Review: Following the artist's All The Time album (2020), her third on Hyperdub since 2013's breakout Pull My Hair Back, Hyperdub compiles a 'mixtape' of remixes from seven artists Lanza herself would love to rework her latest work. Two UK Hyperdub artists make the cut in Proc Fiskal's deconstructed breakdown of "Lick In Heaven" next to the finger clacks and stepping rhythms of Loraine James' version of "Face". Japan's Foodman arrives with a new age exotica remake of "Alexander" alongside the sweet '90s R&B references and themes of Kate NV's mix to "Baby Love". For the dancefloor, DJ Swisha delivers this EP its hit track with a set of well swung, banging hi hats in "All The Time" while something unique, futuristic and high definition comes from Invisible Cloaks. Rough and ready breakbeats from Martyn Bootyspoon too!

Review: The title for West London producer Ikonika's second album Aerotropolis supposedly refers to a city centred around an airport, and was apparently chosen because the album is "about height, getting high and become distant". It supposedly underwent more significant polish than her previous productions and it shows; lead single "Beach Mode" sounds like a classic '80s house track, while "Mr Cake" glimmers with all the sheen of classic US boogie and the shimmering arp of "Eternal Mode" shows hints of disco in its DNA. But Ikonika's connection to the darker strains of UK dance music still shine through; the thick bass and syncopated rhythms of "Manchego" are pure grime while the monolithic "Mega Church" sounds like futuristic, high concept dubstep. Incredible stuff.

Review: AIDOL is the soundtrack to a work by London-based Chinese-Malay visual artist and musician Lawrence Lek. The film, featuring Hyperdub founder Kode9 as an 'unforgiving label boss,' plays on futuristic, neon pop and megacity themes of EDM superstardom alongside visions of China's global ascent, artificial intelligence and technology. Said to be a continuation of Lek's 'sinofuturist' universe, everything from Akira inspirations and Aldous Huxley references ("Welcome To SoMA") to the sonority of The Knife's music (in "Call Of Beauty (ESports Reprise))" can be felt here, with the added touch of the main character's voice, Diva, created with a vocaloid vocal synthesizer. With spoken word collaborations from Sophie Guo, Xiaoyi Nie, Xiaoran Wu and Joni Zhu adding to Lek's story of a 'fading superstar' who hires an AI songwriter for a comeback performance, tracks also feature Seth Scott who's worked with Lek in the past, of note 2017's Geomancer. More than a ghost in the machine. 5 stars.

Review: On his Hyperdub debut last year, youngster Walton made a real impression on the Juno review ears, and we've been eager for more ever since. Once again surfacing on Kode 9's imperious label, the All Night EP finds Walton on equally impressive form, replicating the course of his debut with the title track being the most immediate production. "All The Night" is luridly colourful in the thick 8 bit textures that spill out over hyperactive vocal edits and buccaneering drum chops. Up next, "Mallet" does more with steel pans in the opening bars than Jammy xx ever did, before veering off into an eminently satisfying bleep heavy UKF flex, whilst "Kush" drops the tempo down to a heavily saturated, downtrodden shoulder lean.

Review: It's always a very exciting experience to see a new album with the Hyperdub tag land in the store. This latest outing sees them welcome the wonderful Jessy Lanza for a full length album project by the name of 'All The Time', introducing us to her fantastically unique vocal ability and sense of electronic glamour. The design across the album is pretty damned beautiful, from the floating flutey bridges of 'Alexander' to bubbling soundscapes of 'Baby Love' and everything in-between. It's a long play project for certain, with our highlights being the 80's inspired moogy grooves of 'Lick In Heaven', alongside the warped synthesizer pushes and catchy vocal inflections of 'Ice Creamy'.

Review: Always a safe bet for some of the most colourful, playful sounds on Hyperdub, DVA is back at it once again with a sure shot EP that features more collaborative fun and games. Starting off on a seriously strong tip, Addison Groove gets involved in the 808 rich title track, which does some dazzling start-stop acrobatics with the groove while stitching all kinds of jazzy flourishes in and around the beat. Ciara La San lends her vocals to "Pink22" and the end result is a colorful twist up of RnB pop crossover material with that DVA freakiness rubbed into the joints, while Mickey Pearce brings some club-ready rowdiness to "Spoonbender" but can't repress DVA's skill for stripped down weirdness.

Review: UK house-broken beat star Cooly G has been off our radars for our while, but here she is again on Hyperdub, home to her productions since day one. She returns with five floor shakers but the opener, "Trippin B", cannot be beaten purely on the basis of the absolutely killer bassline that is carries - potentially this week's pick from us. However, "Booboo", although not as instantly alluring, is a fine house banger with plenty of percussive trickery and oddball vocal samples, while the flip is dominated by the flangery synths of "Flange City", "Waybay's" tropical groove, and the breaks and twists of "Horrors In The Dance". Aside from "Love Dub", this might well be one of her finest moments

Review: Multidisciplinary artist Fatima Al Qadiri aligns with Hyperdub to release Asiatisch, a keenly anticipated debut album that's described as a "simulated road trip through an imagined China". First coming to prominence on the UNO label in 2011, Al Qadiri has subsequently provoked critical acclaim for the 2012 Desert Strike EP for Fade To Mind that played on her time spent living in Kuwait as a child, while her work under the Ayshay moniker for Tri Angle explored vocals in a unique manner. Asiatisch expands on the political themes of Desert Strike in a new and unexpected way, and acts as a homage to the style of grime known as "sinogrime". Asian motifs and melodies are prominent throughout whilst conceptually Al Qadiri runs through "the fantasies of east Asia as refracted through pulpy Western pop culture". If that wasn't enough to sell you on the concept, opening track "Shanzhai" is a "nonsensical Mandarin" language cover of Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U".

Review: More commonly found freaking out grime, bleep and other tropes into surreal computer malfunctions, on "Beach Mode" Ikonika is wholeheartedly embracing her poppy side with some breathy vocal help from Jessy Lanza. The backing track is straight up late-80s house, with chart-friendly synth breakdowns and bridges aplenty, while the dutiful bassline keeps on trucking all the way through and plenty of cheeky drum machine tom fills. The title says it all about what this track is built for. The "Dub" keeps on the tradition of '80s b-sides too with a more club-friendly version that takes the core elements, ditches the vocal and simply jacks on through. As if to complete the package, there's even a stripped drum n vocal n delay version just like momma used to make.

Review: The Hyperdub head honcho hooks up with The Spaceape, five years after their debut album Memories Of The Future, for another eloquently crafted and superbly narrated journey through bass music's ever-shifting landscape. With its milestones of dub, techno, house, dubstep and 2-step, the pair's sound has unsurprisingly evolved into something fresh and new. From the dread riddim "Black Smoke" which starts the LP, through the pacing, King Cannibal-esque "Am I" to the hissing, mellifluous sounds of "Black Sun (Partial Eclipse)" and the more maudlin, synth-drenched "Green Sun", it's very much an album of now and makes for essential listening.

Review: Morgan Zarate has been causing a stir online with his inventive and melodic take on dubstep. "Broken Heart Collector" is a luxuriantly produced example of electronic pop with heavily compressed layers of emo-synths, urban beats and an infectious melody sung with aplomb by Stevie Neal. "BHC" is a craftily titled instrumental version; although minus the vocals, the tune takes on a more widescreen feel. "Crey Bey" is a digital feast of video game sounds, lasers, hip-hop keyboard riffs and machine gun snares. Recommended.

Review: It has been almost two years since the Fatima Al Qadiri's debut LP dropped on Hyperdub, and we're as excited now for her follow-up as when we'd heard the first one. This is because Qadiri provides us with everything to satisfy our need states; through an awry and granular sound, the artist is able to transmit a whole spectrum of moods and feelings. This makes Brute an album for anyone, and it can be enjoyed both by the party-goers and the moody corner-dwellers. The intro is a detached sort of skit that distances itself form any sort of shape, but so we're dropped in a post-futuristic world of pseudo grime, broken, detuned techno and tropical electronica. To be honest, there would be no other place for it than the mighty Hyperdub. Big release.
