Hyperdub announce ‘Hyperdub 10.3’, the third of four 10th birthday compilations

Hyperdub's ongoing 10th birthday celebrations continues with 'Hyperdub 10.3', the third of four compilatons celebrating the label's back catalogue by mixing classic material with new tracks.

Where '10.1' looked at club tracks and '10.2' was Hyperdub gone pop, 'Hyperdub 10.3' looks at the label's atmospheric moments: the ambient, the drone, the beatless instrumentals, the abstract sketches, and so on. Featured on the compilation is new material from Kode9, The Bug, Dean Blunt, Inga Copeland, Lee Gamble, Cooly G, Fatima Al Qadiri, Ikonika, DJ Earl, and Jeremy Greenspan. There's also a clutch of older tracks from faces like Burial, Laurel Halo, and Darkstar.

As with '10.2', the tracks on the compilation weren't necessarily built for purpose. Rather, the unifying thread of Hyperdub artists making music like this over the years – quite unconsciously – was discovered retrospectively.

'Hyperdub 10.2' was our album of the week last week, and many of the artists contributing to it gave us a rundown of how its tracks were made for a track-by-track feature.
