System Error: Ivy Lab [Final LA Show]

SYSTEM ERROR presents

IVY LAB: A FAREWELL TOUR

Kidao and Fogel came together as Ivy Lab in 2013, having already carved out a strong presence in drum & bass as Sabre and Stray respectively. On early releases they were also joined by Laurence Reading, aka Halogenix, and released on Critical Recordings. The focus for Ivy Lab was on a more freeform approach to bassweight music, moving beyond the boundaries of drum & bass to explore a wide range of tempos and intensities, not least half-time, hip-hop informed beats. In 2015 Ivy Lab felt the need to create a space in which to move freely with this new found direction, and they launched their label Twenty Twenty London with an expansive double-pack album that showed off the range they were manifesting in the studio.

Over time, Ivy Lab has grown to encompass a powerful, idiosyncratic strain of hybrid club music spread out across a vast archive of EPs and albums, while Twenty Twenty London has become a prominent hub for emergent talent creating beats outside the dominant genre lines of modern electronic music.

Kidao and Fogel have sensed the right moment to call time on Ivy Lab, having achieved more than they could have imagined at the start of the project. Both artists will continue to release music individually as Stray and Sabre. Meanwhile Twenty Twenty London will also continue to nurture the community of artists orbiting the label and grow as an essential platform for new music.

Ending a creative endeavor at the right time can be just as important as starting one. Ivy Lab bow out with intention, savoring every last show and drawing a line under their fully realized vision for modernist bassweight that refused to be boxed in.
