Hyp 049: Noodles

Tweet

For anyone interested in the current state of play of the continually shifting world of bass music, Noodles needs try little introduction.

On half of the inimitable Groove Chronicles (alongside El-B, who offered up his Hyp mix back in February), during the mid-to-late-90s the production pair went about laying waste to almost all their peers with a slew of stripped, dark garage productions that picked through the bones of jungles carcass to remodel the London sound into a skipping, intricately programmed 2-step format.

Having founded the DPR label in 1996, Noodles continues to push new music through with current acts including Dubchild, Caski and El-B, and as ever, has his ear to the streets with a number of new acts to follow.

His Hyp mix is a run through of some of UKG’s finest moments, a classic journey through 2-Step, that hits upon Wookie, Menta, Zed Bias, Steve Gurley and more.
