After years of cultivating a dedicated following with his productions, all of the pieces moved into alignment at the end of 2007 for Omar-S, culminating with the ecstatic plateaus of “Psychotic Photosynthesis.” Omar was exactly what a lot of people wanted, and he had every sympathetic ear right where he needed them: Here was the real thing, a J Dilla for house music, as rough, raw and muthafucking talented as his catalogue. So, with talent and hype having waxed and polished the frame, enter Fabric to hand the man a blank canvas. And what has Omar done? He’s grabbed it—with his chin up, one eyebrow raised, and maybe a cheeky middle finger hidden behind his back.

Originally they wanted to call this 5 Years of Low End Contagion. They were right not to. Contagions don’t spread beneficially, or even neutrally: they pollute and toxify. They mutate only to keep eating. They pillage. But that’s not the remit here. Assuming Hyperdub leads from the head—and there’s no reason to suspect otherwise—then the ongoing mission is that of mutation without parasitism, an additive reshuffling of codes to create new behaviors and evolutionary lines within them. Hyperdub isn’t a record label, or a virus, so much as it’s a culture unto itself, and I suspect that at least some part of the appeal of digging through their progress to date is that it turns us all into anthropologists, tracing networks of links and gauging the distance we’ve traveled from the source.

DJ Koze has forged a reputation as a dance music Renaissance darling. Besides his work as DJ Koze, Stefan Kozalla has kept himself busy under his electronica alias Adolf Noise and with wry funk posse International Pony. But even with 2005’s excellent Kosi Comes Around and a series of consistently inventive singles like “All the Time” and “I Want to Sleep”—RA’s number one track of last year—Kozalla’s perhaps most appreciated for his playful, oft superior takes on the music of other artists. Perhaps that’s because you never really know what you’re going to get from a DJ Koze remix—he’s as apt to turn out jumpy, full-sweat house as he is to leave his print in reflective home stereo fare.

How do you do justice to a double mix CD that takes in over one hundred tracks?Balance 14 is such a chef d’oeuvre that it seems silly to do anything other than cowardly chirp, “Go listen, the sonics speak for themselves.” On the opening track (six tracks altogether) an ethereal vocal asks, “Are you ready?” It’s the only explicit moment in two hours of subtlety which then click and whirr into life, before you can even ponder the question. Voorn describes this mix as painting with music. Which is bang on. Both CDs—the first emotive and deep; the other, well, the same, but steadier—lock your mind into compositional analysis, and into interpreting the shades and tonal spread on offer. As do any decent paintings. And that’s fun. So is dancing—and Balance 14 will make you do that too.

The mix CD is dead. And why shouldn’t it be? With certain haggard franchises now ambling complacently into double figures and podcasts and downloadable live sets offering near infinite possibilities, you can’t help but think that it’s only a matter of time before they’re completely obsolete. How can they compete with performances by every working DJ playing tracks fresh from the plant, selections unhampered by licensing restrictions and it all coming at the low, low cost of free?
