Photo by Georgina CookWe very much enjoyed the DJ set by Kode 9 with the Spaceape on the microphone in the Trouw last month. (you can read about it here.) These guys are back again this month playing in the Bimhuis. This time they will be doing a live set so it should be quite different to the previous gig. What’s more they have a new album coming out in June so you should get to hear some of the new material.
The lineup for night originally also featured Hudson Mohawke, somebody that I was very much looking forward to seeing. Unfortunately Hudson Mohawke will not be there (or Aardvarck) but support will still be provided by Dimlite, Cinnaman and Juha. Hailing from Switzerland and on the Sonar Kollektiv record label Dimlite is also somebody that I have also wanted to see live. If you go to the ViralRadio and BeatDimensions parties you should already know Cinnaman and Juha.
We posted the following on these guys recently so stop reading now if you have read it before and skip to the Dimite video below.
With the voice of the Spaceape that comes from the heart of darkness and together with the pitch-black minimal sound scape of Kode9 these guys bring the post apocalypse sound of the urban future. They are on Hyperdub records, who also brought us Burial. Hyperdub was named dubstep label of the year in 2007 by Pitchfork. Kode9 (Steve Goodman) runs the label.
The music is rooted in dubstep & grime and travels through dub reggae, dark jungle, electronica/IDM and 90’s rave, the sound is deep! Their 2006 album “Memories Of The Future” was lauded by the critics and featured in the Wire magazine top 50 of the year.
