Ikes grew up around music.

A Hackney prodigy, he came of age amidst UK garage and pushed his way onto rigs at the tender age of 14. Moving away from this, Ikes began focussing on hip-hop production.

Working with some of the biggest names in the game, the beat maker combines an ambient sensibility with an awareness of what works on a system.

New release 'Outside|In' drops on September 18th, with lead cut 'Pray For Me' receiving a much-discussed seven minute, deeply cinematic video.

A three way collaboration with Grammy Award winning J.U.S.T.I.C.E League engineer Edward Nixon and producer One Black Russian, 'Outside|In' is a dexterous, forever-shifting project.
