Hyperdub Showcase with Kode9, LV and Scratcha DVA

Sub Club is not a venue which often strays from the familiar grounds of house-and-techno-land on a Friday night but as part of their quarter-century celebrations they’ve taken a calculated leap of faith by booking in a Hyperdub showcase this month. The label, started in 2004, has irrefutably evolved into one of the most exciting and innovative electronic music labels around and will will always be credited (and thanked) for unleashing Burial on the world.

Although well known for bringing underground artists to the public eye, Hyperdub is perhaps best known for its founder Steve Goodman's alter ego Kode9 who will be bringing an eclectic mix of grime and dubstep, with heavy-sub bass, along with his two pals, LV and Scratcha DVA. As one of Hyperdub's original artists, LV have been stamping their unique sound on a plethora of genres and you will either find a set full of nostalgia or a fully-blown education on British rave culture, while Scratcha will be mixing together songs that you had not only forgotten existed, but also the extent to which you loved them. The support is equally heavyweight with High Sheen's poster boy Rakasha as the man tasked with luring the early birds to the dance floor.
