FRIDAY MARCH 28th sees the Irish debut performance for both KODE 9 and VARIOUS PRODUCTIONS in
what promises to be a night of pure dubwise scintillation.
KODE 9
Kode 9 is one of the absolute heavyweights of the 21st century London bass community.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.

VARIOUS PRODUCTIONS(various productions/XL)
Publicity shy duo, Adam Phillips and Ian Carter, aka Various Productions, defy orthodox classification.
Their planet-size tunes straddle the genres of underground UK electronics, folk and pop creating a maelstrom of
lush melodies, razor-steppin beats, beautiful vocals, dextrous bars and intoxicatingly heaving b-lines.
Their collaborations with varied singers and MCs and their masterful production has enabled them to sculpt their own inimitable sound.
The series of self-released 7"s that droppped throughout 2005/6 ('Hater'/'Biker Walk', 'Sir'/'In this', 'Phortune'/'Limbs', 'Bruk'/'Home' etc.)
and the titanic longplayer, 'The World is Gone' (2006)
(with some of the most jaw-dropping artwork in recent memory) immediately rasied eyebrows and heartbeats and
drew accolades wide and far for its futuristic amalgamtion of styles.
Various Productions are no imitators, they are true originators.
Not to be missed...
