Kode9

About the artist

Between his duties as founder of the groundbreaking Hyperdub label, his always forward-thinking DJ sets, and his original productions and remixes, Kode9 has remained at the forefront of underground dance music since the early 2000s. One of the originators of the U.K. dubstep scene, he founded Hyperdub in 2004 and released numerous singles with ragga vocalist Spaceape, as well as full-lengths Memories of the Future (2006) and Black Sun (2011), and the mix-CD Dubstep Allstars, Vol. 3 (2006). Constantly expanding his horizons, he became an early champion of the juke/footwork scene in addition to exploring styles such as broken beat, garage, and grime on releases like solo full-length Nothing (2015) and mix-CD Fabriclive 100 (2018, with Burial). Escapology, part of a wider project called Astro-Darien, appeared in 2022.
