Ickis Mirolo

Electronica // Dublin

" Ickis Mirolo has teamed up with Margie Lewis for a track on his new EP Hark! Crippling Sadness. Lewis’s timeless voice is worlds away from Morolo’s fragile electronica, and yet they weave together beautifully". - The Irish Times

"Hark! Crippling Sadness traverses moods so distinct and tangibly interpersonal, despite its highly processed production. It's a bold step in experimental electronic music, and takes the listener to a world devoid of the norm, the usual - it's bleak, but welcoming. It's rain on a window on a stormy mid-winter day, it's a walk on a dark beach - a nod to the transient, the void, the cripplingly sad". - Hoedaaenger

"He’s not afraid of noise and adventurously delves straight into corrupting the given structures of melody and rhythm with strange chirrups and washes of jarring sound that, rather than spoiling the beauty of thoughtfully-constructed patterns, emphasise them. Ickis Mirolo seems to have little truck with replicating other people’s sentiments and instead, delivers a noisy, unnerving and very striking alternative instead." - Harmless Noise

"Unlike some beat-driven Irish music which has recently been celebrated, but which seems bland to me, Hark! Crippling Sadness is full of character and charm." - State.ie

"Yet another one to watch on the Irish underground electronic scene. His sound it unique not fitting into to wide fuzzy genres of bass or beat music, he rather opts for a much more intricate and delicate sound that is irresistibly appealing."-Soundblob

"Ickis Mirolo has just released his PACHYDERMY EP to wide acclaim, The EP is mixture of all things in dark ambient wave music, house, dubstep and techno and creates a dark and dreary basement club vibe that really represents a half and half of the label and Ickis’s own imprint “Rand Records”.-FSL

"Judging by what live sets I’ve seen, Ickis Mirolos “Pachydermy” EP is just the tip of an iceberg of material waiting to be released. Comprising of found sounds taken from scratch or made from samples of objects, this is the sound of someone trying to find a meeting point between noise/sound art and basement dubstep. The music is punctuated by various breaks in order to put more emphasis on textures and sounds for the listener"- LittleGreen.ie

clean, minimal dubstep productions dominate the landscapes of [Mirolo], the kind you would perhaps expect to stumble upon in one of the many hip spots of Berlin.- No Fear Of Pop
