5...according to our Brian on Fri 23 Oct, 2009.

Quarta 330 share the latest wax splattering in the Hyperdub 5.+ series (this is 5.3) with fellow post dub travellers LV & Dandelion shaking their shit on the other side. Quarta's tunes take a while with me, sharing a similar filtered 8-bit glitch sound with some of the admittedly excellent Jahtari floor movers. 'Bleeps from Outer Space' is a right little creaky, bleepy epic with some lovely, woozy spangled melodies, a slow skanking pixellated reggae groove with the whole thing continually threatening to dissolve into static like an resolve hitting aqua at any given moment. Absolutely brilliant. As is the LV side, more heady future dub with skittering rimshot delay, a smoky trad dub bassline and stargazing vocals from Burdock's wise ol' bro. Nice smattering of 8-bit action in this too, plus the drowsy synths underpinning the action are well BOC, a cracking double header indeed!!

October 2009 heralds the release of ‘5’, a double CD marking Hyperdub’s five years of life as a record label. Honouring past, present and future in equal measure, ‘5’ is comprised of one disc of prior highlights, and one of freshly-composed material contributed by Hyperdub artists and close friends. A series of five 12-inch EPs featuring a selection of the new tunes will be issued, one per week, leading up to the release of ‘5’. The initial pressing quantity of these EPs will be dictated by preorder demand, and none will be repressed, nor will they be made available digitally, before the complete CD collection is on sale.
