Where did you get that bongo sample from!? pure genius! whats your opinion on the the surge of clown steppy mid range stuff, and sort of forgetting the dub in dubstep?

Can I just say, what an awesome thread this is. read it from top to tip. Ikonika, you say you try not use all that much compression when mixing a song...

I know Im a bit slow on this one but I just wanna say- Ikonika is a fooking legend. I saw her not so long ago and I pestered her after a show about production and she had just done AN EPIC set but she still had the time to chat and find a tune that I thought stood out in the mix and we found it in ...

hiya, ikonika! just listened to that please, and it's FAT you mentioned that at first you were just excited to get a song done... i think people often connect to that mood very well, of excitement, newness, so it might be part of why a lot of people connected to that tune.. i think that often music...

I haven't been able to come see ya yet (I live in Portland, Oregon afterall). Hiya Right now I DJ using Serato. Eventually I would like to start a live show, b...

I use to take drum lessons for about a year, from the age of 11. I got my first drum kit at 16. I use to play in a few bands, playing metalcore and post-hardcore stuff. I was really into until about maybe 5 years ago, after that I started thinking about production. I knew it! Like the hits in "...

What sort of steps/processing etc.. do you take to get such a crystal clear sounding mix? I don't really think my mixdowns are all that tbh, especially this year getting my head around Logic and the changes in my setup…A few months ago I thought I had to compress the hell out of everything and make...

Big up the Yamaha HS50 crew! :) How do you go about making tunes? Where do you start? Cheers, Jason Hi Jason, I usually start with the melodies. I try and write about 64 bars of progression.

Hi Ikonika, What's the story behind you getting on Hyperdub? And how long you been producing? Safe I've been producing for about 4 years.
