Kode9 gives away new DJ-Kicks track
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 17 June 2010
Dubstep producer and head of the Hyperdub label, Kode9, has compiled the latest installment of !K7’s highly regarded ‘DJ-Kicks’ compilation series, which is out next week.
Kode9 says of the compilation: “Very simply, [the mix is] just a snapshot of my DJ sets at the first half of 2010. It’s definitely not an exploration of my musical heritage, but it’s not all new stuff. It probably signifies something about my relationship to dubstep that the mix only has a few dubstep tunes in it, and is instead a mix of UK funky, broken beat, dubstep, grime and some R&B”.
He continues: “I started DJing around nineteen years ago and, I don’t know, I just think that every few years I get a musical epiphany from an intense experience in a club or in something I hear that fills me with energy, information and inspiration to produce and DJ. After each one I spend the next few years trying to decipher what happened in that singular moment”.
Ahead of the release, !K7 are giving away a new track by the producer, entitled ‘You Don’t Wash (Dub)’. Download it here: www.kode9-djkicks.com/exclusive/
