Hyperdub is a UK based music label that was founded in 2004. Run by the artist Kode9, this label has become known for its innovative and boundary-pushing releases. With a focus on electronic music, Hyperdub has established itself as a leading force in the industry, consistently delivering cutting-edge sounds and pushing the boundaries of genre. Whether you're a fan of dubstep, grime, or experimental beats, Hyperdub is sure to have something that will captivate your ears.
With an impressive roster of artists and a reputation for quality releases, Hyperdub has solidified its position as one of the most influential labels in the music scene today. From iconic albums to groundbreaking singles, their catalog boasts an array of diverse and forward-thinking music that continues to resonate with listeners worldwide.
As a label run by an artist himself, Hyperdub understands the importance of artistic expression and creative freedom. They provide a platform for emerging talent as well as established artists to showcase their unique soundscapes and push sonic boundaries. With their finger on the pulse of underground movements and trends, Hyperdub remains at the forefront of musical innovation.

Ikonika, also known as Sara Abdel-Hamid, is a renowned electronic musician, producer, and DJ. She has gained recognition for her association with Hyperdub Records and her label Hum + Buzz alongside Optimum (2) from Night Slugs/Planet Mu. Previously known as Kill Kip, Ikonika has established herself as a prominent figure in the music industry.

With a distinctive sound that blends elements of various genres including dubstep, grime, and UK garage, Ikonika has captivated audiences worldwide. Her music showcases intricate rhythms, innovative production techniques, and captivating melodies that push boundaries and defy expectations.

Ikonika's unique style has drawn comparisons to artists such as Kode9, Ramadanman, Zomby, Peverelist, and many others. Her contributions to the electronic music scene have solidified her status as an influential figure within the industry.

Having helped define the "post-dubstep" landscape with her previous Hyperdub releases, on "Aerotropolis" Ikonika sets controls for the heart of the sun, side-swerving self-conscious "darkness" and bass-dwelling to create a "summer" record. Elements of her previous work surface, low-end swells and intricate rhythmic patterns, but it's the embracing of pop style - most noticeably early house and Italo elements - that define "Aerotropolis." This being Ikonika however, nothing is ever explicit, but on tracks like Mr. Cake it's hard not to imagine the ecstatic mood of the dancefloor taking over.
