Getting to see Kode9, owner of the awesome Hyperdub label, and a pioneering dubstep DJ/Producer in his own right, in Perth was something to look forward to indeed. And the night did not disappoint.
Arriving late and thus only catching the very end of Harmonic 313's set was to be the only disappointment of the night, as Kode9 took all present on a dark journey. And I mean literally dark. What was initially thought to be a mistake on behalf of the lighting crew later turned out to be a request of Steve Goodman, to leave him surrounded in darkness, which definitely added to the mystique of the night.
Kode 9 likes to keep it dark - his decks can just be made out here.Playing a range of bass heavy tracks, including not only dubstep but also oldschool jungle and UK garage, the Villa dance floor was rife with stepping the whole night long, as Kode9 delivered an absolutely banging set.
Big ups to local boy Rekab who came on after Kode9 and continued the hectic pace, right up until sunrise.
