Kode 9
Uh / OK
The UK scene has changed immeasurably since Hyperdub boss Kode9 released his 'Black Sun' Album
two years ago. As dubstep, grime and funky mutated, so his own tastes gradually shifted, with his DJ sets
increasingly drawing for the Stateside sounds of trap-inspired hip-hop and footwork. His new mix CD for Rinse, Rinse.22, documents the point at which his personal history in grime, house and jungle collides with those new sounds. The two tracks on this new 12" for Rinse - 'Uh' (which features on Rinse:22) and 'OK' (Exclusive) - occupy that same zone between genres, finding him uncovering a thrilling point of contact between grime, broken UK house and the disorienting lurch of trap.
