10 years of Hyperdub! Can you even believe it? Fans of moody electronic music have been alternately wallowing in deep, atmospheric depression and getting all jacked up and weird on the dancefloor for 10 whole years. Such is the legacy of London’s Hyperdub, the label that brought us works from such luminaries as Burial, Laurel Halo, Hype Williams, The Bug, and Kode9.
To celebrate, Hyperdub is throwing its fans across Europe a bunch of insane parties, starting with an April date in Glasgow featuring Kode9, Ikonika, Scratcha DVA, and Terror Danjah, and culminating in a three-room dancefloor spectacular at London’s Fabric at the end of May. Plus the label is releasing a series of four compilations, starting with the May 19 release of Hyperdub 10.1, a double CD focusing on the label’s more grimey and booty-shakin’ artists and featuring new material from the likes of Kode9 & The Spaceape, Quarta 330 and DJ Rashad, Kyle Hall, Kuedo, Mala, and the Teklife crew. The label will also release a run of single- and multi-artist EPs based around the artist lineup on the CD (as they did for the five-year celebration). Plus, more tour dates to come!
