New Single From Kode9 and the Spaceape

































As you may have inevitably read everywhere, Scottish producer and Hyperdub label head (and philosophy doctorate holder) Steve Goodman aka Kode9, along with frequently collaborating MC the Spaceape, are putting out a follow-up to their 2006 release, Memories of the Future, this April. Our bladders are weak with excitement, yes.








Black Sun is expected to be an exhibition of the unfettered stylistic range the brothers-in-collaboration are known for, often leg-dangling on a fence between genres--but always proving ambilateral mastery.

The lead single 'Otherman' is a precursive number: Spaceape's streamlined dub-minded rhyming through interference behind vacillating synth drone-built broken cords. Massive.

The b-side, 'Love is the Drug', features Shanghai vocalist Cha Cha, who appears on 4 tracks on the LP.





Black Sun drops April 4th (UK) and April 5th (US). Pre-order it on cargorecords.

Tracklist:
01 Black Smoke [ft. Cha Cha]
02 Promises
03 Am I
04 Love Is the Drug [ft. Cha Cha]
05 Neon Red Sign [ft. Cha Cha]
06 The Cure [ft. Cha Cha]
07 Black Sun (Partial Eclipse Mix)
08 Hole in the Sky
09 Otherman
10 Green Sun
11 Bullet Against Bone
12 Kryon [ft. Flying Lotus]


And because producers in academia should always be applauded, check Dr. Goodman's book on psychoacoustics and his idea of "politics of frequency", Sonic Warfare: Sound, Affect, and the Ecology of Fear, published in 2009 by MIT Press.
