In celebration of a decade in operation, the Hyperdub label has been releasing a series of compilations, each of which focus on a different aspect of the label’s broad stylistic catalog. The upcoming third edition, 10.3, reportedly follows the “melancholy vapor trail” mapped by longstanding label affiliate Burial’s beatless atmospherics, and assembles new material from the likes of Lee Gamble, Fatima Al Qadiri, Dean Blunt, and The Bug alongside older cuts from Laurel Halo, King Midas Sound, and label head Kode9, among others.
According to the press release, the 23 tracks that make up the compilation emerged peripherally to the label’s dancefloor-oriented main agenda, and have largely been “reduced to a gaseous remainder free of drums and often basslines, leaving only synthesised, sampled, or looped textures that often hang like a cloud of gas, or rotate without friction like mini cyclones.”
10.3 lands on September 22, and our coverage of Hyperdub’s first and second installments in the series can be found here and here, respectively.
