Hyperdub temporarily resumes deep dub service after some bleep interference. Following their first 12' for the label in the late summer of last year, which earned comparisons to Berlin's seminal Rhythm & Sound, South Londoners L.V. return with two more intimate, bass driven, twilight dub cuts.

CCTV reunites L.V. with respected soundsystem vocalist Dandelion (who previously featured on 'Takeover', combining the organic warmth of reggae with squelching analogue synths, while the lyrics wage war on Big Brother society and stealth street surveillance.

Arguably the most accessible track from Hyperdub so far, CCTV is as much a melodically militant chant-down lament as it is a heavyweight groove, blessed with an instantly addictive rootical horn hook and the kind of rolling dread-filled atmosphere that overcooked British summer evenings were made for. In an alternative universe CCTV rings unnervingly down the years like Ghost Town does in this one.

'Dream Cargo' rises in the distant heat haze like an evolutionary variant from the same gene pool '?Konfusion', heading in a melancholy techno direction, but with a driving rhythm that owes more to soca than it does any four to the floor stomper, interrupted by drifting breaks out of what we can now call the Burial textbook, according to The Wire.
