Dubstep pioneer, label owner, sound theorist - Steve Goodman, better known as Kode9, has become one of the most prominent figures in electronic music since starting his Hyperdub label in 2004. His own productions as Kode9, alongside those of fellow Hyperdub artist Burial, are widely recognized for their genre-defining approach to the dubstep style, pioneering extreme reductionism ('Sine Of The Dub') or the use of funky house elements ('Bad'). A media theorist and university lecturer in civil life, Goodman has further published a book on the relationship of sound and military practice, called 'Sonic Warfare: Sound, Affect & The Ecology Of Fear', published by MIT Press in 2009.
