We welcome UK producer Iglew to the Crack Mix series.
Iglew makes the kind of music that elicits a different response each time you hear it – depending on your mood, perhaps, or your environment. His output is both functional and wonky all at once, making for a sound that’s slick-as-can-be but embedded with flourishes that are uniquely his own.
In 2016, he released his vital debut EP Urban Myth via Mr Mitch’s Gobstopper imprint. In the months and years following he lay relatively low, only venturing back into the spotlight on the odd occasion. Thankfully, Iglew reemerged from his hiatus earlier this month to release the new EP Light Armour. Across the record – which landed on Wisdom Teeth – Iglew draws from his instrumental grime roots while also pursuing something warmer and more leisurely. His all-originals Crack Mix occupies this same space as well.
“[The mix is] really just a snapshot of things I’ve made,” Iglew tells Crack Magazine over email. “Mostly within the last (extremely weird and difficult) year or so, that are in a similar tempo range and happened to flow together nicely that gives a bit of insight into where I’m at at the moment musically.”
