In the midst of preparing for the album release and embarking on a North American tour, Kode9 found time for an interview with us to discuss the album, Hyperdub, and the state of what used to be called dubstep.

Interviewing Mala felt like a task as heavy as the bass weight that made him famous. LWE spoke with him about the downsides of the Internet, the virtues of not having a codified creative process, and the general aura of greatness that surrounds Moritz von Oswald.

To many, Ben Klock is techno. Given his lengthy CV, this is hardly surprising. LWE sat down with Klock in New York to talk about the ’90s, the warmth of Berghain techno and his dad’s experience at the club.
