iQoniK ignites the past and present with high-octane single “Throwback”

There is a point just before the bass drops when time seems to slow down. "Throwback" by iQoniK lives in that charged, electric space between memory and movement. "Throwback," the artist's first solo release, makes iQoniK a bold new voice that isn't afraid to mix genres. It mixes the roughness of hip-hop with the fast-paced energy of drum and bass.

The track is meant to make you move, and it has a road-trip-ready, kinetic feel. The production moves forward with unstoppable force, with tight, punchy drums over deep, rolling basslines that sound like they were made for driving late at night or on open highways. The hip-hop influence gives the song a sense of who it is in the middle of the fast-paced electronic parts. This mix is both familiar and new, and it connects two worlds in a way that is surprisingly easy.

The song's feeling of freedom stands out the most. It sounds like an artist is making a statement by claiming their space and asking people to join them. The drum and bass backbone keeps the energy up, and the hip-hop edge gives it personality and makes you want to listen to it again. "Throwback," iQoniK's first song, shows that the group is just getting started and knows how to make high-energy music that people of all genres will like.
