Kode 9

introducing > KODE 9, dubstep’s original bass provocateur one night only, SATURDAY 4th JULY @ ZEN.

What can we say..KODE 9 is straight dubstep royalty!
Headhoncho of HYPERDUB, his critically imperative record label that has unleashed brit award nominee BURIAL amongst crucial 12’s from the likes of Zomby, The Bug, Darkstar, Ikonika, Joker, LD and many more!

As a dj, KODE’s sets are legenedary.Beginning at the home of dubstep FWD as their first ever resident DJ to playing to 8000 people at SONAR, his ability to infuse dub, jungle and techno into future bass riddims is without peer

And not forgetting, his production credits, having released his own full length album on HYPERDUB along with groundbreaking 12′’s on Tempa, Soul Jazz, Ninja Tune and a shit load more…

and if that resume aint silly enough, man is a fuckin professor, teaching Masters of Sonic Culture at University of East London…OK, man is legend, go google him!

Sick Cycle & Urban Terror Unit - 2009 Corrosive Noise Tour

Fri 10 July - Double Happy, Christchurch
Fri 17 July - Phatclub, Nelson
Sat 25 July - Bath St, Dunedin
Sat 01 Aug - Subculture, Queenstown

SICK CYCLE

Sick Cycle began as two separate producers, Michael West and Levon Maeder, each on their own path in music. They both attended the same school and the same audio engeering course. Michael first released “Meditation” under the name Sick Cycle in 2006, playing live on his MicroKorg Synth & Acoustic Guitar and producing the drums on PC. Michael and Levon finally collaborated together in 2007, and havent looked back since.
Sick Cycle’s dubstep assault began in 2008, with little knowledge. To their amazement, Rottun Recordings, run by Canadian producer “Excision”, signed the tunes that came forth. “Concept” is out this year as a 12″ Vinyl on Rottun Recordings, as well as “Hive Mind” and “Tweak Frenzy” as MP3 downloads via beatport.com. For more information please visit www.rottunrecordings.com
This year for Sick Cycle involves their second CD album with some special guest remixes, and their second New Zealand Tour - this time with Dunedins best dj crew “Urban Terror Unit”. Last years tour saw Sick Cycle performing alongside melbourne based producer Nasty Genius, and the results were outstanding.
Sick Cycle also run “Corrosive Noise” dark music events in New Zealand. The events feature New Zealand musicians & producers who focus primarily on darker destructive music. Christchurch events are held at Double Happy in the central city, and in the past have featured artists like Nanotek, Organikismness, Kilotone, Habit, The Facecutters, & Urban Terror Unit. Keep an eye out for these events as they only happen two or three times a year.
There is no doubt there are big things on the horizon for Sick Cycle, they are passionate about what they do and are dedicated to noise.
