Since their debut EP ‘Be Yourself’ was released on esteemed underground label Black Butter in January as part of their ‘Spread Love’ series, DJ duo Codec have effortlessly held their spot at the top of multiple charts and show no signs of moving yet. ‘What You Need’ reached #1 in Juno’s Bass bestsellers while ‘Be Yourself’ made its way to #1 in Track It Down’s dubstep bestsellers this week, and they remain comfortably high up in the charts as we move into February. Codec already have championing support from the likes of T.williams, Foamo, Gorgon City, Rack’n’Ruin, Rudimental, Laurent Garnier, Woz, and Breach.
Featuring on a recent mix the duo laid down for i-D magazine, Codec are now giving their new and growing fanbase a free download of their bootleg remix of Rosie Gaines’ classic 90s record ‘Closer than Close’. With their sound and style rapidly becoming distinctive, Codec’s remix is full of big garage swing and tough bass. Now based in London, the pair have fully immersed themselves in the thriving scene and are being welcomed with open arms… Including UKF/Subsoul who have supported from start and quickly snapped the guys up to play at their new ‘SubSoul Sessions’ event next month.
