What we say

Rating: ecstatic This record left our Ant feeling ecstatic.

I huge load of stock has just arrived and we're falling over boxes of records and what not.. The second 12" on Hyperdub this week comes from Kode 9 and The Spaceape. 'Konfusion' has the pair in fine form with the Ape dropping his brand of lyrical science and Kode 9 going all sci-fi. As you'd expect there's the mandatory fat ass bassline with theramin style synth hovering over it like some old B-movie scene on another planet. I'd love to hear this fucker cranked up to the max. It's not a huge step forward for Kode 9 but with each release he does something slightly different. This is a little more techy and less organic sounding. Dub on the flip for full soundsystem wreckage.

What the label says:

Kode9 & The Spaceape return with their first fresh collaboration since their scene-stealing ‘Memories Of The Future’ full length back in mid 2006, and a version excursion which also serves as a prelude to their new album due later in 2008. The instrumental to ‘Konfusion’, a breezy, almost horizontally reclined groove that drops like a ton of gold bricks wrapped in silk, was produced just after the ‘Memories…’ album was completed and has spent a year and half gestating on dubplate, featuring in edited form both on Kode9’s Sonar Mix CD of last summer of 2007 and his infamous November 2007 Rinse Fm back-to-back radio show with Flying Lotus. The instrumental was recently vocaled by a chorus of cloned Spaceapes via a glitching, interstellar walkie-talkie. A warm draft from a summer to come, and frothy man like cresta lemonade (ask yr dad).
