    Kode9 'Escapology Vinyl LP

    £19.49

    Kode9's most ambitious work yet as a multi-disciplinary artist, ‘Escapology’ is the soundtrack album to the sonic fiction ‘Astro-Darien’, itself soon to be released on Hyperdub sub-label Flatlines.

    Already available as a special edition CD and digital album, we
    now offer a 1000 piece limited pressing on lucent orange vinyl, in spot-gloss sleeve with additional artwork by Optigram.

    ‘Escapology’ reconfigures ‘Astro-Darien's tense, off-world atmospheres into slices of high definition, asymmetric club rhythms, woven through thrilling sound design and vertiginous sonics.

    “A record brimming with ideas and novel sounds, departing from genre exercises to offer something genuinely different.” - Album of the Month -DJ Mag

    “[Kode9’s] most dextrous and intuitive club music yet, full of mind-bending rhythmic nuggets.
    He's still the brilliant master behind the scenes, quietly one-upping everyone else.” - Resident Advisor

    “The 15 tracks become proper dancefloor scorchers … ‘Escapology’ builds a futuristic jumble of aesthetics and sound
    design.” - The Wire

    In late 2017 Hyperdub released Diggin In The Carts', a compilation put together by Nick Dwyer and Kode9 of pioneering and rare Japanese video game music from the 1980s and 1990s.

    Since then, from Sonar Festival in Barcelona to Liquid Rooms in Tokyo, Kode9 has been touring a live audio-visual set in collaboration with visuals from anime legend Koji Morimoto, who also designed the artwork for the original compilation.Finally, on this first new Kode9 EP since 2014, a handful of these remixes see the light of day.

    9 rivets his 80/160bpm rhythms onto these classic 8bit and 16bit melodies, re-animating the Steve Reich-ian arpeggios of Soshi Hosoi, the grimelike horn fanfares of Yuzo Koshiro, the sour pads of Koichi Ishaibashi, and pitching Tadahiro Nitta down into a slow building, frantic low end grind.

    Sleeved in artwork by Konx-om-Pax, adapted from the visuals from the live A/V performance.

    Tracklisting:
    Side A:
    1. Soshi Hosoi - Mister Diviner [The Mahjong Touhaiden] Kode9 Remix
    2. Koichi Ishibashi - Bad Data [Dezaemon] Kode9 Remix

    Side B:
    3. Yuzo Koshiro - Temple [Actraiser] Kode9 Remix
    4. Tadahiro Nitta - An-Un (Ominous Clouds) [Xak II] Kode9 Remix

    Kode9 'Nothing'

    £11.99

    Nothing' is Kode9's first solo album, and is about nothing.

    The album throws horror soundtracks, sampled library and j-pop records into a no man's land between grime, early dubstep and Chicago footwork. Mostly instrumental, it zigzags between hypnotic, downcast loops, growling drones, and jagged cut-ups of androids gone haywire, threaded through twitchy, transatlantic rhythms and sub-bass inaudible through your laptop speakers.

    Building slowly, but more upbeat than previous albums, many of these tracks have more in common with Kode9's recent singles from the last few years than they do with his two previous albums with collaborator The Spaceape, 'Memories of the Future' (2006) and 'Black Sun' (2012).

    Yet 'Nothing' is haunted both by The Spaceape's presence (he died in 2014 after a prolonged battle with cancer), on Third Ear Transmission', a communiqué from a zone of digital immortality, and his absence, on 'Void', whose spaces were originally intended for the vocalist, and Nothing Lasts Forever', which closes the album with a 9 minute silence.

    2. Notel
    3. Void
    4. Holo
