Emerging Masterclasses: Remixing w/ Ikonika

The music tech industry is currently composed of just 5% women.Our mission is to increase that figure, advancing gender equality in the sector by creating safe spaces for women and non-binary people to learn and build confidence.

Saffron

Join Ikonika for an in-person community masterclass exploring remixing.

Rough Trade Bristol

As part of Saffron's Emerging Artist Development project in Bristol, we are hosting three in-person workshops, offering music creators the opportunity to connect and learn alongside our 2025 programme participants.Hosted by Saffron graduates and mentors, these sessions provide a space for women, trans and non-binary people to come together and expand practice, sharing in the support we offer, whilst thinking about your work within a wider musical ecosystem.In a world where artistry is all too often approached as an individual pursuit, come along to cross-pollinate and contribute to each other's growth.<h3>WORKSHOP 3: REMIXING</h3>In this workshop, Ikonika will focus on how they approach remixing, including their dos and don'ts, tips and tricks and how they add their signature sound to the process.If you would like to attend this workshop but cannot afford a ticket, please email us at hello@saffronmusic.co.uk to request a bursary space.

<h3>ABOUT IKONIKA</h3>Ikonika is one of the most vital artists in UK electronic music. Emerging from the fertile grounds of London’s post-dubstep scene, they have carved out a singular space over two decades of boundary-pushing production and DJing. A long-time affiliate of the influential Hyperdub label, they’ve also released music on Night Slugs, Planet Mu, and Don’t Be Afraid (DBA). Their work spans grime, R&amp;B, UK funky, techno, and experimental club sounds—always marked by a signature sense of melody, rhythm, and emotional depth.Debuting in 2008 with the acclaimed single “Please” on Hyperdub, Ikonika quickly became a leading figure in the new wave of bass music innovators. Their debut album Contact, Love, Want, Have (2010) blended video game synths, garage rhythms, and glitchy textures into something wholly new, earning praise from critics and club-goers alike. Follow-up records like Aerotropolis (2013) and Distractions (2017) pushed even further into genre fusion, embracing pop, house, techno, R&amp;B, and experimental electronics.As a DJ, Ikonika is known for their eclectic sets and fearless transitions—from industrial-edged club tracks to shimmering synth jams—appearing at major festivals and underground venues worldwide.Beyond their solo work, Ikonika is a skilled collaborator and remixer, having worked with artists including Jessy Lanza, 45DiBoss, and Karen Nyame KG, and remixed the likes of Ewan McVicar, Jamilah Barry, Or:la (feat. Eliza Rose), and Steve Spacek.In recent years, Ikonika has continued to evolve, releasing deeply personal and stylistically adventurous EPs that incorporate their own vocals and explore everything from amapiano to techno. Whether in the studio or behind the decks, Ikonika’s sound remains unmistakable—emotive, future-facing, and proudly London.
