Beam me up Scotty

This much I know...

Kode9 makes incredible music. Cinematic sound scapes.

He's from Scotland originally; relocated to Camberwell (South London) where he writes about viruses and sonic warfare.

He doesn't wear a kilt when DJing, but if he did, I suspect it would be made by Adidas

He creates space which The Space Ape inhabits.

The Space Ape is a philosophising, fear inducing poet straight out of a "lyrical black hole."

The pair actively promote audio addiction.

Kode9 was one of the first pioneers of the sound that earthlings classify as Dubstep; He consistently pushes boundaries and jumps barriers. No Oyster Card needed.

9 is the founder of Hyperdub. He's had a lot of 1's:

1st Dubstep label to commission a video- 9 Samurai (see www.myspace.com/kode9)
1st Dubstep artist to use the internet to full effect:

1st label to release Burial material
1st dubstep label to release an album on a metal disc
1st dubstep label to wholly embrace, promote and support vocals and lyrics beyond samples. (see Pressure feat. Warrior Queen)


My favourite label by light years. My favourite sign of the times. A record of Memories of the Future and for the record, they're beautiful.
