Episode 13: ICKY MAGDALA

July 25, 2025

After a 12-episode run of Back 2 U, Lexis returns with another Montreal friend for a laid-back record-sharing session.

Icky Magdala, a Montreal-based DJ and producer with nearly 20 years in the underground scene, draws from sound system culture and a love of bass-driven genres like dub, jungle, drum & bass, hip hop, and acid techno. A dedicated vinyl collector, she’s performed at Mutek, Under Pressure, The Lot Radio (NYC), and collaborated with the Dub-Stuy crew.

Beyond DJing and live sets, Icky leads her Bridges to Dub project, spreading music and good vibes wherever she goes.
