Review: Whenever Proc Fiskal comes to town, we know we are in for a treat, especially when he is making himself at home with the Hyperdub family, one of the most respected and undeniably unpredictable sonic outfits the UK has ever produced. We are gifted four tracks of musical gold from Mr Fiskal, who first unloads a laser-like soundscape on 'Pub Utopic', an unorthodox showcasing of synthetic mastery, before the more mellow melodics and post-garage drums of 'Pic Of U'. On the flip, another luscious landscape of electronic beauty in 'Job Centre Cataclysm', fusing blippy melodic twitches with spicy vocal chops, before 'Global Lawn' sends us down one final prism of insanity, insighting unpredictable bubbly drum sounds for a sensational send off.

Review: As always with Hyperdub, we planned to expect the unexpected with this monstrous new collection from OKZharp, exploring shimmering soundscapes and unusual production scenarios with this brand new 'Outside The Ride' LP collection. Opening up with the footwork-like drum pacing of 'Incline Disconnect', also wrapped up in synthetic beauty, next to the sandstrom of higher ended percussive inputs of 'Fall In Up In The CLK' and early 2000's crunk style synthetics of 'Fen's Touch'. From here, 'Tom Tom Ride Out' gives us a more minimal approach focussing on the space inbetween your typical footwork pockets, next to the chilling melodic designs and potent bass inclusions of 'Cut It Out', which again takes a more alternative route. Finally, 'Obsidian Root Power Up' conjures up a vocally grunted melody lead, next to a vibrant selection of drum inclusions, before the EP closes off with 'Glo Down Nite Trak', again jam-packed with unique percussive arrangements to see the project out in style.

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: More next level dubs from The Bug allows Hyperdub to present In Blue, a new collaborative project between Kevin Richard Martin and producer-vocalist Dis Fig, aka Felicia Chen. With the album described by the pair as 'Tunnel Sound' its seven tracks conjure up a foggy vision of what's been expressed as narco-dancehall, zoned-out soul and dread drenched in low end frequencies and melancholic meltdowns. Not too distant from Martin's work in King Midas Sound, Chen gives this project a fresh personality through her experimental and stylistic charm of 'hushed confessionals' and 'bittersweet vocals' sung with 'seduction' and 'delicate delivery'. Mixed entirely during lockdown somewhere in Brussels, its deeply impactful tones boom with an unrivalled supersonic, with slow tempos shining through in "In 2 U" alongside more functional techno semantics in "Forever" - bringing to mind albums like Eno's Small Craft On A Milk Sea and KMS' legendary Waiting For You. Five stars.

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: As ever with a Hyperdub drop, we know to expect the unexpected as we are gifted this top draw showcasing of compositional mastery from Doon Kanda, on his brand new album 'Labyrinth. The project is astonishingly good, focussing not one specific area of electronic music, but instead infusing everything into almost every track, from the spooky piano chops and lofi drums of 'Mino' to the Scott Storch style synthesizer patterns and epic OST vibes of 'Enigma'. This is definitely one for the long players, with our stand out track coming in the form of the twisted string work of 'Dio'. Incredible scenes.

Review: With 19 Hyperdub artists on show here, this intrigue of a collaboration to help Hyperdub commemorate its 15th year of operation sees the label connect with late night television network Adult Swim. The likes of Burial, Ikonika, Fatima Al Qadiri and Kode9 all sign in with tracks specifically made for the compilation, with stand out numbers coming from Skratch DVA via the toxic and percussive "Baka" alongside the white noise crackles and subtle dub and industrial techno grooves of Nazar's "Unruly". Other oddball highlights include Mana's "Climbing The Walls" and the slow march of Doona Kanda's "Perfume". Late night TV has never sounded so good.

Review: Google the term conceptronica and you'll find an article by Simon Reynolds on the rise of club music that's maybe more suited to museums. If it's Lee Gamble now showing at Museum Le Conceptronique, Exhaust would be showing something of an example of the club sphere and scene being turned out at the moment. Twisting spirals of deconstructing rhythms fly around the room, forming new shapes and bends, colours are sliced into bold, matte and metallic shapes. Exhaust, in all its hyperfluorescent form, pitches deconstructed club music into a new realm of idealistic harmony, dissonance and contortion. Take this as the second record in a triptych released at the start of 2019 by Hyperdub.

Review: Well what a collection we have in front of us here as Hyperdub top dog and all around electronic music machine Kode9 presents his 'Diggin In The Carts Remixes' project, packed full of experimental flavour and unusual design. From the off 'Mister Diviner (The Mahjong Touhaiden)' holds a collection of ascending Japanese melodies in harmonious fusion over trap-style drums, with the military snare rolls of trance-like synth stabs of 'Bad Data (Dezaemo)' following suit. Next, the glitchy yet regal arrangements of 'Temple (Actraiser)' march into play before finishing up in gamer heaven as the subtle 8 bit tones of 'An-Un (Ominous Clouds) (Xak II)' see us out with some serious finesse.

Review: By now we all know that when we see a new Hyperdub release hit the shelves, the best thing to do is expect the unexpected as the legendary imprint continue their voyage through unexplored arenas of sound. This latest album from Mana holds the torch with great strength, from the intense, arp-like melodics of 'Myopia For The Future' and the stunning soundscape work of 'Leverage For Survival' to the twisted vocal processing of 'Soaking In Water' and 'Talking / Choking' featuring Yendry. For us the unpredictable harmonic structures of 'Instinction' and incredible musicality of the title track 'Seven Steps Behind' also deserve a serious mention.

Review: The legendary Hyperdub return in style here as they bring forward Lee Gamble, who presents us with an awesome collection of 7 originals. In typical hyperdub style, this one pushes all the boundaries wherever they lay, from the glitchy soundscaping of 'Chant', to the softened arpeggio structures of 'Cry' and the experimental synth movements of 'BMW Shuanghuan X5'. Overall this project shows a real sense of character and a level of confidence to explore that which is unexplored in sound. Other standouts from this one have to include the juke-like drum arrangements of 'Moscow' and the incredible harmonic layers of 'Many Gods, Many Angels'.

Review: With the legendary status of Kode 9's Hyperdub imprint already embedded into the fabric of British dance music, we expected nothing short of a banger when this new EP from Nazar hit our shelves. We weren't to be disappointed as we kicked off with the epic orchestral harmonies of 'South Border' and the twisted electronic abandon of 'Warning Shots'. Following we land amongst the kuduro style snare loops and rave synths of 'Airstrike', alongside Shannen SP, before we then touch on title track 'Enclave', which is a ticking time bomb of unpredictable electronic flavour. We finish up with the super sidechained rhythmics of 'Konvoy' and the luscious soundscaping of 'Ceasefire', combining shimmering lead synths into beautiful harmonies.

Review: Closer Apart is the debut album by UK/South African duo Okzharp and Manthe Ribane. While vocalist/artist/dancer Ribane still resides in South Africa, Okzharp now lives in London where operates as a DJ/producer. He cut his teeth in the band LV, one of the first acts to sign to Hyperdub. Recorded between Paris and Vienna while on tour during intermittent moments such as flights, airports and hotel rooms when the duo could collaborate. They started work on it in the studio of filmmaker Chris Saunders, who is now working on the visuals and stage show for the duo's new album. Ribane and Okzharp's previous collaborations include the two Hyperdub EPs Dumela 113 and Tell Your Vision.

Review: With a name like Joe Powers, this young Laudonian was bound to be a public figure in some way - but he instead chose the equally terrific alias of Proc Fiskal. He is back on Hyperdub after making his debut last year with The Highland Mob EP. The Insula LP uses field recordings of his friends talking, drunk folk and general Scottish life to represent current life circumstances - much like social media or even a time capsule, as the 18 year old has stated. From the gloomy collage of opener "Restart", the jagged beat experiment of "2L", the oriental grime of "Dopamine" and the bleepy urban blues of "Hoax Nos Trinit" it's all in all a rather curious listen indeed.

Review: Following up great releases by Mana, Cooly G and Lee Gamble recently, Kode9's esteemed Hyperdub imprint returns with UK dubstep hero Burial. He offers up yet more of his signature style: brooding and semi-dystopian street sounds for journeys home on the night bus. His new offering "Rodent" features a familiar R&B vocal loop that has been pitch shifted to an eerie extent and backed by a thick garage bassline and gritty/saturated low bitrate rhythm. The label boss himself steps up to deliver a jagged and off-kilter footwork rendition. It's full of spitfire drum patterns, rapid fire bass pulsations and the vocals are accelerated to a stupefying stutter: this one's totally off the chain!

Review: Four years have passed since Ikonika last dropped a body of work this size on us. And boy is she making up for lost time.... Instantly hitting with warmth and humour on "Girlfriend" she sideswipes us into a vast musical world where dots are joined between west coast funk, grime and R&B with stark linear style. From the sensual stutters and swoons of "Noblest" to the grainy, immersive Boards Of Canada-style "Do I Watch It Like A Cricket Match?" by way of the rich juicy west coast funk elements of the otherwise barbed "Lossy" and delicate futurist soul of "Hazefield", this is the warmest and most expressive Ikonika has sounded so far.... And it sounds amazing. Distractions are good for the soul, right?

Review: Having emerged on critical futurist labels such as Classical Trax and Plasma Abuse, Scottish beat chiseller Proc Fiskal makes his debut on Hyperdub. Weighing in at seven tracks, "The Highland Mob" is his biggest statement yet and hits at temp that works perfectly for halftime or footwork sets. Loaded with alien sounds, gully dynamics and more eight bar switches than a soundclash, highlights include the loose string charm of "Lamentation", the sinewy rhythm and dark jungle aesthetics of "Acidic Hoes" and the west coast prang of "Bad Mind". Get mob handed.

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.

Review: The big, bad Kode9 makes a much awaited return to his own Hyperdub stable with a new album, and that is exactly what we were wanting to hear from the one of the founding fathers of contemporary UK bass music. His explorative style is perfectly suited to the album format, and "Zero Point Energy" is the perfect opener to a stunning sequence of events - large folds of bass deconstruct over sci-fi sonics and sink into the pensive melodic flux of tunes like "Notel", and "Void". There is also plenty of beat-laden material here, so don't worry, and "Holo" even ventures into a bit of jump-up juke, but there's no point trying to dissect Kode9's music; the album is all made up of hybrid tunes, and it's exactly the sort of music that pushes boundaries further and genres to their very edges. Quality, of course.

Review: The third full-length album from Steve Goodman comes weighted by the untimely passing of his long time sparring partner Stephen 'Spaceape' Gordon, marking the first time he has flown solo on a long player. Stylistically the production reaches out into many of the spaces you might expect of the Hyperdub label boss in this day and age, from rapid-fire threads of footwork to hyper-modern house mutations, but by and large the clean, crisp and angular flair that embodies the Kode9 sound is still very much intact. At times the sparse concept behind Nothing can feel positively unsettling, as on the eerie "Zero Work", but there is still plenty of room for the playful lead lines that shed light into Goodman's brooding sound world.

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: 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: Rapidly following up 2011's superb Keysound long-player Routes, production trio LV make a logical move to Hyperdub for Sebenza, an album that features a trio of South African vocal talent, including Okmalumkoolkat from Dirty Paraffin, Spoek Mathambo and MC/producer duo, Ruffest, and production that takes in Kwaito, Soca, kuduro and UK funky to create its own unique sound. Standouts include the dark and urgent title track, the snappy vocal wit of "Animal Prints" and the spiky digital dancehall of "Nothing Like Us". But like Routes, Sebenza is much more than simply a collection of disparate dance tracks, but a rich tapestry of influences that is light years ahead of their nearest competition

Review: Ahead of their hotly anticipated second album, LV are in rabble-rousing Kwaito mode on their new single for Hyperdub. Re-aligning with rowdy MC Okmalumkoolkat on the lead track "Sebenza", it's he who holds the song together with his assured flow while the groove splays manically around neon daubs of melody and hyperactive beats. "Get A Grip" pumps a cheeky trade in peak-time floor wrecking goodness, full of the crafty production that L.V. have made their name on, while "Zulu Compurar" cools things off for a brief stint in technological lyric references and a gentle Funky excursion. As ever the synths rule the day, buzzing and humming with an innate wonkiness that creates the very charm of this singular music.

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: With his own album twitching at the gates, Kuedo brings his synth-laden delirium to King Midas Sound's "Goodbye Girl". He starts proceedings on a tart melodic line underpinned by some monolithic bass tones. The mournful quality of the original wafts through, acting as just the right counterbalance to Kuedo's day-glo styles. Mala opts for a bleak, dread fuelled take on "Earth A Kill Ya". A menacing, drawn out intro peppered with ghostly tones kicks into gear with a minimum of fuss over a persistent sub stab. If you appreciate music written to conjure up demons then this track has everything you need.

Review: After the woozy dread of Waiting For You, a sterling cast refigures the uneasy tones of King Midas Sound. Flying Lotus dismembers "Lost" into a three-minute cauldron of avant-garde hip-hop swagger, and Gang Gang Dance conjure up a bonkers romp with "Earth A Kill Ya". Cooly G tackles "Spin Me Around" with her own honey-coated delivery, while dBridge's taut synths and heart-broken croon threatens to drop at any moment on "Without You". The album feels like a celebration of the original rather than of the assembled artists, and it's testament to the curation of both projects that disparate elements can sit so well together.
