A true powerhouse in bass music, Hyperdub is often cast in a dread fuelled visage.
However the label also has a subtle, soulful side. Toasting their tenth anniversary, the second in a series of multi-artist compilations is set to focus on the label's softer side.
Browsing the tracklisting, it seems to be packed with invention. Opening with a Dean Blunt and Inga Copeland collaboration, the album then moves in Burial's 'Shell of Light'.
Cooly G donates a new track, while Canadian signing Jessy Lanza contributes two tracks – '5785021' alongside 'You And Me'.
Morgan Zarate contributes a lost dub, with 'Sticks & Stones' boasting appearances from both Eska and Ghostface Killah.
Ending with a collaboration between label head Kode9 and Inga Copeland, 'Hyperdub 10.2' showcases an intriguing, sometimes overlooked aspect of the label's output.
