Whether you're a seasoned fan or new to the genre, Dont Be Afraid offers a diverse range of sounds that will captivate your senses. From deep grooves to hypnotic beats, their releases are carefully curated to provide an immersive musical experience.

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.

For the 9th instalment in DBA's Dubs series Ikonika and Big Strick square off head to head, following the Hyperdub artist's genre-defying Distractions LP earlier this year. Oral Suspension is an instrumental which switches rough-shod between a UK halfstep crunch and a Hoop Dreams era Chicago bounce. On the flip Big Strick brings his characteristic smooth groove to the table for the remix, which, though laidback, is nevertheless bound to energise the dancers. Evading the ubiquitous pigeonholes, Ikonika has variously been known for her dubstep innovations, her uk funky experiments on Hum and Buzz and her post-urban sketches for Hyperdub. Meanwhile though an interest in techno and specifically the sounds of the Midwest have underpinned her work.
