Void nights are at the centre of the largely ex-pat Shanghai techno scene. There were techno fans from all over the world at The Shelter that night, including a couple of enthusiastic Brummies (who I played The House Of God track for)

Audio Poverty guests Kodwo Eshun and Steve Goodman unravel the complicated global knots of post-economic music and slum productions on Hausradio. The two discuss micro-economies, the conditions of production in the periphery and the dreams of another way of doing things. They tear apart the notions that the existential and the economic are now converged or that money and the psyche are fused into one. They question the inherent sharability of music and a communism of one. The discussion follows on their talk at Audio Poverty (listen here). The discussion goes on to talk about different models of production, pious Gurus and a sustained crisis.Kodwo Eshun is a lecturer, writer and filmmaker. He is a founder of The Otolith Group. Steve Goodman/Aka Kode9 teaches media and sonic culture. He owns the hyperdub record label. Both are based in London.

Kode 9 (aka Steve Goodman) is possibly the most esteemed Producer/DJ/Theorist to ever visit these shores. His cover feature in last months Wire magazine proving he’s more relevant than ever. He’s been at the top of my ‘to see’ list of producers for many years and finally he’s playing here in AK - thanks to dirtycash and beat merchants.
Kode 9 first came to my attention in 2002 co-producing Fat Larry’s Skank; a genre bending groove from the 2-step label Tempa. But it was his catatonic ‘Sine of the dub’ in 2004 (a cover of Prince’s ‘Sign of the times’) on his label hyperdub which solidified the Kode 9 mystique. His feature appearance on Aphex Twin’s ‘Grime 2′ compilation in late 2004 pretty much sealed the deal for the electronic music audience. Since his album in 2006 Kode 9 has continued to release crucial modern music both by himself and through his label. “Hyperdub continues to maintain it’s iron grip on the title of ‘most interesting label of the year’” – boomkat 2006.
