The London-based dubstep label Hyperdub is now old enough to get into kindergarten. Over the past five years, Hyperdub has put out records by a hell of a lot of that genre’s greatest artists, including Burial, Kode9, Joker, Zomby, and Darkstar. And the forthcoming 2xCD comp 5: 5 Years of Hyperdub will collect both new and/or classic material from all of them, plus tracks from kindred sprits such as Mala, Martyn, and Flying Lotus. And yes, to answer your question, that means a new Burial song. It’s called “Fostercare”. Get ready.

5 is due October 19 in the UK and the very next day in the U.S. This summer and fall, Hyperdub is putting out a series of 12” singles featuring new material from many of Hyperdub’s artists. The first disc of 5 will collect all those tracks, with some bonus jams. The second disc, meanwhile, will function as a sort of greatest-hits, collecting older joints like Burial’s “Distant Lights”, Joker’s “Digidesign”, and Kode9 and the Spaceape’s remix of the Specials’ “Ghost Town”.
