Hyperdub, the venerable bass label run by Kode9 (read our 2011 interview with Steve Goodman here) known for quality releases covering UK funky, grime, hip-hop and footwork, has announced plans to celebrate its 10th anniversary in a big way with four compilations and various events taking place all over the world. The first compilation, a two-disc package titled Hyperdub 10.1 due out May 19, will feature new music from Kode9, Kuedo, DJ Rashad, Mala, Kyle Hall and others, with the second featuring older tracks from the imprint’s catalog including Burial, Cool G, Mark Pritchard and others. All of the parties take place in Europe, but it’s probably safe to bet that Hyperdub will be hitting North America and Asia to celebrate their milestone.
