Artists
Izaak Stern (Singapore)
Izaak Stern is on a journey across musical tangents, where nothing is prescribed and nothing is certain. With an experimental modus operandi (which often results unconsciously in an “experimental” end product), the producer views beatmaking as an exploratory process. In the vein of Prefuse 73 or Flying Lotus, the warmth of vinyl samples are often juxtaposed against an electronic mindset, and the end-result is almost never repeated.
From the bedrooms of Singapore, to the speakers of London, Izaak Stern is a faceless sound emerging from the depths of the underground, with an experimental flavour that the New York Post says “will leave you cotton-mouthed for more.”
Late 2009 brings a first official release with Qilin Music, alongisde artists such as Kiat (Singapore), Muted (Iceland), Sinistarr (London), and Morphy (Glasgow), amongst others.
