Kode9 & the Spaceape
Black Sun
Kode9 is the most important electronic artist of the past five years. Debatable, sure, but there’s only so many times you can be so far ahead of the curve before you have to be promoted from bandwagonaire to outright curator.
His label’s 2009 compilation, 5 Years of Hyperdub, showcased the unmatched breadth and pure tastemaking abilities of this London producer, and Black Sun maintains the momentum. The drums are unapologetic, pummeling as they manoeuvre over spiraling synth floods. At times, the album draws more from drum and bass than from UK funky or any other bass music du jour.
