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
.
WORKSHOP 3: REMIXING
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.
ABOUT IKONIKA
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&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&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
.
