The British label Hyperdub, founded by Kode9 in 2004, has been a defining force in electronic music for two decades. With roots in the early dubstep scene, it has evolved into a platform for a wide range of genres, from experimental beats to footwork and futuristic R&B. This special night is a collaboration with Rotterdam-based label Amen, known for its focus on breakbeat and jungle.
Cultural Impact
Over the past twenty years, Hyperdub has cemented itself as one of the most forward-thinking labels in electronic music. What began as a home for the deep, dystopian sounds of early dubstep quickly became a catalyst for innovation. The label not only brought the iconic sound of Burial to the forefront but also embraced the high-speed rhythms of footwork and the experimental productions of artists like Fatima Al Qadiri and Laurel Halo—masters of rhythmic manipulation and genre fusion. Hypnotic basslines, unpredictable beats, and futuristic soundscapes make for a listening and dancefloor experience like no other. Experience the sound of Hyperdub in this unique club night at Melkweg, in collaboration with Amen.
