Ikonika

 

After a string of 12"s on Hyperdub over the last few years, Contact, Want, Love, Have is the debut album from Sara Abdel-Hamid aka Ikonika. Released on April 6th it will be available as a CD and digitally and although there won't a vinyl LP there will be a series of 12"s with tracks off the album and remixes.

The album traverses a number of retro-futurist styles, including dubstep, uk funky and garage, 80s synth pop and computer game soundtracks, but remains totally contemporary, coherent and focused, making the idea of restraining her to a single genre irrelevant.

If you can't wait until April 6th for a slice of Ikonika then you can get her remix of Bastard Kids by The Brown Acid on March 1st.

Catch Ikonika broadcasting live sets on Ustream.TV, click here for info on shows and schedules but you check below for a video of a recent back-to-back set with Optimum.

You can also download an exclusive Ikonika mix if you become a member on Fenchurch's website.
