BLACK SUN / 2 FAR GONE by KODE 9

�Black Sun� started life as a ceremonially torched copy of The Sun newspaper and ended up as a weirdly euphoric, smeared synth workout that Kode9 has been mixing in his recent �funky� sets. Wavering and pitch-bent tones wind their way around a broken rhythm, while the bassline bubbles manically from beneath. �2 Far Gone�, on the flip, similarly sends recent strains of UK house rhythm into modulating analogue drone. Sounds like 9�s been drinking acid rain. Whatever this is, we�re not sure where it came from and don�t quite have words to describe it yet. Nor do we need them.
