"Gunk" by Ivy Lab

Ivy Lab - duo Sabre (Gove Kidao) and Stray (J. Fogel) - tear into 2019 with two new heavy tracks on their own 20/20 LDN label.

Minted in late 2015, and borrowing the same raison d'être as its elder sibling nightlife brand; 20/20 LDN Recordings was unveiled with ‘Ivy Lab presents 20/20 Volume.1’ - described as “Uncompromising, insightful and rather awesome” 9/10 by Mixmag and “Impossible to categorise” 9/10 by DJ Mag. Little over a year later the label was awarded the title of ’Best Breakthrough Label 2016’ in the DJ Mag Best of British Awards.

In 2018 Ivy Lab released their acclaimed debut album ‘Death Don’t Always Taste Good’ (“A sound that finds a middle ground between drum & bass, dubstep, hip-hop and techno, powered by colossal sound design” Resident Advisor), produced one of BBC Radio 1’s top five Essential Mixes of the year, played worldwide from London to Tokyo to Berlin to New York, and continued to build the 20/20 LDN stable with releases from Deft and Tim Parker.

‘Gunk’ points to the future of Ivy Lab; the track’s minimal warped beats, open spaces and distorted sound effects lay the groundwork for ferocious verses by hyped LA rapper IceColdBishop. Bishop, a recent attendee at Adidas Sound Lab, compliments Ivy Lab’s production in a unique way - real west coast rap meeting London half-time. ‘Jinxed’ will be a more familiar sound to followers of Ivy Lab; heavy electronic funk turned up past 11 and sprinkled with pitched vocal samples and jazzy synths.
