Aerotropolis [CD]

Ikonika has always been a maverick talent and her music has always been fun-- aside from a reputation for being one of the best DJs in the business, the prescient electronics of her 2010 debut Contact, Want, Love, Have were something of a prequel to what people started to call post-dubstep. Her citric synths, brash tone clashes and cluttered video game-inspired genre mangles came to her naturally, before legions of young producers got in on the act.
