Artist:	BURIAL
Title:	Burial
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.50
Catalog #:	HDB 001CD

One of the true signature albums of 2006. This first album on Kode9's Hyperdub label comes from the mysterious Burial. On this stunning self-titled CD debut, Burial carves out a sound which sends the dormant slinky syncopations of UK garage, via radio interference, into a padded cell of cushioned, muffled bass, passing through the best of Pole's Berlin crackle dub. Burial explores a tangential, parallel dimension of the growing sound of dubstep. Burial's parallel dimension sounds set in a near future South London underwater. You can never tell if the crackle is the burning static off pirate radio transmissions, or the tropical downpour of the submerged city outside the window. In their sometimes suffocating melancholy, most of these tracks seem to yearn for drowned lovers. The smouldering desire of "Distant Lights" is cooled only by the percussive ice sharp slicing of blades and jets of hot air blowing from the bass. Listen also for a fleeting appearance from Hyperdub's resident vocalist, the Spaceape unravelling his crypto-biography. In its loud quietness, Burial takes his kitchen crackle aesthetic neither from the digital glitch nor merely from a nostalgia for vinyl's materiality. Instead, as "Pirates" suggests, Burial's crackle mutates the tactile surplus value of pirate radio transmissions. Burial's mix is haunted. Echoed voices breeze in and out, on road to another time. Pirate signals from other frequencies stream in. This is a tidal wave of noise submerging all but the crispest syncopations. The noise is not violent, but caressing, tickling, exciting the ends of your nerves. Utterly seductive.

Format:	2LP
Price:	$21.50
Catalog #:	HDB 001LP

Now finally bowing to widespread and sustained demand, Hyperdub now issues a specially re-tooled vinyl edition of the amazing Burial album, available for a strictly limited period. A continual seller ever since release in April 2006, demand for Burial's roundly praised debut has rocketed, following a swathe of superlative appraisals and high rankings in the various year-end review sections. With the DJ in mind, optimum sonic integrity has been maintained by removing the CD version's beatless opening and closing tracks, and the remaining 11 tunes have been re-sequenced and re-cut to allow those 4 that have until now not appeared on vinyl to be presented in newly-mastered 12"-standard audio across the first two sides. With both the South London Boroughs and Distant Lights EPs now out of print and likely to remain that way, this limited edition two-wax pack offers the only way to get your Burial fix in club-ready configuration, but it won't be around forever, as the ever-elusive producer is near to completing his next opus, at which point this changes tense from present to past.

Title:	Untrue
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	HDB 002CD

This is the second full-length release on Hyperdub from the UK's mysterious and much-acclaimed Burial. Of all the artists past and present who claim to let their music do their talking for them, Burial is one of the elite band of whom this truly is the case. In fact, so reluctant is he to engage with the cult-of-personality hoopla that surrounds almost every modern producer and musician of merit, that he remains a genuine recluse; he has never appeared live, only one obliquely-angled publicity photograph is known to exist, and the number of interviews he has given can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Yet despite this, his music speaks loud and wide, and the world has been listening ever since his South London Boroughs EP debut on Hyperdub in March 2005. His eponymous album, which began life as a low-key release in May 2006, is now widely-regarded as the benchmark release of the ever-widening dubstep genre, picking up unanimous critical acclaim along the way, and ending the year heavily featured in many "best of" polls. Now Burial returns with Untrue, a new record of weird soul music, which lovingly processes spectral female voices into vaporized R&B and smudged 2-step garage. Vocal lines are blurred, smeared, pitched up pitched down and pitch bent until their content is cast adrift from their original context and they whisper their saccharin sweet nothings into the void. The album continues with the debut's crackle-drenched yearning and bustling syncopations, haunted by the ghosts of rave, but also reveals some new Burial treats with a more glowing, upbeat energy. Kicking off with the skittering 2-step syncopations and vocal science of "Archangel," "Near Dark" and "Ghost Hardware," before long it descends into a space of radiant divas and ambience. Where Burial first was humid, suffocating and unrelentingly sad, Untrue is less sunless. Many of the tracks are so sweet they become toxic, underscored by the almost geological rumbles of growling bass lines. Unlike the overpoweringly melancholic prevailing mood of before, Burial's sound is now better defined as a downcast euphoria typified by the epic, muted optimism of the album's last track, "Raver." Forget central heating -- the radioactivity of this album is all that you'll need to keep you warm this winter. Untrue is available as a full 13-track digipack CD, including recent underground hit "Ghost Hardware," and a 9-track DJ-friendly double vinyl set, from which some of the beatless pieces have been edited.

Title:	Waiting For You
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.50
Catalog #:	HDB 003CD

"After two singles on Hyperdub, and a release on Soul Jazz, King Midas Sound's Waiting For You is the debut album from Roger Robinson and Kevin Martin's new group. In previous collaborations, Roger performed as a highly respected poet, but when he opened his mouth to sing in a fragile falsetto, everything changed and King Midas Sound was born. The signature intensity of their previous solo projects remains, but the mood and feeling is radically different. As opposed to Roger's spoken word pronouncements and The Bug's fierce battleground dancehall, King Midas Sound is more like an opiated after-math." Digipack with a 24-page booklet of lyrics and artwork.

Title:	Contact, Love, Want, Have
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.50
Catalog #:	HDB 004CD

"After a string of 12s on Hyperdub over the last couple of years starting with the now classic Please in 2008, Contact, Love, Want, Haveis the debut album from Sara Abdel-Hamid a.k.a Ikonika. Contact, Love, Want, Havedoesn't mess around or waste a note as she colors in and then discards the rulebook. Maybe it's her background as a drummer in a post hardcore band, her love of RnB and hip hop that bring in that extra that makes her music stand out from the legions. Or maybe it's just her ear for an odd melody. While on the face of it the album seems to traverse a number of retro-futurist styles, including dubstep, UK funky and garage, '80s synth pop and computer game soundtracks, it remains totally contemporary, coherent and focused, making the idea of restraining her to a single genre irrelevant."

Title:	Undeniable
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.50
Catalog #:	HDB 007CD

"Terror Danjah makes Afrobotic grime productions; an Escher-like sound which combines complex clusters of asymmetric rhythms and offbeat trapdoors with swooping synths and fx, all tagged with his trademark Gremlin Cackle audio logo. While his previous long players have been closer to mix-tapes or retrospective compilations, Undeniable is racked full of new productions and mutations of some classics from Grime's golden days, and sees him flexing with ease across the tangled landscape of British electronic music at the close of 2010, from vocal and instrumental grime and dubstep to underground house."

Remixes of King Midas Sound's debut full-length by Kuedo, D-Bridge, Flying Lotus, Gang Gang Dance, Kiki Hitomi, Cooly G, Robert Aiki Aubrey, Joel Ford, Nite Jewel, Hype Williams, Kode 9 & The Spaceape, Mala, Deep Chord presents Echospace, Green Gartside and Ras G & The Afrikan Space Program. "King Midas Sound released their enthralling debut album Waiting For You in the fading light of November 2009. A hypermodern nocturnal take on Lovers Rock, featuring delicate but sour electronic instrumentals topped with Roger Robinson's bitter-sweet falsetto and Kiki Hitomi's fragile voice, it highlighted a hitherto less-exposed side not just of producer Kevin Martin's musical evolution, but that Hyperdub's too."

Artist:	DARKSTAR
Title:	Aidy's Girl Is A Computer
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	HDB 028EP

"Darkstar's last single on Hyperdub, 'Need You,' released early in the summer of 2008, was Pitchfork's # 1 dubstep single of the year, and turned many towards their developing melancholic sound. Championed by Radiohead, they recently returned the nod of appreciation by recording a version of 'Videotape' for Mary Anne Hobbs' new Planet Mu collection, Wild Angels. On 'Aidy's Girl...', the duo confidently define and refine their catchy melodic sound with a song that's perfectly pop, while at the same time possessed of strange and intriguing bittersweet machine soul. Over at the other side, Detroit teenage wunderkind and Omar S protege Kyle Hall recalibrates the original into a blissful robotic Motor City house opus on his 'Oats B So Deep' remix, with a massaging bass line that sounds like sunshine on melting wax."

Catalog #:	HDB 032EP

"After his remix of Darkstar's 'Aidy's Girl Is A Computer' at the end of 2009, Hyperdub were quick to request an EP from Kyle Hall, and these two fantastic tracks are the outcome. Just 18 years old and hailing from Detroit, Kyle Hall has been getting a lot of attention after releasing several EPs on his own Wild Oats label, plus a one-sided single for Omar S' FHXE imprint. However, this is his first full release for another label."

Title:	Idiot
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	HDB 033EP

"Idiot is the first in a series of picture sleeve 12"s taken from the album, Contact, Love, Want, Have, backed with remixes from some of Hyperdub's favorite current producers. 'Idiot' is already something of a hit with those who've heard it being played out, combining hard soca drums with lush ecstatic melodic synth harmonies and a driving bass with a strange 8-bit melody that stumbles and trips around the rhythm. It's completely alien at first, but potent enough to stick in your ears until you might catch yourself humming the refrain when you least expect it. A unique and fantastic combination of compelling contemporary sounds."

Title:	Lost
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	7"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	HDB 039EP

"King Midas Sound has been leaving a trail of the dead with their searing live show since their album Waiting For You was released in November 2009. 'Lost' is one of the album's most single-suited moments, released here on Hyperdub's first ever seven inch record. Roger Robinson's lyrics are full of regret and sorrow in the aftermath of a finished relationship, while the beats sound like a long lost RZA production. On the B side, new track 'Frequencies' finds guest vocalist Pupajim versioning on the rhythm from KMS's Cool Out, the French reggae emcee dropping lyrics like a singjay lullaby on his ode to bass frequencies. Limited edition in deluxe full-colour high-grade reverse-board jacket."

Artist:	DVA FEAT. FATIMA
Title:	Just Vybe (Soule:Power Mix)/Step 2 Funk
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	HDB 040EP

"Scratcha DVA is back on Hyperdub for the second time this year. On the lead track here 'Just Vybe,' he has borrowed Fatima from Eglo Records to grace the tune with her distinctive vocals. 'Just Vybe' is a very 'pop' moment for Hyperdub. It combines the stuttering funky drums of Natty (DVA's previous release for the label) as its template, and adds a big synth-y melody of which Stevie Wonder would be proud, plus Fatima's rich, melodic and reflective lyrics. The retro musical depth plus Fatima's soulful voice combine in an unexpectedly fresh and unusual way with the abstract house of DVA's tough dance floor production."

Artist:	LV & OKMALUMKOOLKAT
Title:	Boomslang/Zharp
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	HDB 041EP

"LV made this tough Kwaito house-inspired 12" after hooking up with Smiso Zwane, aka Okmalumkoolkat, from the Cape Town group Dirty Paraffin in South Africa at the end of last year. LV and Smiso played and recorded together and Smiso's raps were taken back to LV's musical lab in South London, dissected and reassembled, and these two tracks were the result. 'Boomslang' is possibly one of the most infectious tracks Hyperdub has ever released. Built around Smiso's slurred, gravelly vocal raps, its tough galloping drums, sliding cartoonish melody, techy stabs and bubbling analogue riffs work together to give the whole thing a weightless, spacey energy. 'Zharp' is a stranger but still catchy track. Smiso's vocals are chopped up, pitched up and down, repeated and stretched into weird melodies, with little synth interludes breaking them up, and sparse kicks and claps providing a persistent rhythm."

Artist:	TERROR DANJAH
Title:	Grand Opening (Undeniable EP 1)
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	HDB 045EP

"Three contrasting cuts from Grime Super Producer Terror Danjah's Hyperdub debut CD Undeniable, housed in a color jacket replicating the album's lush sleeve artwork. The first track, aptly titled 'Grand Opening,' pits Dream Mclean's masterful myth-making lyrics and uber-brags against portentous choral samples and jabbing bass synths. 'Story Ending' contrasts in mood and feeling, opening with lush trance string arrangements and off-beat kicks and scattered snares laced by an R&B vocal, before the track breaks into some seriously warped synths."

Artist:	TERROR DANJAH
Title:	Minimal Dub (Undeniable EP 2)
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	HDB 046EP

"The second EP taken from Terror Danjah's Hyperdub debut CD Undeniable features three different styled cuts landing for the vinyl lovers. 'Minimal Dub' starts proceedings, switching between half-time and full pelt with stop-start drums and a catchy rubber band-like melody played out in the bass. But it's the unexpected tech breakdown in the middle, and the synth-line that appears on the drop that makes this the dance floor slayer that it's rapidly become. Its growing momentum has already been infecting ears across genres."

Artist:	TERROR DANJAH
Title:	S.O.S. (Undeniable EP 3)
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	HDB 047EP

"The third EP taken from Terror Danjah's Undeniable CD kicks off with one of the big surprises of the album, the inimitable genre-traversing 'S.O.S.' with a simple melodic riff played out over drum patterns that shift up in down in rhythm and tempo, grinding to a halt in the middle of the track before starting up again. 'Sonar (Selassi Mix)' is a beatless mix of Terror's classic grime riddim 'Sonar,' where the originals rhythmic fx and melody pulse in and out of the mix creating strange smeared textures as sounds rub against each other."

Artist:	TERROR DANJAH
Title:	Leave Me Alone (Undeniable EP 4)
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	HDB 048EP

"The fourth and final EP taken from Terror Danjah's Undeniable CD opens with the amazing 'Leave Me Alone' featuring Terror's old vocal spar Bruza. This time it's different though - instead of his usual cockney mateyness, Bruza's reflecting on his bad mood. 'All I Wanna Do' is the album's densest track, featuring East End singer / songwriter Lauren Mason, who complements Terror's moody music with a forlorn and angry vocal about a break-up, Terror editing her lines into strange rhythmic shapes which rub against the subtle trap-doors and fills of his accompaniment."

Artist:	FUNKYSTEPZ
Title:	Fuller/Hurricane Riddim
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	HDB 049EP

"Funkystepz are a collective of house producers from North London, with a show on Rinse FM and a string of self-released underground hits under their belts. They're definitely some of the producers to watch out for this year. After a period of trial and testing on dubplate by DJs like Kode9 and Marcus Nasty, this first release for Hyperdub doesn't mess about. 'Fuller' is a dancefloor destroyer of a very British vintage. Hard without being rigid, with a cold, elastic sense of melody that bounces and snaps around the midrange between the bass and snares. Tempered by an occasional organ stab, it's one of those tracks that will lively up any club straight away, doing away with the forced euphoria of a lot of contemporary dance music, and instead honing the harder-to-master skill of energetic intensity and building anticipation. 'Hurricane Riddim' takes the listener through a number of contrasting moods simply but effectively. Opening with heavy orchestral stabs and military snares reminiscent of classic grime, the addition of a complicated, snaking bassline gives the track a jump up feel, and the eight-bar aggression gives way to sections of orchestral calm and a sad but bouncy piano melody."

Artist:	OSSIE
Title:	Set The Tone
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	HDB 050EP

"The EP starts with 'Set The Tone'. It's been a feature of Kode9's sets, and doesn't fail to get bodies moving. The track opens with a dazzling lattice of Latin percussion over a driving, off beat kick drum, before the song breaks into an infectious vocoder accompanied by lush Rhodes chords. It's one of those songs that manages to mix the worlds of dance music abstraction and catchy song writing without falling into obvious tropes. 'The Power Of Love' mixes similar elements in a completely different way, zoning into a more Masters At Work vibe. Here a short vocoder repeat and swelling synths roll out over a big bassline and a swung garagish drum pattern, but it's the depth of production that really builds the intensity here, as unexpected elements such as huge orchestral strings and spooked synth lines are woven in and out."

Artist:	D.O.K.
Title:	West Coast
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	HDB 051EP

"East London grime producer D.O.K has been something like Terror Danjah's evil twin since the early 2000s, when Terror and D.O.K. shared many EPs and production credits together on key early grime label Aftershock. More recently, they worked together on 'Pro Plus' from Terror's recent Undeniable album, and D.O.K.'s Golden Axe EP was the inaugural release last summer on Terror's own Hardrive imprint. These tracks for his debut solo Hyperdub EP are sleazily deranged grime; West Coast, which features extra input from Terror Danjah, has a half-time, low-riding head-nod feel that references classic G-Funk 'funky worm' style lead synth, and manages to sound simultaneously melodic and like a swarm of angry wasps. He lays this basic template over a complex stop-start detailed eight bar style pattern that reminds of the jagged edges of early computer game music, but with the strange swing and double-time fills of a prime Timbaland record."

Artist:	HYPE WILLIAMS
Title:	Kelly Price W8 Gain Vol. II
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	HDB 052EP

"Kelly Price W8 Gain Vol.II EP is the four track Hyperdub debut from Hype Williams, a group with two core members who have spawned a steadily growing labyrinth of hermetic, audio/visual surrealism, and have attracted the attention of many inquisitive and occasionally confused eyes and ears. Hype Williams' hazy aesthetic gives these tracks an opiated glow from the get go. 'Rise Up' buries Inga Copeland's soft untrained vocal in slow kicks and the most warm, ecstatic chords this side of early New Jersey Garage. The rough dub feel and hand punched drums of 'Boss Man' are matched with cloud-like Detroit chords and smudged melodies that sound like they're borrowed off a lost Wiley Sino-Grime classic."

Artist:	WALTON
Title:	Aggy
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	HDB 053EP

"Sam Walton is the 20-year-old Mancunian producer behind this Hyperdub debut, an EP exploring four original experiments with the funky house sound, always keeping the emphasis on energy. 'Aggy' kicks things off by perfectly blending the raw, hard aggression of grime with the tight disciplined micro-syncopations of funky house. 'Mangled Riddim' runs a bassline that sounds like a rubber band being twanged accompanied by spacious toms and 808 kicks and claps, while '808 Vibzin's mix of swinging 808 claps and claviers with sunshine synths and xylophone sounds like classic blissed out Midwest '90s house music. 'Skrilla' on the other hand mixes tough off-beat 'funky drums and rhythmic stabs, simultaneously recalling grime's sparseness and the chilly toughness of Northern bleep house."

Artist:	KING MIDAS SOUND
Title:	Goodbye Girl
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	HDB 054EP

"This new single features two of the most upfront tracks from King Midas Sound's album project Without You, featuring re-voiced and re-versioned mutations of their debut album Waiting For You. Side A is a mix of 'Goodbye Girl' by Kuedo aka former Vex'd producer Jamie Teasdale, who drags the original's domestic melodrama through a fatigued waltz of droning synths and stumbling drums. Side AA carries a radical new take on 'Earth A Kill Ya' by Mala from Digital Mystikz."

Artist:	TERROR DANJAH
Title:	U Make Me Feel
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	HDB 058EP

"Terror Danjah's first Hyperdub single of 2011 is an amazing coup, pulling out of the archive a near-perfect collaboration with singer Meleka, where Terror tempers his grimey production, veering uncharacteristically towards featherlight lushness, while lacing Meleka's sensuous, pitched charisma with a deceptively vicious sub. Terror's crisp, asymmetric bed of stuttering drums remind us of a time gone by when Timbaland's falter-funk R&B rhythm programming was an inspiration. 'Morph 2' featuring D.O.K. is the yang to 'U Make Me Feel's yin, drawing gruff, serious strings through hall of mirrors micro-edits, dragging the riff backwards, punctuating it with gremlin chuckles and 'woo's and running the pattern against a tense bleepy melody. It's a dark and vertiginous rush with all the anger of grime at it's ferocious peak."

Artist:	KODE9 & THE SPACEAPE
Title:	Memories Of The Future
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.50
Catalog #:	HYP 001CD

After the widely acclaimed Burial debut album, Hyperdub throw out another tangential long player, a mutant-satellite to the grime/dubstep scenes, this time from label boss Kode9 and resident vocalist Spaceape. Memories Of The Future features 14 dread-filled flash-backs and flash-forwards from a world trembling in an echology of fear. The future has collapsed in on the present and spaceship earth is on route to nowhere. The album brings together the long sought after Hyperdub debut single "Sine of the Dub" from early 2004 with other minor classics such as "Kingstown," recent singles "Backward" and "9 Samurai" as well as 10 new tracks of uneasy, sometimes queasy listening. Time-scrambling dubtronic poet Spaceape circulates around the lyrical black hole he calls home with tales of cultural addiction, urban paralysis, bioterror, smoldering flesh and psycho-affective meltdown. Yet they both manage to conjure up a strange joy in these hallucinations of dystopia which infect the real present. "Glass" eases you into a false sense of insecurity, a synthetic sea shanty for a spaceship adrift. "Victims" descends down through the dub chamber and resurfaces towards the "dread pop" of "Curious" (featuring debut appearance from Ms. Haptic), and the "dread hop" of "Backward" and "Portal." Spaceape's dark dictations and demented refrains form the consistent thread through 9's loping rhythms, deranged melodies and walls of muffled, driving sub-bass. Alongside the singularly infamous "Sine" are more doses of uniquely sticky, claustrophobic and katatonic bass poetry of "Nine" and "Correction." The album closes with the cold shiver of "Lime" and the astro-dancehall of "Quantum." But as Spaceape reminds us in "Glass," "It's the beginning, not the end, that we have to reach last."

Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	HYP 010EP

"'Otherman' backed with 'Love Is The Drug' is the lead single from Kode9 And The Spaceape's second long player Black Sun. Coming from oblique angles, these two songs introduce the breadth of the album. 'Otherman' opens with a sombre, arpeggiated march built from wavering analogue synth drones, lulling the listener until Spaceape's cracked communique interrupts the flow with downtrodden descriptions, wrapped around lop-sided rhythms. Sombre, flatline funk."
