IG88

IG88 is one of the most versatile artist in this year’s Decibel Festival. He is performing two separate shows, one as a solo performer and one as a collaborator, and this prevalence reflects his tireless attitude towards making music. He is not contained by any genre, producing for hip-hop, soul and electronic musicians worldwide, and he loves to mix different genres to create new context for seemingly contradictory styles (see his Young Thug remix on soundcloud for a perfect example). He is also a master of found sound, like recording his daughter’s hiccups with his iPhone, that he brings back to his studio to add to his arsenal. “Whatever I’m inspired to make at any given time, I just make and find a place for it later,” he says. “I have a large palette to choose from. When it comes to playing live I sort of just pick and choose from everything.” You have 2 chances to experience IG88’s infinite styles, Wednesday, September 23rd opening for Nicolas Jaar at The Showbox and Sunday, September 27th performing with Shaprece at Showbox Sodo.
