- The collection features reinterpretations by Flying Lotus, DeepChord, Gang Gang Dance, Green Gartside of Scritti Politti and more.
Hyperdub have revealed details for Without You, a compilation of artists reinterpreting songs by King Midas Sound.
Made up of Kevin Martin (AKA The Bug), spoken word performer Roger Robinson and vocalist Hitomi, King Midas Sound are known for a dark, cinematic style of bass music that Pitchfork called "zero-gravity lovers' rock." Martin curated Without You himself, and in doing so reached well beyond the confines of the UK club circuit, tapping the likes of Flying Lotus, Gang Gang Dance and Green Gartside, singer of the post-punk outfit Scritti Politti. That said, plenty of bass music artists fit the bill too, including Mala, Cooly G and D-Bridge. Detroit dub techno stalwarts DeepChord presents Echospace contribute a rework as well. The album will be available on CD and double-LP, with two extra tracks on the vinyl version.
