Ikonika – Bubble Up EP on Hyperdub – An Underground Gem

Ikonika – aka Sara Chen – comes back with a joyful and refreshing new direction on the five track ‘Bubble Up’ EP; a switch in style and mood showcasing a confident and poppy sound in a sultry sweet spot that highlights her knack for a sparkling catchy synth melody, with rolling Amapiano and vintage deep house influences, and a rare sprinkling of her own low key vocals on three songs. Sara describes the vocal tunes ‘Bubble Up’ and ‘When You Look At Me’ as queer love anthems for the dance floor. On ‘Bubble Up’ she coos and whispers over pumping Log Drums and bass, while on ‘When You Look At Me’ her blunt but yearning vocals pour over an intense lattice of synth arpeggios. ‘JSUK’ is a perfect marriage of gliding synths and ambient piano melodies that nod to early Italian house with intricate Amapiano drums and bass. ‘Energy’ is a heads down, driving mix of vintage techno and Amapiano with whispered vocals and ad libs. ‘Dirty Tetris’ concludes the EP, galloping along with airy call and response melodies, beautifully balancing the deep and poppy sides of Ikonika’s sound.
