Kode9
is one of the dubstep scene's leading lights. His label, powers as a tastemaker and his DJ sets have won him acclaim all over the world in recent years. He has followed the freshest wave of the hyperdub virus into the 21st century, a mutating sound, as much influenced by Jamaican dub and dancehall, Berlin's dub techno/microhouse as London's jungle, drum'n'bass and uk garage scenes. He is currently pushing a distinctly South London sound, playing a mixture of dancehall influenced bass heavy post-garage, variously known as dubstep, and grime. Today he is leading dubstep dj (check the acclaimed Dubstep Allstars mix series released on Tempa and http://kode9.blogspot.com/2007/05/mix-for-sonar-festival.html) and among the most unique sounding and interesting producers. Kode9 is an oldschool dj with a polished mixing technique and he knows exactly how the scene is moving; he controls the different trends and he's alert about its current possibilities and its future prospects. While he plays nothing but the newest upfront dubs, Kode's also been DJing longer than some youngers have been alive, following the sound through from old school to jungle, 2step to today. Widely recognized as the most creative producer in the genre, and the head of it's most respected label, Kode9 is the axis upon which much of Dubstep has turned. His dubstep, condensed in the glacial "Memories of the future", compresses a thousand and one ideas attached to science fiction ideology, evokes a dubious and slightly esoteric tomorrow, like if space-time continuity could be altered any minute.
He is also the founder of the pioneering dubstep label Hyperdub, releasing artist such as Burial, Warrior Queen and The Bug among others. He has released tracks on Aphex Twin's Rephlex label, pioneering dubstep label Tempa, Domino, Souljazz, Planet Mu and his own Hyperdub imprint and has recently remixed artist such as the Junior Boys, Badawi and Dabrye feat. MF Doom. In 2006 he mixed the Dubstep Allstars Vol.3 CD compilation on Tempa records with vocalist Spaceape and released their debut album, 'Memories of the Future'. His track "Backward" was used on the official soundtrack from Alfonso Cuarn's masterpiece "Children of men". He has been a resident at ÒForwardÓ,dubstep's founding club night, since its inception, and his dj sets have helped spread the South London sound internationally from Australia to America. Steve Goodman is a lecturer in Media Production and he runs the MA Sonic Culture at the University of East London. Currently he is writing a book entitled 'Sonic Warfare' on the intersection between war and sonic culture.
