don't Know What Love Is. 2000F & J Kamata.

Kinda missed the next one - Darkstar - not as standout as what's come before.

6 albums? and a book - Sonic Warfare. Just imagine having the man as a lecturer?

I know it's hype. Well this whole post is going to be spur-of-the-moment-hype but i can't sit still knowing a new Burial track could be coming through the speakers in a matter of minutes.

haha - 'unheard out of the bedroom'. Untitled. Man, this will kill dubstepforum tomorow. The Listen Again figures will go through the roof. I'm completely smitten with it already. Even if that isn't a scene word right now.

You really missed Burial didn't you. Untitled 2. haha, benji milking the exclusive. Intriuging A&R process that Kode describes - imagine getting hold of one of those mixes.

kode9's Too Far Gone - worthy flipside to the explosion the showcase opened with. do things to your body on a soundsystem / to your mind on headpones. And can any of this really be classified?

finally, on jungle - 'difficulty describing' - Hyperdub for you. Wow.

Goodnight.

Sound of '09

If you thought 2008 was Hyperdub's year, maybe think again, because having seen the early part of their 09 campaign. . It's on a different level.

The video - kode9's new piece that will be pressed sometime early next year. Live at Beyond (Geeneus' London Funky Monthly)
