Next Life album artGet ready: a whole slew of new footwork tunes are coming your way. Today, the London-based label Hyperdub announced that it will release a compilation album called Next Life on November 11, 2014. Next Life will be full of a new material from Teklife—the Chicago collective responsible for bringing the frenetic rhythms and manically chopped samples of footwork to the global stage. In a heartwarming twist, all profits from sales will go to Chad, the 9-year-old son of the late DJ Rashad, who passed in April this year after a drug overdose.The album will feature new tracks from footwork godfathers RP Boo, Traxman, DJ Spinn, Manny and DJ Rashad himself. Teklife's second wave—DJ Earl, Heavee, Taye, Boylan, Phil, Taso, Sirr Tmo, and Tre—will be represented, as will select members of the Teklife family outside Chicago, like Durban, Tripletrain, and DJ Chap (all from the US) and Europe's DJ Paypal, Jackie Dagger and Feloneezy.This is not the first time that Hyperdub and Teklife have lent each other their mutual support. Hyperdub's 10-year anniversary in New York City was essentially a Teklife lovefest, and this October, the UK label will be bringing over the Chicago crew for their first show in London. Hyperdub also released DJ Rashad's seminal album Double Cup in 2013.Tracklist:
