Synopsis

Album Description

Ils releases his third album Bohemia on Distinctive continuing his exploration of the assorted flavours of breakbeat science. His knack at combining melody and harmony with astute dancefloor savvy is his trademark; whether jazzy drum and bass tracks for LTJ Bukem's label in the mid '90's to production duties for James Lavelle's Mo Wax Records or creating arguably the biggest breakbeat track ever with Next Level. Bohemia the album weaves its way through the spiritual, rocky, decadent and moving; gives a nod to Eastern Europe and the characters he has met there on his travels including Bulgarian singer Plavka featured on the ethereal, free flowing 'song' Razor; While the effect of the war in Irag on our man has had a significant effect, with tracks such as life is Precious. Yes there are a variety of emotions here but the outstanding feature is the quality at every turn? whether you look at rocky radio track Cherish featuring indie singer Val (Bee Stings) to multi-layered breakbeat feast Storm From The East. He executes every track and every part of every track beautifully.

CD Reviews

Poor sound quality.

Hammer-Y | Lalaland | 09/25/2007

(3 out of 5 stars)

"I wished the sound quality was better. They need to go back and re-mix this CD with better equipment. The whole CD sounds flat for what the music is. Compared to the quality I can hear from Underworld and Orbital and bands like them, they need to have that sort of clarity. Otherwise it's pointless to make this sort of music."

Excellent

"DJ Ils had a lot to live up to after his Y4K success, and I ordered the CD with a lot of expectations. When I popped it in, I was not disappointed in the least! Ils's breaks remain clean, tight, and funky; as opposed to so many recent break releases with out-of-wack rhythms and messy, hit-and-miss tunes. The only gripe I have with this CD are some of the vocal tracks, where I feel the vocal quality and songwriting could have been better; don't get me wrong, they're still quality tracks. Ils, if you read this, try listening to the vocals on DJ Encore's album with his vocal partner Engeline for an example of fantastic vocals- different genre completely, but stunning vocals! This album is one of those rare ones with consistently good tracks throughout. Unlike his Y4K album which had a few horrible tracks, this one is all class. You will not be disappointed!"
