Wild City #092 - Iyer

Indian born, Canada based Iyer turns in a rattling selection of footwork for Wild City Mix #092. It isn’t a surprise that Iyer, with his background in classical Carnatic music, has explored a vast range of genres in his years making music. Though his main area of expertise remains drum n’ bass, the producer has also played with elements in UK garage, dubstep, house, and more recently, footwork. His technical finesse, bold production and ambitious mixes of different styles of music from across the world have helped him cement a place in Singapore’s music community. Iyer’s is currently involved in pushing forward thinking sounds off his digital label Phyla, while pursuing a Bachelors degree in Applied Sciences in Ontario, Canada. Iyer’s exclusive mix for Wild City begins with the oddest two minutes we’ve heard on any of our mixes so far – a giggling intro of Yogi B and Natchatra’s rendition of ‘Go Shorty’. The producer keeps the hip hop vibe going with Sid Vashi’s first-rate Danny Glover cover followed by some laid back beats from Akeem before making the audacious transition to the beat heavy 160 bpm footwork that dominates the rest of his mix. Mix #092 also features some exceptional new work from Iyer and Oceantied a.k.a. Ketan Bahirat (who "might just be India’s answer to the global 160 BPM movement" according to Rahul Giri.). This is high octane stuff. For a tracklist and further info, head over here: http://www.thewildcity.com/EN/music.xhtml/article/8003-wild-city-092-iyer
