North London outfit Ivy Lab were brought together out of a shared enthusiasm for experimentations on the fringes of the UK bass music scene. The duo of Sabre (Gove Kidao) and Stray (J. Fogel), released their acclaimed debut album ‘Death Don’t Always Taste Good’ in 2018, produced one of BBC Radio 1’s top five Essential Mixes of the year, played worldwide from London to Tokyo to Berlin to New York, and continued to build the 20/20 LDN stable.
