My first official show on K Fm 106.9 after covering Kotahitanga with Katakah for a few weeks. K Fm is a low power station here in Auckland City. The “K” stands for “K’Road” (short for Karangahape), a cross between faded red light district, nightclub strip and vintage clothing mecca. Our shop is just accross the road from K Fm so it is super handy and they even serve top notch herbal tea, choice!

The much anticpated Kode9 tour of Australia and NZ kicks off in a few weeks time.
The absolute evolutionary godfather of dubstep, KODE 9 is on his way to Aotearoa to take everything you thought you knew about the sound and flip it around, bringing you symphony of sonic seduction!
Kode 9 has nurtured dubstep music since day one, shaping its definition through founding the record label HYPERDUB. This imprint has given artists BURIAL, ZOMBY, IKONIKA, FLYING LOTUS and KODE 9 the strong voices needed to deliver an even stronger message: music that drowns out your expectations and resonates with your emotions.
In 2006 the underground music world was astounded by Burials groundbreaking debut, which was awarded ‘Album of the Year’ status by THE WIRE magazine, and described as an absurdly addictive sonic opiate - a feat that would not have been possible without Kode’s support. Out of this success, the HYPERDUB label has brought many ruff and revolutionary artists to our consciousness, and is refusing to adopt a formulaic approach to the sound.
Kode’s critically acclaimed debut album, ‘Memories of the future’ featuring Spaceape, has also been at the forefront of his exploratory approach, establishing his role as an artist, author, and lecturer on audio culture. It’s an interest that spans from grime emcees waging war with a mic to the US army waging war with advanced sonic weaponry. “It’s about the use of sound as a weapon. It’s about collective grass roots, tactical media, pirate radio, network culture, DIY media…”, an attitude that will ensure a night of auditory adventure.
Wellington - Thursday 2nd July
Christchurch - Friday 3rd July
Auckland - Saturday 4th July
For a bit of background on Kode9 check this download of Benji B’s 1Xtra show featuring Kode9 from about 55mins in. There’s also an interview transcript here from UK magazine The Wire.
