Ikonika is one of the most respected names in the UK bass diaspora. Best known for her numerous releases on and affiliation with Hyperdub Records – as well as EPs on DBA, Night Slugs and more recently Club Djembe – she is an artist ever in motion, now light years away from the post-dubstep landscape where she first made her name. While certain aspects of her sound remain consistent – a love of club-friendly rhythms purpose-built with digital flair and a strong sense of melody – the diversity of her interests like pop, R&B and bashment have become even more apparent in recent music.

Nazar is an Angolan producer who grew up in Belgium until his late teens, when he returned after the civil war and is now based in Europe. Nazar coined the term rough kuduro on his Soundcloud page, as an interpretation of the Angolan music and dance style, ‘weaponising’ it on his first EP Enclave released in late 2018, translating the normally upbeat style to expose the uglier side of what he saw in Angola. On Guerrilla Nazar uses rough kuduro to sensitively examine and digitalise his family’s collective memory and country’s past, threading together oral histories, political realities and most significantly reimaginings of direct horrors. 

Proc Fiskal / Joe Powers is a producer/DJ from Edinburgh, Scotland. Since 2018 he’s released two albums and several EPs with Hyperdub that explore the potentialities of the cross-pollination of UK club genres and incorporate phone recordings, sound collage, vocal manipulation and high pressure bass.
