Yes, that’s right, we are treating you to yet another mix. Why do we do it? Do you even appreciate them? Do you even appreciate us? Don’t answer that. Just download the fucking mix. This one is by sublime producer/DJ/girl Ikonika, and features lots of her new material, plus a number of forthcoming Hyperdub releases.
If you were wondering, we’re not sure what specific genre you’d class Ikonika’s material as – it’s way too good to be dubstep. There hasn’t been an apt enough one invented yet. Simon Reynolds would probably call it “flib-flob” or some other terrible made-up name. And then go on to write an essay about how Ikonika’s penchant for Polo mints has made her approach music in a totally new way.
