Ikonika - 'Please' (@fwd last night/appreciation thread)

Post by optimum » Sat Sep 29, 2007 9:27 am

This track went off during kode9's set at last night's fwd! Big up 9 for supporting a fresh and original track, i.e. one with a definite sense of progression, in terms of changes and arrangement (contrast with the ubiquity of monotonous 'wobble' tunes). Shout out to the crowd rewind too lol. Check the track here:

First time I have heard Ikonika's stuff, "Please" is a great tune, really unpredictable.

Has that kind of gameboy quality that you get in that 9 Samurai rmx also

Tunes on the myspace are all interesting and weighty... Like 'Phonelines' the most

Nice one!

Tis a quality bit of tuneage. Crazy melody, deeply infectious and some definite weight to it.

Good stuff.

really good point, forget how catchy the melody is, this a definite song, not just some riddim. also like how this, and her other stuff, sounds very friendly and lively, not mechanic and bleak.
