Gig Poster 'Kode 9' Shanghai

Poster for 'Sub-Culture present: Kode 9 (Hyperdub)', designed by Chris Tomoya.

See what Sub-Culture says about Kode 9:

"Sub-Culture are very excited to welcome back one of our favourite artists of the 21st century, the one and only KODE 9.

Although born in the city of Glasgow, Scotland, Kode9 is genetically a junglist. He started DJing in 1990 at the age of 16, playing a fusion of reggae, breaks, hip hop, jazz, funk and house. He was subsequently swept up by the emergence of the breakbeat hardcore, jungle and drum’n’bass scenes, and has been rinsin’ breaks, ragga chat and bubblin’ basslines ever since. DJing across the UK during the 90s, from Edinburgh, to Coventry, Kode9 migrated to London in 1997, suffering infection to darker strains of the emergent 2step garage scene, and after forming his label/collective Hyperdub in 2004, electronic music would never be the same again.

With a roster of people including Burial, Ikonika, The Bug, King Midas Sound, Darkstar, Zomby and many, many more, Hyperdub consistently puts out some of the most forward thinking and futuristic music out there. His recent mixtape release for DJ Kicks shows just how flexible and imaginative Kode 9’s tastes and skills are. A true pioneer and manipulator of soundwaves, once you’ve experienced one of Kode 9’s set, you will never be the same again."
