Kode 9 — Hyperdub Transmissions on Groovetech Radio
Опубликовано: 19 мая 2015 г.Kode9 on Groovetech Radio in 2002.
Although born in the city of Glasgow, Scotland, Kode9 is genetically a junglist. He started DJing in 1990 at the age of 16, playing a fusion of reggae, breaks, hip hop, jazz, funk and house. He was subsequently swept up by the emergence of the breakbeat hardcore, jungle and drum’n’bass scenes, and has been rinsin’ breaks, ragga chat and bubblin’ basslines ever since. DJing across the UK during the 90s, from Edinburgh, to Coventry, Kode9 migrated to London in 1997, suffering infection to darker strains of the emergent 2step garage scene. He now runs the Hyperdub label.
These sets were were originally streamed in real media in the early days of online streaming radio. Unfortunately, you'll have to excuse the poor quality.

Опубликовано: 19 авг. 2012 г.In my opinion, Glue Funk Hits is one of his best. It is something of a landmark release for Aaron «Venetian Snares» Funk when compared to subsequent releases. Released in 2002, it is his first label-released LP in which he would display a particular sonic substance with which he would become associated. Bits of «Amen» and «Think» breaks are sprinkled over distorted supersaw synths, feedback whines and third party samples, at times touched with oscillating flangers and frequency filters, with snare rushes and time stretched percussion samples abounding. In future releases, such as the following year's Chocolate Wheelchair Album (alternately titled Stupid Chocolate Wheelchair), Funk would tone down the harshness and give his tracks a more tangible metronomic meter, but most of the major identifiable traits of a Venetian Snares record first manifested themselves on Glue Funk Hits. Not to say this is a generically uniform record throughout. «Walmer Side» displays glitchcore elements first explored on his previous releases such as printf(«shiver in eternal darkness/n») and Songs About My Cats, while «Dismantling Five Years» is a plaintive atmospheric tune devoid of percussion, and «Banana Seat Girl» sees Funk trying his hand at synthetic Trout Mask Replica-esque free jazz. Certainly a breakcore benchmark and an underrated record from the catalogue of one of the greats.
