Hyperdub 10.1

In 2014 Hyperdub is 10 years old. Founded by DJ and producer Kode9, the label has grown from its humble origins as a left-field dubstep label, and spread out to function as a cross-genre hub, absorbing sounds and ideas, keeping listeners on their toes, and refreshing itself while still maintaining its core sensibilities. To celebrate, Hyperdub release four compilations which cluster thematic highlights from the last five years, all augmented with new material, as well as staging a number of international showcase events across the year. First up comes 'Hyperdub 10.1', a double CD covering the label's dance floor dimension. Disc 1 features almost all new material from Hyperdub regulars such as Kode9 and The Spaceape, Quarta 330 and DJ Rashad, along with old and new allies. Disc 2 spotlights 17 high points of Hyperdub's last half-decade, proven dance floor material from the grittier end of UK funky, grime, dubstep, hip hop and footwork. Artists featured include Burial, Cooly G, Champion, DVA, Funkystepz, Ill Blu, Walton, Ikonika, Kode9 and The Spaceape, Morgan Zarate, Mark Pritchard and Om'mas Keith, Terror Danjah and Riko, DOK, LV ft. Okmalumkoolkat, and DJ Rashad. 'Hyperdub 10.1' is more an ammunition belt than an album.
