RIP Spaceape | October 3, 2014 |
Son Raw wrote this. Never would I have thought that I’d be writing two eulogies for Hyperdub artists in one year, but fate is cruel and reality is harsh. The Spaceape was of course, a brilliant poet and by all accounts, an incredible live performer before his battle against cancer denied us of his talents […]
Hyperdub at 10 | June 10, 2014 |
Son Raw is celebrating his 30th anniversary. There was no better place than Fabric to celebrate Hyperdub’s 10th anniversary. It was a little rude – half the people in attendance were seemingly there to pull or get off their heads, a little intense – the bass in room 2 threatened to disembowel more than a […]
Exclusive: DVA’s Hyperdub Colours mix | November 14, 2013 |
Son Raw just hit 500 followers. He’d like to thank the academy. He’s also lazy at recruiting followers. Like Mr. T, I pity the fool who attempts to categorize the madness put out by Hyperdub at any given moment. Kode9 is busy confounding European tastes by combining Juke with Trap, DJ Rashad and Spinn are […]
Jessy Lanza’s Analog Charms | September 11, 2013 |

But at the end of the day it’s a pop […]
DJ Rashad Gives Zero Fucks | August 7, 2013 |
Adam Wray is in Berlin. As S. Combs once said: you can hate him now. It’s a wonderful time to be an avid footwork fan. As the 15-year plus genre matures and its popularity grows globally, its core artists are pushing the sound upwards and outwards while settling deeper into their own unique styles. DJ […]
DJ Rashad gives no fucks | June 17, 2013 |
Son Raw bumps jams like this before breakfast. I have just been informed that DJ Rashad, in fact, gives no fucks. This goes against previous counts that placed the number of fucks given as slightly higher than zero, so we should all breathe a sigh of relief now that this egregious error has been corrected. […]
