\"hyperdub-logo\"<\/p>\n

Yeah it’s a bit incessant but there are so few releases right now that really excite me I’m going to roll with this for a bit!<\/p>\n

The Hyperdub bash at the weekend was awesome, lots of nice people, lots of chat and catching up. Bit too rammed, great soundsystem.<\/p>\n

King Midas Sound<\/strong> came on around midnight and were great. Kevin on the buttons, mixing it up like an old school On-U Sound session, tweaking the tracks in a raw dubwise style – harder than the album. Roger’s vocals were a bit more forthright onstage as well. They opened with “Cool Out” and it was much more directly in your face than the vinyl version – live and direct<\/em>, in fact. Hitomi came out stage front a little later on and brought her own styles to the equation – each of the trio has great stage presence.<\/p>\n

It was awesome stuff for a group who have only performed live once before, I can’t wait to see them again. The rest of the line up was of similar quality from what I saw – Kode9 and Spaceape<\/strong> live were verging on “stadium” with lots of funky stylings – manging to fill the room up with sound and voice without resorting to wobblers, natch. Which is possibly one of the unwritten laws of Hyperdub.<\/p>\n

Mala<\/strong>‘s set in the small room was also a joy, lots of classics that even dubstep cynics like me knew and loved.<\/p>\n

Then I got into wandering around, chatting and drinking territory so that’s yer review in full.<\/p>\n

Shout out to they guy sitting next to me on the N253 at 3:30am who threw up all over the place. You twat.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I daresay all you lot out there are weary of me banging on about KMS given that the album isn’t even out yet? Fair enough! Time for some audio…<\/p>\n

First up check out comrade Johnny Mugwump’s interview with KMS over at The Quietus<\/a>. It is accompanied by an exclusive Kode9 mini-mix <\/a>that gives a good flavour of the “Waiting For You” album (out very soon!<\/em> On Hyperdub! ha ha).<\/p>\n

Then head over to FACT Magazine and snaffle their exclusive King Midas Sound mix<\/a>, which features their own tunes alongside some classic lovers rock, soul, arsequake and avant garde business. Mixed by Kevin Martin. Exclusive one-away vocals from Roger Robinson and Hitomi. Yes really. You need<\/em> this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
