PLAYLIST: An Introduction to Hyperdub

A playlist introducing newcomers to the illustrious British electronica label Hyperdub, to mark its 15th anniversary.

REVIEW: Burial – ‘Claustro / State Forest’ EP (Hyperdub)

It’s nothing new or revolutionary, but Burial’s latest EP ‘Claustro / State Forest’ is the latest instalment in a fine body of work.

REVIEW: Flying Lotus – ‘Flamagra’ (Warp Records)

The first Flying Lotus album in five years, ‘Flamagra’ sees Steven Ellison exploring his life-long passion for hip-hop but plays it slightly too safe on occasion.

REVIEW: Tyler, The Creator – ‘IGOR’ (Columbia / Sony)

Tyler, The Creator takes the creative template he established on ‘Flower Boy’ to the next level on stunning new album ‘IGOR’.

REVIEW: Zomby – ‘Vanta’ EP (Bedouin Records)

After so long at the cutting-edge of post-dubstep, it’s strange to hear Zomby happy to stand still and luxuriate on new EP ‘Vanta’.

REVIEW: ScHoolboy Q – ‘CrasH Talk’ (Interscope / Top Dawg)

On ‘CrasH Talk’, ScHoolboy Q reflects on a decade in the rap game with a more mature effort, despite some unnecessary filler.

REVIEW: SASAMI – ‘SASAMI’ (Domino)

Sasami Ashworth’s satisfying debut album combines varied instrumentation and well-meshed harmonies with bare emotion.

REVIEW: Little Simz – ‘GREY Area’ (AGE 101 / AWAL)

On her debut album proper ‘GREY Area’, Little Simz demonstrates why she’s been one of UK hip-hop’s most hyped properties for so long.
