MIXED BY Cooly G

Hyperdub's coolest character hits deep with a smooth journey through house.

It's kind of crazy to think that UK label Hyperdub has been going for 10 years now, and even crazier to think just how forward-thinking the label's output has been. Back in 2009, a semi-professional footballer and sassy as hell woman called Cooly G released her 'Narst'/'Love Dub' 12". As deep, sparse bangers, flecked with elements of garage and house, the release hit hard in the year that UK funky briefly captured the collective imagination, and made dance floors dip and dive with fervour.

Years later, Cooly G has grown from UK funky into a seriously badass DJ, producer and - a rare feat - a truly original, personable figure. 2012's Playin' Me LP was met with critical acclaim on release from underground blogs to national newspapers alike, and her new Hold Me EP sees her get more playful than ever before. In this MIXED BY, Cooly's more recent styling are in full effect. It's less UK funky, more of the deep house that she knows and loves. In short, it's a serious vibe.

Cooly G plays Plisskën Festival in Athens, Greece, the weekend of 6th & 7th June, 2014.
