When we last heard UNO NYC vocalist Ian Isiah, he was making supremely uncomfortable music like Mindfvck and just generally creeping us out, so his new song feels like a bit of an about-turn.

Produced by Brenmar, Sweat is a window-rattling club anthem, with Isiah heavily autotuned and rapping about pussy, money, and weed. Actually, if you heard it from a distance, it'd be indistinguishable from "the real thing", and the fact that it comes from an artist with an art background just makes it all the more interesting – where does pastiche end and imitation begin? Incidentally, that's a topic that Adam Harper explored in a recent essay about "hardcore pastiche".
