va - 5: five years of hyperdub

http://pitchfork.com/news/36335-burial-flying-lotus-joker-on-hyperdub-anniversary-comp/

The London-based dubstep label Hyperdub is now old enough to get into kindergarten. Over the past five years, Hyperdub has put out records by a hell of a lot of that genre's greatest artists, including Burial, Kode9, Joker, Zomby, and Darkstar. And the forthcoming 2xCD comp 5: 5 Years of Hyperdub will collect both new and/or classic material from all of them, plus tracks from kindred sprits such as Mala, Martyn, and Flying Lotus. And yes, to answer your question, that means a new Burial song. It's called "Fostercare". Get ready.

5 is due October 19 in the UK and the very next day in the U.S. This summer and fall, Hyperdub is putting out a series of 12" singles featuring new material from many of Hyperdub's artists. The first disc of 5 will collect all those tracks, with some bonus jams. The second disc, meanwhile, will function as a sort of greatest-hits, collecting older joints like Burial's "Distant Lights", Joker's "Digidesign", and Kode9 and the Spaceape's remix of the Specials' "Ghost Town".

I have a passing, lazy interest in dubstep, so perhaps this is the sort of reputable compilation that would warrant my consideration.

i don't listen to as much dubstep as i used to, but hyperdub, skull disco and DMZ are the finest labels in dubstep (even though DMZ have done a skam and fucking never release anything any more) in my opinion

lol they're releasing this compilation as if Hyperdub was an important label. Everybody only cares about Burial, while the rest remains infamous.

i disagree, zomby/joker/mala are a pretty big deal within the scene

that ikonika/darkstar split featured here is some good shit

and king midas sound is kevin martin/the bug

Fine, maybe you're right... But Hyperdub would be 100 times less known if it was not for Burial...

mala is a lovely, honest, humble man

The CD has leaked along with parts 1-4 of the vinyl collections.

Burial would be 100 times less known if not for Pitchfork.

...which is the only reason why people are downloading the leak.

Edit: the beats in Fostercare sound familiar, I wonder why... LOL OBVIOUSLY, BURIAL USES THE SAME DRUMKIT, WHATEVER HAPPENS!!!

just listened to fostercare via youtube and it was a bit underwhelming for me

im sure most other people will go crazy for it because it has the good old female voOoCAAAaaaAaAaL sAaMplLlLeeeeee

Infamous is not the antonym of famous. Are you suggesting the hyperdub roster is notorious? Or simply not famous?

I meant not famous, sorry for the confusion. I don't see how an artist who releases one 12-incher with 2 tracks can gain much attention, which is the case with many of Hyperdub's acts. I don't think this "5 years of Hyperdub" compilation means a lot, sincerely.

haha

u just 3 amigo'd urself amigo

plenty of good tunes from great artists on this comp

Because a lot of their catalogue is really fucking good music you berk. Hyperdub is ALWAYS breaking new ground, the quality control they have as a label is superb, and they've been there from day one. I would suggest you do your research a bit more, even if you don't like what they put out, they are a massively well regarded label.

2004 is new day one

Haha, you know what I mean, as far as dubstep goes when it was beginning to establish itself properly.

yes,

id like some more king midas sound,

He was right the first time, most of these artists are now infamous....
