    Ikonika Sahara Michael / Fish

    Hyperdub
    • Ikonika – Sahara Michael
    • Ikonika – Fish
    • 1. Sahara Michael
    • 2. Fish

    Hyperdub’s original female producer Ikonika comes with this long-awaited release that lives up to all expectations, presenting two brilliant tracks that have our mouths watering in anticipation for  her debut album due early next year!

    ‘Sahara Michael’ seems cryptic at first, but on repeated listens falls into focus, revealing its complex soul, marrying bright (dis)chords which contrast with the warm undertow of harmonies that flow throughout. The track steps into a bridge passage with a melody that recalls the funky worm melodies of prime G-Funk, extending the theme of contrasting polar opposites that the tune plays with.

    ‘Fish’ channels early Detroit techno at its most abstract and painterly. Smears of bright vibrating chords flash frantically across the mix, building into thick harmonic meshes backed by a hard drum pattern before they solidify into a triumphant melody. Strange and beautiful music, in a full-colour sleeve to match.

    Don't sleep on this!!!
