Sorry about the delay, we've both been busy. I'm working on the planning stages of my own magazine right now and Oliver's been trying to kick ass at academia while also keeping up the good work over at Palms Out. Anyways, on to the content:
So Ikonika is sent from the future to educate us about unrealized musical configurations, bringing us DJ mixes, singles, and albums that at first feel completely nonsensical because they break with tradition to the extent that they do. There is so much wrong with the aesthetics she's pushing; odd syncopations, dissonant melodies and chord progressions, raw, unpolished synthesizer sounds, and with these avant-garde instincts she has pried open the the UK's beat box, calling established practice into question and destabilizing any orthodoxy built around notions of what is or is not aesthetically acceptable.
She's done it again with this week's FACT mix, showcasing a lot of material from her new record label, Hum + Buzz, and oddities from other left-field electronica labels like Warp, Planet Mu, and Hyperdub.
