Ikonika

Along with Burial and label operator Kode9, producer/DJ Ikonika (Sara Abdel-Hamid) was a key member of the Hyperdub roster, one of the premier dubstep labels. Prior to releasing her first album, 2010Æs Contact, Love, Want, Have, she released a handful of 12ö singles on Hyperdub, as well as one on Planet Mu, and she also remixed tracks by Mujava (ôTownship Funkö), the Brown Acid (ôBastard Kidsö), and Egyptrixx (ôThe Only Way Upö). Though most of her productions incorporated some mischievous (if emotive) combination of battering drums, crisp percussion accents, bleep-streaks, and affecting synthesizer textures, no two sounded alike. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
