After his debut album, Know No Boundaries, dropped earlier this year, Ill Audio has been hard at work back in the studio constructing his next batch of bass heavy badness.  The Devolution EP is a wicked dubstep four tracker which showcases Ill Audio’s diverse ear for deeply cinematic, heartfelt anthems that are hypnotic, dark and sonically devastating! This one is coming out on the huge stateside label, Heavy Artillery label run by Faust & Shortee. Preview below.

Released 23rd September on all good digital outlets including Juno.

To celebrate the release I caught up with him to find out a little more. He also offered us his wicked future jungle remix of Laid Blak’s – Red, which was released on Ruff n Fresh Records last year, as an exclusive free download. Read through to the end of the interview for the track.

1. Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions, for those that don’t know, who are you, what do you do and what style(s) of music do you play?

I produce all tempos of Bass music as iLL AUDiO. I work with vocalists a lot and have played guitar for a long time so theres a lot of live elements going in the mix. Theres a big Rock & Dub influence in the sound.

2. Tell us a bit about what you’re working on now, any releases on the horizon?

I released my debut album a few months ago on Distinctive Records. I was holed up in studios a long time on that, and was really lucky to get to work with some of my favorite artists – Skin, Akala, Roots Manuva, to name a few, plus a full orchestra on some of the tracks. Next up I have an E.P titled ‘Devolution’ dropping on Heavy Artillery next week. The title track is about how mass media and big pharma subjugate the masses through covert means. Pre sales are hinting that it might chart as the feel good hit of the summer.

3. What other artists have you been feeling recently, who are you currently championing in your DJ sets?

Rido, Joe Ford, Memtrix right now. Really pushing the production levels, and not afraid to experiment

4. Which Club Nights do you play at regularly?

Right now im concentrating on writing music and upping my production skills. Theres loads of new material im getting ready to release over the next few months so Djing will be more for next year I reckon.

5. Worst request whilst DJing?

I got booked to play a wedding once. Everything I was getting asked to play I didn’t have, Abba was probably top of the list.

6. What are your best/worst DJ experiences?

Best so far was doing a mobile float at Nottinghill Carnival a few years ago with my mates. Everything from rigging the lorry to driving through the streets of London with a 30k system was unreal.

7. What got you into electronic music? What made you choose your current style and sound?

I got taken to some raves and big parties when I was just a kid so I got the taste for it then. I played in a lot of bands as a teenager but always wanted to do something that sounded totally different. Electronic music has always been on the front line of new sound but back then it seemed too technical and complicated to get involved in. I guess the turning point was when I broke a load of bones in an accident and couldnt play guitar. I had a crack of logic and got really into that and it all started to make more sense, and as the studio has gone more in the box over the years its been easier to get a big sound with not much gear. Im still trying to balence the live / electronic elements cause they like to fight.

8. What do you get up to outside of music?

Sometimes I eat, sleep. I have a girlfriend. I gave up drink, meat and substances over a year ago now, so my high in life comes from music, training hard and eating well. Rock and roll. I’m also learning about real science, alternative energy’s, ways to be self sustainable.

9. What do you think it means to be a “successful” DJ or producer?

To me success means doing what you love and making a living from it with the least amount of comprimise. Also the ultimate thing for me is making timeless music – if you manage to make a track that stands the test of time – thats the true test of music in my eyes.
10. What can we expect from you over the remainder of 2013 and beyond?

More music! I want up the production levels with each release. I have another album on the go. A load of EPs to drop before that. Plus I’m looking at getting a full live show together for next year and have some wicked collabs lined up that I can’t talk about yet.

ILL AUDIO – Devolution E.P + Exclusive Interview + Free Download

Want to know what we kept going on about? Here’s the video from our recent Electro Swing Ball including footage of Bertie Dastard rinsing it out at 5mins 30secs.

If you fancy seeing me out and about next week I’ll be warming up for The Electric Swing Circus at Birmingham’s Hot Club de Swing on the 27th September.

Right, enough of that, let’s get on to the music.

Free Music Wattie Green has posted three rather nice mixes of Caravan Palace, all ready for download. What a nice chap!

It’s always nice to have something new from the Jenova Collective and now they’re dabbling their feet into ghetto swing. Keep it up boys!

Here’s a nice light hearted tune from Kiss Me Yesterday with Extra Medium on the remix. Download from facebook.

Here’s a nice slab of balkan grooves from DJ Badre:

The new album has come out by Menage Quad. There’s a whole pile of great tracks here in a swing-hop style and it’s available from bandcamp on a name your own price basis. Here’s my favorite:

Loving the gospel flavours on this:

New Releases Skeewiff – Ghetto Latin & Broken Ballroom Skeewiff never seems to disappoint with his new releases and this ones no exception. There’s a whole range of influences going on with this album from latin, swing, tango, rumba, waltz and so, so much more. I’m not sure how many will find their way into DJ sets, it’s more suited to be taken as a whole album.

Highly recommended! Available from Juno.

Boardwalk Empire – Sounds Of The Onyx Boardwalk Empire have created a special music project entitled Sounds of The Onyx that features rare jazz recordings from the Prohibition Era remixed by some of the best contemporary urban music producers. There’s loads of good remixes to discover here and it’s available from itunes.

Scoured Cream Vol#3 On the last roundup two weeks ago I managed to miss out the other big release of the moment which was Scoured Cream Vol#3 from the mighty Spinforth. Most readers of this blog are probably fully aware of it already but in case you’re not there’s a whole load of great glitch, nu-funk and ghetto swing business going on. You can read Bertie Dastards assessment of it in the Free Breaks Blogs reviews section. Available to buy from Juno and here’s my highlight with the rather nice Jump & Jiving from The Phunk Junkies:

Bart & Baker feat Nicolle Rochelle - The Josephine Baker All Stars EP If you like the gentle, bouncy Bart & Baker sound then you should like this EP of remixes in tribute to Josephine Baker. With mixes from James Copeland, DJ Mibor and Bart&Baker themselves it’s worth a look. Available from Juno.

Jamie Berry EP – Teaser There’s a new EP coming from Jamie Berry on the 27th September and here’s the blues tinged Carnival from it which is sounding rather fine.:

DJ Mixes I’ve really enjoyed finding this mix from The Fritz this week mixing up in the ghetto funk end of the swing:

Dutty. Moonshine. In. The. Mix. Oh yes…

Last shout goes to this rather interesting mix which features live accompaniment on clarinet and trumpet:

That’s it for this week. If you’ve got anything you’d like included in future roundups hit me up on soundcloud or facebook. To find out more about my own events check out the Electro Swing Ball.

Nufunk Round Up

So you’ve had a successful music career for nearly ten years, you’ve released critically acclaimed albums and played shows around the world to immense crowds. What’s next? By this stage in their careers most UK MCs are looking to write awful dance-pop hits for the Radio 1 playlist or descend into the land of obscurity, presumably lording their faux celebrity status around horrendous cattle market clubs of a Saturday night in an attempt to cover their bedsheets in someone else’s fake tan.

Manchester-based MC trio Virus Syndicate have a different vision. Last year the group launched their own independent record label, Midication Recordings, on a shoestring budget. Fast forward 14 months and they are unveiling plans to expand into a fully functioning multimedia company – encompassing a recording studio and visual media department – along with a flood of new talent.

“We just thought it was time to do something big. Manchester has so many gifted vocalists, musicians, producers, video directors and actors, and we wanted to be involved in all of that. We want to build a place for new talent from Manchester and all over the world, to help them with our contacts and knowledge of the music industry and to lead by example with our own musical projects.”

The first of those musical projects is Virus Syndicate’s new single ‘Knock It Back’. Produced by OWSLA’s (for the uninitiated, that’s Skrillex’s record label) Teddy Killerz ‘Knock It Back’ is classic Virus Syndicate tongue-in-cheek social commentary against a fresh flavoured trap backdrop. The single is due for release on 15th September with a remix EP to follow on the 29th September which includes remixes from AlixPerez, Noisses and Teddy Killerz own ‘Drop Mix’.
