Description

Biography

Based in South London, Kode9s hyperdub sound is difficult to define, sometimes with beats, sometimes without, sometimes with a vocalist, sometimes without, the only continuity is the heavy sub bass. Currently, Kode9′s DJ sets travel through a selection of dancehall influenced bass heavy skank, currently referred to as grime and dubstep. In 2006 he mixed the Dubstep Allstars Vol.3 CD compilation on Tempa records with vocalist Spaceape and released their debut album, ‘Memories of the Future’.

Kode9 runs the record label Hyperdub (releasing artists such as the Spaceape, Warrior Queen, the Bug and Burial). For 4 years, he hosted the weekly Fwd>> show on Rinse FM, London’s grime and dubstep pirate radio station, and is one of the rotating DJs at DMZ, the seminal dubstep night in London.

He has released tracks on Aphex Twin’s Rephlex label, pioneering dubstep labels Tempa, Domino and his own Hyperdub imprint and has recently remixed artists such as the Junior Boys and Dabrye Feat.

His DJ sets have helped spread the South London sound internationally, to East Asia, Europe, South America, North America and Australia.

In 2007, from Sonar in Barcelona to Mutek in Montreal, they are giving exclusive performances of their un-live ‘Bass Fiction’ set, which mixes their old and new material in a new, intense, bass-submerged mutation.

DJ and MC sets have helped spread the South London sound through the world taking him to Japan, Singapore, Brazil South America, North America and Australia. But 2007 saw the launch of their unique project Bass Fiction Live, which brings the studio to the stage and mixes their old and new material in a new, intense, bass-submerged mutation.
