After months of delay, the new plate from the apocalyptic pairing of Kode 9 & Daddi Gee coincided with Kode 9’s appearances on Rephlex’s ‘Grime 2’ compilation. Although not as immediately chilling as the scorched debut single ‘Sign of the dub’, ‘Spit’ is no less cavernous or spectral : a menacing dub pulse fractured by shards of beats, like hardstep garage drowned in dancehall soundsystem bass pressure, heard through the filter of a claustrophobic bad acid nightmare, while Daddi Gee delivers a sermon of dread-heavy fear. Underground reaction heated up fast, with plenty of pirate radio action and web log chat, and press reviews included…

“having gatecrashed garage’s dubstep domain with their debut “sign of the dub’, the london-based duo now follow up that seismic rumble with this enviably deep cruise through the bush of ghosts. Spectral ska chords, a battering ram bassline and the dread-heavy resonance on daddi gee’s satanic sermon supplies a crucial ride into the heart of darkness. Dystopian dub for william gibson’s cyber generation.” – idj (dancehall / ragga single of the month)

“following on from the paranoid anthem of ‘sign of the dub’, kode9 & daddi g join forces again to create more futuristic dub. ‘spit’ comes with fine intricate broken step beats backed up by smooth sub-bass and the deep, warm, skunked-out vocals of daddi g. One for all the dub heads.” – idj (grime & dubstep reviews)

“some seriously dready dubstep from kode9 featuring some rasta-style meditative vocals from the deeply resonant daddi gee. Heavily poetic with its spoken word style, lyrically this is as rolling and hypnotic as the beats. Kode9 lays down a cavernously deep rhythm track with a sonorous bassline pulse and echo chamber stabs. Like horsepower fused with dark, dub poetry, this is pungent.” – dj magazine

“ ‘spit’. . . Finds gee havin’ at public enemy’s ‘welcome to the terrordrome’ in front of kode9’s chunky, haunted skarage. Order this one up at your shops” – xlr8r
