BASS FORWARD THE REVOLUTION CAST #9 - Anikonik

We are pleased to present you Edinburgh-based newcomer „Anikonik“ (@anikonik) for the ninth episode of our podcast!

Flying the flag high for Scotland, "Anikonik" has been at the forefront pushing the faster side of bass driven music in the north since 2013. Exploring the faster side of music with an undying love for drum and bass, jungle and footwork, "Anikoniks" sets are typically hard, fast paced and experimental - pushing the boundaries of genres is her forte. 

Starting out in Dundee, her work as a promoter for Junglism Scotland and as a resident DJ at the notorious Electrikal Sound System has meant she has fast gained her recognition within the underground music scene up north – especially in Edinburgh, where she regularly plays at club nights such as Midnight bass, Sound System Legacies and the Electrikal nights hosted in the Bongo club. "Anikonik" has supported the likes of Goldie, A.M.C, Chase and Status, Current Value, Mefjus and many more. She is a regular within the festival scene, having played the likes of Boomtown, Eden Festival, Kelburn Garden Party, to name a few.

"Anikonik" is not only a DJ and promoter, but a budding producer who was picked as a mentee by RAM Records for the EQ50 mentorship program this year. The dance floor is a sacred space for her, and having the privilege of working with one of the UKs best sound systems means a lot has been learned in terms of music quality and what it is that drives people to dance. This knowledge is currently being applied to her productions, in which she is in no rush to release – until the quality is high and the vibe is absolutely perfect.

For our podcast, "Anikonik" prepared a energetic one hour ride through various styles of dark drum & bass – perfectly showcasing the diversity of her selection.

Out November 13, pre-order it here: https://maloca.bandcamp.com/album/maloca-vol-1

Featuring eight different artists from Mexico to Lithuania, Peru, Portugal, Florida, UK and Belgium, ‘Maloca Vol. 1’ outlines the worldly focus of @le-motel’s new label @malocarecords.

The label’s ethos is to build bridges interlinking disparate yet like-minded musicians dedicated to blending organic electronic and acoustic elements. The global network of makers highlighted on 'Maloca Vol.1', the label’s first compilation, confabs a terrestrial and borderless percussive sound that has been bubbling in clubs and Le Motel’s orbit.

Opening the compilation is esteemed Peruvian duo @dengue with the spectral synths and organic sounding foundations of 'Minerals'.

Maloca Vol.1

More exclusive music

Premiere: Dengue Dengue Dengue 'Minerals'

"Class Of Taxonomy" is the second EP by Italian dj/producer and tireless music digger A-Tweed, a new concept odd work dedicated to extinct animals and human self-destructive behaviours.
Including remixes by Dengue Dengue Dengue and Ground, and a special paleolithic artwork from the outer space by the great Léo Marsal http://leomarsal.com/

Antonio De Oto aka A-Tweed was born in the upland region of Molise, Southern Italy and after skipping several towns is now based in Rome since 2014.
His music is marked by dark and trippy acid vibes with afrofuturism, cosmic disco, global bass, tropical house, psychedelic tribalism, weird downbeats and 360° worldwide sample digging. 

Each track of the EP is inspired by three different extinct animals.
Opening track "Plesiosaurus Social Security" with its no sense title and its uneasy dark and lo-fi vibes reflect A-Tweed's passion for Scottish Highlands foggy landscapes and tribalism.
Could that Plesiosaurus be "Nessie" from Loch Ness? Maybe...
"Dodo Crash Report", which can also count on an impressive and astonishing remix by Peruvian Berlin based duo Dengue Dengue Dengue, is a metallic wonky arp tune  dedicated to Mauritian extinct bird dodo. Techno meets tribal disco with a powerful bassline and thumping percussive grooves.

Quagga, South-African zebra extinct in 1883, gets its revenge in third track "Zebra Xing" which is a tribal downbeat tune with eerie organic and drum samples and spooky melodies has the purpose of make reflect about human being role in ambiental and zoological disasters. 
This track is also remixed by gifted Japanese Ground from Osaka based label Chill Mountain. Such a good way to close this "acid weird slow disco" EP.
