Idiot

Tracks: 'Idiot' b/w 'Idiot (Altered Natives Remix).' Released after Ikonika's debut album Love, Contact, Want, Have, Idiot is the first in a series of picture sleeve 12's taken from the album backed with remixes from some of Hyperdub's favorite current producers. 'Idiot' is already something of a hit with those who've heard it being played out, combining hard soca drums with lush ecstatic melodic synth harmonies and a driving bass with a strange 8-bit melody that stumbles and trips around the rhythm. It's completely alien at first, but potent enough to stick in your ears until you might catch yourself humming the refrain when you least expect it. A unique and fantastic combination of compelling contemporary sounds.
