Ikonika-Idiot (Altered Natives Mix)

One of a number of great artists on London's Hyperdub label, Ikonika (Sara Abdel-Hamid) is in a league of her own. Idiot (Altered Natives Mix) is Danny Native's remix of a track from her full length, Contact, Love, Want, Have (2010, Hyperdub). The hand percussion at the outset of this much simplified (but by no means idiotic) mix of the song indicates it's primary body movin' intent. It's implicit argument is constructed from snippets of delayed arpeggios and a recurring tympanic cadence. These stark premises, along with a p-diddlin' snare, force the listener to accept the conclusion-You must move! You'd be an idiot not to.
