32 track double CD marking Hyperdub’s five years of life as a record label. Including a roster of heavyweights such as Burial, Cooly G, Darkstar, Flying Lotus, Ikonika, Joker & Ginz, Samiyam, King Midas Sound, Kode9 & The Spaceape, Mala, Martyn, and Zomby.

October 2009 heralds the release of ‘5’, a 32 track double CD marking Hyperdub’s five years of life as a record label.
Honouring past, present and future in equal measure, ‘5’ is comprised of one disc of prior highlights, and one
of freshly-composed material contributed by Hyperdub artists and close friends. The first disc contains 16 brand
new compositions from a heavyweight line-up which includes Burial, Cooly G, Darkstar, Flying Lotus, Ikonika, Joker & Ginz, King Midas Sound, Kode9 & The Spaceape, Mala, Martyn, and Zomby. The second disc features 16 key
tunes from the Hyperdub back catalogue, many making their first ever appearance on CD and long since sold out of
their original 12” vinyl versions. Also included is Kode9 & The Spaceape’s previously-download-only ‘Fukkaz’, and
their semi-legendary unreleased reading of ‘Ghost Town’, in which The Specials’ anthemic lament is given a similar
deconstructed bass treatment as that inflicted upon Prince’s ‘Sign O’ The Times’ to such dramatic and remarkable
effect on the label’s debut release in 2004.
