This slow and steady groove comes from the collaborative efforts of Hyperdub tunestress Ikonika (pictured above) and fellow UK producer Optimum. The duo not only co-produced the dub-heavy “Space Rock,” but also recently started up the new Hum & Buzz imprint together. While there’s certainly nothing “rock” about the track (it’s really not overtly “space”-y either), the tune does flex a strong presence of sub-bass melody, shuffling dubstep rhythms, and enough to aerial-sounding synth wizardry to at least warrant its residency within the stratosphere.
