Milanese was middling. Grand when he's doing the dubstep, but he started deviating into breakbeat and journeyman techno muck after a half hour.

Loads of young 'uns in attendance. Dubstep's tipping point was last night it seems.

Betamax have always sucked. IMO.

not me. i had to go home after kling klang.

 

[Unclealo]

Betamax weren't able to soundcheck as they were playing 2 gigs last night so the sound was not good for them. Also due to things running late we had to hoosh them on and off pretty quick

Savage night in the Vaults. Nice and loud.

€5.40 for a pint of Guinness though!

 

[TadhgÓRudaí]

Savage night, after the first half hour or so the Various Production set was incredible. But holy fuck the price of a pint down there is shockin. Fuckin ridiculous.

 

[jimmybreeze]

Deadly night alright,really enjoyed this.
Once the price of a pint of guinness goes over a fiver it really does become extortion.
Also,what the fuck was going on with the cloakroom?
The girl wanted e9
to hang up my top and two jackets,on the one hanger.Fuxake

KODE 9


Kode 9 is one of the absolute heavyweights of the 21st century London bass community.
Of all the lonely guys with ridiculous stage names involved in this small London scene, this one is definitely in the top 30... of the last 8 years.

His oceanic meta-dub productions have continuously eroded and exploded the sonic boundaries
of dubstep through his idiosyncratic marriage of spectral atmospherics, ethereal melodies and
bone-shaking sub bass frequencies.
He uses some settings on his keyboard that sound too horrible for most to risk the obvious association with shite.

A DJ throughout the 90s Kode 9 was drawn to London by the dark allure of the 2-step
scene at the end of the last century. Swallowed by the metropolis' bass culture, he immersed
himself in the emerging sounds of grime and the south London phenomenon that became known as dubstep.
Having failed at his last career (approximately 8 years ago), he carefully selected the least popular and least melodic tributary of an already tiny scene, so young that his B-movie-scientist knob twisting could sneak, unnoticed, into the expanding definition of an already confused sound.

His first relase, 'Fat Larry's Skank', dropped on the seminal label Tempa in 2002 and in 2004 he
featured heavily on Rephlex's 'Grime 2' compilation alongside Loefah and the Digital Mystikz.
He managed to find other freaks who would not only tolerate his awful noise, but were willing to use some of their trust fund to help him burn 12CDs and hastily laserjet some cover art donated by a guy they knew doing a graphic design course called Robert.

His own imprint, Hyperdub, also born in 2004, becam an instant force with a string of gigantic releases
such as 'Spit', 'Sign of the Dub'/'Stalker' ' 9 Samurai', 'Kingstown' etc.
The dub poetics of his collaborations with Daddy Gee aka Space Ape, have drawn particular acclaim
for their millenium dread ital-ity and their 2006 album 'Memories of the Future' is crucial.
Somehow the name "Hyperdub" had not previously been used too much by 2004, so he ran amok making up similarly stoner/Manga inspired titles, designed to trick unsuspecting listeners to risk the first 12 seconds of several GIGANTIC releases (more than 20 copies each were traded to record shops for credit).

His refixing abilities are also much sought after and he has reworked tracks by the likes of
Burial, The Bug, Junior Boys and many more
Having saved some of his custom keyboard configurations, he could effortlessly apply the same shite-wash to the bland emissions of anyone too stoned to protest.

Aside from production duties the man's DJ skills have been honed from being at the helm of the definitive
dubstep and grime weekly, FWD in Plastic People and his weekly home on the airwaves; a Tuesday night
slot on the legendary pirate, Rinse FM.
He still has the financial acumen to realise that eviction can be avoided more effectively by occasionally playing other people's music for money.

We are absolutely hyped to be hosting Kode 9, as he is one of the most exciting and important artists
of the past decade. Skank out.
The fact that we are excited about this guy, says more about our industry experience and rubbish venue than about his 'skillz'. We've never had a foreigner before. Please come. (No refunds.)

 

[Wobbler]

Yeah, thought that was excellent.
