Coming full circle, Hyperdub 10.4 , the final episode in the series of four compilations celebrating the 10th anniversary of Hyperdub, returns to the club, this time focused on house, garage and techno. As with 10.1 , 10.4 is a double CD, featuring one disc of new and recent material, and a second of bangers from the Hyperdub canon in recent years. Disc 1 kicks off with a long awaited, previously unreleased track by Burial, with an unusually triumphant and - compared to recent extended montages - relatively direct 2step feel. This is followed by another classic from the vaults, Cooly G's skeletal house cut Him Da Biz . We turn the energy levels up with Ossie + PHRH's bouncy Ugly Observation , and Funkystepz's Vice Versa , a track in demand since Kode9's Rinse 22 mix compilation from 2013. From here, we move into three distinct takes on techno: Walton's face melting Laser War , the low slung tech-garage of Kode9's Oh , and a VIP mix of Ikonika's recent dance floor bulldozer Position . Another exclusive VIP mix is included, this time of Funkystepz's banger Fuller , and Dorian Concept turns in a quirky remix of Martyn's classic Mega Drive Generation which originally appeared on Hyperdub's fifth anniversary compilation in 2009. Next we are graced with the epic dubbed-out acid house of The Phoenix , the title track from the recent album by King Britt under the guise of Fhloston Paradigm, then into the fathoms-deep bubbling bass and synth washes of DVA's extremely psychedelic Monophonic Nightmare . We rise above the surface with Parisian Bambounou's brilliantly stripped-down drum machine remix of Jessy Lanza's Fuck Diamond , and the lush deep house of Cooly G's 'Love Again'. Finally, we veer off grid with Kyle Hall's rhythmically dazzling Kaychunk . Disc 2 spotlights 14 high points of Hyperdub's last half-decade, with proven dance floor material from Burial, Kode9 & The Spaceape, Cooly G, Walton, Darkstar, DVA, LV ft Okmalumkoolkat, Ill Blu, and Laurel Halo. –Hyperdub Various Artists, Hyperdub 10.4 by Hyperdub
