including kode 9 remix.

morgan zarates second release for hyperdub is a bold and unexpected move for him. he has been known in the past as the producer for leftfield soul group spacek and also currently as one half of the shining, signed to xl records, but with >broken heart collector< he has made some highly contagious dubstep pop, featuring rising singer / songwriter / producer stevie neale on vocals. stevie warns of a guy who is the titular >broken heart collector<. her rnb vocals contrast with a fierce storm of drums and vertiginous synths that attack like waves against rocks. it is a brilliant pop song, with a chorus earworm you might find hard to resist. there is also an instrumental included as well. the third track is >crey bey<, an energetic, grimy 8 bar instrumental. it shifts between dive-bombing synths and a spooked, nervous melody over a rich organ track, with martial kicks and snares guaranteed to get you bouncing.

scratcha dva has come up with probably the finest match between album title and music in the history of the universe. >pretty ugly< is what it is - sweet and sour, blaring and lush, rough and smooth. the man is a genius.

hyperdub kick off 2008 they way they intend to proceed, with new tracks from a new artist. on her debut release, ikonika comes with her own very unique, warped yet soulful bleep sound. with shape shifting beats that switch styles every few bars its hard to pin these two tracks down... cos if it was easy, it just wouldnt be hyperdub. both tunes are one minute minimal, one minute maximal, driven along by ikonikas special combination of wonky synth and deep swingin sub bass melodies that place them somewhere between an early, blocky grime instrumental and the sweeter side of detroit techno ? except with better bass of course! who needs a vocalist when your synth can sing like this? quite how kode9 manages to keep unveiling new producers of such abundant talent is a conun drum, but one to be cracked some other time when we?re not so busy keeping up with his astonishing labels ceaseless march into the future.

it’s time for the procurator! we’re happy to announce our first release from edinburgh born and bred producer proc fiskal - otherwise known as joe powers.
like a scottish relation to the recent faster grime productions lewisham mc novelist has coined ruff sound, proc fiskal ups the energy of the stark cubist rhythms of the early grime of wiley and ruff sqwad by accelerating and retooling them to fit the faster 160bpm grid, engineering a delirious hybrid that also subtly makes explicit the relationship between grime and jungle and happy hardcore.

new burial - pressed on 180gr

dvas neues album »notu_uronlineu« stellt einen erheblichen wandel für seine musik dar. er benutzt hier den künstlernamen hi: emotions, den er in der vergangenheit für einige remixe verwendete. das album weicht stark von dem ab, was man vielleicht von ihm kennt, sowohl in seiner dunkelheit, als auch seinen abstrakten ambitionen, aber die qualität und komplexität seiner musik sind dafür gemacht, neue fans zu gewinnen. die vinyl-lp erscheint inklusive downloadcode.

jessy lanza s second album oh no is inspired by japanese 80s electro outfit yellow magic orchestra’s philosophy of experimental pop. playfully laced with cascading arpeggios, crispy drum machines and breezy songs, oh no has an infectious energy that has carried over from her live shows.
made in her hometown of hamilton, ontario, with production partner jeremy greenspan from junior boys, the plaintive, reverb drizzled mood of the first album has all but given away to a more direct, confident and joyful album. as jessy says ‘i want to make people feel good and i want to make myself feel good’

after hyperdubs first compilation of 10th anniversary dancefloor heaters, -hyperdub 10.2- features some of the labels best songs of the last five years or so. hyperdub is often associated with dark and brooding instrumental music, however, this mid-summer collection sheds some sunlight over that dread filled reputation, showcasing an underrated cast of talented songwriters, vocalists and producers. the album is laced with brand new cuts from kode9, cooly g, morgan zarate feauring. eska and ghostface killah, jessy lanza, dean blunt & inga copeland, and dva featuring zaki ibrahim. ranging from melancholy r&b, garage, funk, footwork and icy pop, -10.2- covers this overlooked side of the labels back catalogue. the album opens with dean blunt & inga copeland-s grime lullaby signal 2012, one of their final collaborations, moving into burials dubbed-out r&b on shell of light from his seminal album untrue, and jessy lanzas stand-out cut 5785021, before sliding into the digi dub meets r & b slow jam of south londons cooly g with obsessed. king britt features next, with his fhloston paradigm project, on the deeply emotive never defeated- featuring rachel claudio. after their collaboration on his pretty ugly album, dva is joined again by south african singer zaki ibrahim with their brand new summery mutant garage track solid. dam funk jumps on ikonikas funk bomb -mr. cake-, adding a fun, party vocal. continuing the -80s funk vibe is morgan zarate and roses gabors ice cold prince-influenced pusher taker, the lead track from his 2013 ep. jessy lanza contributes some more sparkling r&b with the brand new you and me, followed by another track from morgan zarate, a lost dub featuring the soulful eska and wu tang clans ghostface killah. the tempo raises in the final stretch of the album with dvas and fatimas collaboration just vybe, terror danjah & melekas shimmering r&g cut you make me feel and the 160 bpm soul of the late dj rashads only one from his acclaimed double cup album. the cd closes with the lo-fi, bashy mutation of kode9 & copelands lies lies. 10.2 calls on hyperdubs sirens to balance the moody energy of 10.1 with fourteen slices of hyper soul. let them lead you astray

morgan zarate featuring roses gabor and taiwah on his 3rd release for hyperdub.

ikonika is one of the outstanding producers of her generation. her 2008 debut ÔpleaseÕ (hyperdub), announced a forward thinking, highly melodic, twisted take on uk underground dance music. after further singles for planet mu and hyperdub, she went on to release one of the best albums of 2010 Ôcontact, love, want, haveÕ, receiving glowing reviews from the guardian, bbc, nme, fact, resident advisor, pitchfork among many more. her remix projects have included interpol, caribou, cubic zirconia and dj mujava.

sam walton is a 22 year old producer from manchester who came to hyperdub after feeding them demo tracks, and started off in 2011 with the *walton ep*, the first of three eps for the label. since then he has honed and developed his music into *beyond*, finding a really fresh and subtle intersection between music that doesnt seem to naturally fit together, old eski grime, funky and detroit house and techno but with smudged edges and a colourful industrial sound palette that gives a real richness to his productions.

beach mode (keep it simple) is the perfect snapshot of ikonikas new album aerotropolis. it is also her first vocal track, graced with the voice of *one to watch*, jessy lanza. beach mode combines sunny salsa-like chords and claves, inspired by latin freestyle dance music from the 80s, with jessys vocals cutting in over some soaring rough synths. it is a refreshingly straight forward and sensual piece of pop dance. side b starts with a dub mix for all the vocal haters, while the percapella version breaks it down into a syncopated drum track and a slightly dubbed take on the vocals, giving it a tracky and colder toughness reminiscent of early chicago house music. get into beach mode.

laurel halo returns with behind the green door, a stripped back, rhythmic, and sonically absorbing ep. while re-injecting rhythm as the central focus, laurels compositional senses of elevated flow and ambient detail remain intact, harking back to earlier releases like hour logic on hippos in tanks, and the spring 12 inch under the king felix alias.

dj rashad has been instrumental to the creation and evolution of chicago juke music and has been lifelong friends with other key players on the scene, such as paul johnson, dj gant-man, dj spinn, dj godfather, and jammin gerald.

terror danjahs second hyperdub album is dark crawler, a well paced and much more upfront and energetic journey through his musical world than his debut undeniable. the album revolves around the dark crawler theme, a blistering grime track that pops up several times vocaled by mcs riko dan, mayhem, deadly and saf one, and then lastly trim and kossie.

lv return to hyperdub with a taste of whats to come on their forthcoming south london-meets-south africa album sebenza, due at the end of august. what lv make here is the exciting prospect of music influenced by south african house and kwaito, informed by regular trips out there and sessions with up and coming south african artists such as okmalumkoolkat, ruffest and spoek mathambo, but letting the influences of uk soundsystem music and hip hop bleed naturally into the mix too, creating a genuine hybrid.

all nite ep is the young mancunian waltons second set on hyperdub, after his very well received walton ep debut for the label in 2011. title cut >all nite< kicks it off with warm plucked strings, diva moans and lazer-like synths stretched to the point of anticipation over cracking grime handclaps and bass drums, until the track drops into a blocky bass line playing hide and seek with low arpeggios that spiral in and out of the mix, over a giant pounding metallic kick drum before layering on the warmth again. the whole track plays with a fine balance between warm, disco-like lushness and exuberant roughness. >mallet< is driving and darker, building detuned, bell-like tones over a 4/4 beat accented by breaks and fills and gaps, dropping into a big bass line and syncopations that disrupt the beat and bring the drama. >kush< is different again, taking the pace down with low end, synth hip hop with glassy chords, running over woozy pitch shifting rhodes chords fed through a layer of crackly gauze.

new burial !! featuring three new tracks pressed on high grade 180g vinyl for optimum sound reproduction, and running beyond 30 minutes, the >kindred ep< is an ambitious work that pushes further into the unique musical territory burial occupies.
