At this point, there's really almost nothing that hasn't already been said about Hyperdub during it's 5 year tenure.  The Hyperdub logo and brand is synonymous with quality music that DJs and music fans can always trust.  The label has a specific quality of sound that resonates just as much in the hearts of the people of London as it does in Japan, the U.S., and Worldwide.



After his highly acclaimed remix of Darkstar's 'Aidy's Girl Is A Computer' in 2009, they recently tapped 18 year old young gun and Detroit native Kyle Hall to drop an original 12" on the label.  Kyle has been making big waves with his EP releases on his own Wild Oats imprint as well as sharing the stage with Detroit Techno legends such as Carl Craig, Juan Atkins, and Stacey Pullen many of which have been producing music since before he was born.  The release leads of with 'Kaychunk' which sounds like a distinctly American take on the UKFunky movement,  pulling sounds and textures from the forefathers of US Techno and crossbreeding them with that patented Hyperdub sound.  The flip 'You Know What I Feel' is a beautiful hybrid of 2step and RnB with shuffling drum patterns and a soulful synthline full of emotion, while underlying sounds of thunder and rainfall brew in the background.

Kyle Hall - EXCLUSIVE fabric Blog Mix by fabric

'Kaychunk / You Know What I Feel' releases in all the usual outlets on March 15th in 12" vinyl and mp3 format.






Their next release comes from the mind and soul of Ikonika, one of the most exciting producers in music today.   Her first Hyperdub release 'Please' / 'Simulacrum' in early 2008 was one of the highlights of the year and since then she has released more stunning tunes on the label as well as tracks on Warp and Planet Mu. I remember how I felt and where I was when I heard 'Please' for the first time and immediately welled up with those same feelings of eyes-closed amazement hearing 'Idiot', the first single off of her forthcoming LP. The sound is still defiantly Ikonika's but even more polished and concise than I've ever heard her music before. It's hard to not initially get a vision of Link running through a pixelated dungeon in the original Legend of Zelda and there is a very comforting quality about those familiar sounds that transport you back to your youth.  The tune is anything but juvenile though, with complex Cari-flavored rhythm and 8-bit synth harmonics and melody that make your knees buckle.  Check out her recent podcast for Made in Glitch below and look out for her full length album 'Contact, Love, Want, Have' dropping on Hyperdub soon.

The flipside of the 12" is a remix of 'Idiot' courtesy of Altered Natives which turns the tune on it's head into dubby, minimal tribal house while still retaining sound effects and bleeps from the original.  Altered Natives hit it big with 'Rass Out' in mid-2009 which got big support from Laurent Garnier among others.  Be sure to head over to FACT magazine and grab his recent mix for them HERE before it's too late.

'Idiot' / 'Idiot' (Altered Natives remix) releases on Hyperdub April 12th

This set was recorded live at Mutek_10: Brooklyn Preview at Studio B on April 11, 2009. Pangaea is part of the Hessle Audio crew, who continue to push forward their unique brand of deep and soulful dubstep to the masses. This set had the very techno-centric Beyond crowd losing their shit on the dancefloor, pitch-bent winding synth stabs, hypnotizing tribal drum beats and percussion, funky melodies...this one's got it all. Respect to TheBunker for another stellar podcast.

dBridge has been killing it lately and his latest mix for Rinse.fm with SP:MC is no exception. DBridge along with Intra:mental and others have begun fusing the sounds of Drum N Bass and Dubstep together, creating a unique soundscape and environment that finds a perfect balance between the two genres. Fusing Drum N Bass and IDM style drums and laid back dub effects and ambience, these cats are slowly starting to bring the soul back to DnB.

Udachi's pre-party jamz mix for NickyDigital.

Udachi on his mix:

"There’s nothing i love more than coming home from work on a friday night and getting amped to go out. A healthy bass exercise to work the nine to five demons out is always what the doctor ordered. This mix represents a healthy diet of twitchy bass goodness. I might suggest a proper stretch on some kind bud and dub prior to this workout. Remember to drink plenty of liquids. Happy Modulating!"
