IKONIKA.

"DJMAG BEST BRITISH DJ OF 2010 NOMINEE"

With her brilliant debut release 'Please', Ikonika firmly established her place in the Dubstep landscape. Her unique sound continued to progress with further releases on Hyperdub and Planet Mu, as well as a stunning remix of DJ Mujava's 'Township Funk' (Warp). Ikonika's music combines melodic synth patterns, driving drums, melancholic sub bass and unorthodox song structures, simultaneously heartfelt and heavy. Her tracks have been supported by everyone from Kode9, Martyn and Mary Anne Hobbs (BBC Radio 1) to Rob Da Bank (BBC Radio 1) and Flying Lotus. As an in demand DJ, her sets showcase the constantly mutating underground sounds of the UK, spanning from the freshest Dubstep and Funky dubplates to the classic foundations of House and Garage. With her debut album released on Hyperdub in early 2010, a raft of remixes and a busy DJ schedule, Ikonika is certain to fulfill her potential as one the UK's brightest stars.

“One small dubstep for man, one giant leap for experimental UK club music.” - NME

"If Bjork made dubstep instrumentals, this is what might come out" - DJ Mag

"Real compositional sophistication" - WIRE

"London's diverse dubstep producer" - Mixmag

"Ikonika melds the genre's juddering bass with Aphex Twin-style melodic mischief" - The Guardian

"With influences from hip-hop to hardcore metal, Ikonika's music has many different elements to it. She's constantly referred to as dubstep, but believe us, she's so much more" - iDJ

Fat Laced Funk feat K+Lab (NZ) & JDubs (UK) @ Rakinos

K+Lab and Micah - A Whole Lotta Feel Good Mix

Friday, April 1 at 9:00pm - April 2 at 3:00am

Rakinos Cafe

Wellington NZ based K+Lab ( Caleb Cowie ) is one funky Son of a preacher man! Born and raised a Jehovah's witness he rebelled against the cult like religion and found his comfort and relief through music. At the tender age of 10 he received his first guitar from his older brother Joe. From there spawned an ever growing love for music, learning to play the Bass guitar, Drums, Synths.

This live music background comes through in K+labs music and shows giving him a reputation as a party rocker with high energy vibes and whacked out costumes, he insists on bringing the madness to each and every show. This approach has gained him countless slots alongside some of the finest Electronic artists the world has to offer such as Bassnectar, Freq Nasty, Shapeshifter and many more.

K+lab has delved in to many styles of music but feels now he has the perfect balance of all his previous loves, this has helped him create a sound unique to him "It's a combination of all my favourite genres, Drum n bass, Breakbeat, Funk and Hip hop, it's like I'm Charlie sheen, I've managed to convince all my girlfriends to live together." This formula has helped him gain global support releasing music on Skanky panky (UK) and Empathy records (NZ).

His first release Wrecked featuring Analog MC instantly hit number one on download charts and went on to become one of the top downloads of the year across several stores in 2009. Following on from Wrecked he put together The whole world's ill EP, has remixed Opiuo, Minuit, Kolab and William Breakspear as well as dropping his dancefloor destroying Talking Smack.

London born, JDubs represents the truth and the light. Universally maneuvering through mind pollution and systematic lies and manipulation to speak to one's soul. Knee deep in the beats, 9 rhymes later JDubs is set to drop multiple albums.

JDubs has featured on the Pacific Heights album In A Quiet Storm, toured with Shapeshifter and worked with beatmakers Parks, P-Money and Charles Kickens.
