A pivotal moment in the Kode9 catalogue — Black Sun marked a deliberate shift away from the deep, slow-crawler dubstep of Memories of the Future toward something more nervous, percussive and funky-inflected. A tension-filled two-tracker that signalled where the music was heading before anyone else had fully caught up with where it had been.
Black Sun occupies the A-side with a restless, coiled energy that feels categorically different from the chrome-plated chill of Kode9's earlier material — percussive, tightly wound and carrying a kinetic forward momentum that never quite releases into resolution. 2 Far Gone carries the flip with a similarly unsettled quality, the two tracks together mapping a producer in the middle of a productive creative recalibration. Nervous, funky and impossible to pin down — exactly the qualities that have made Kode9 one of the most enduringly relevant figures in UK bass music history.
