Victor Shade Mixtape contest

victor shade
Alright the results for the Iller Victor Shade contest are in. If you missed it, we gave the contestants the entire Victor Shade album and we were open to any length of mix between 5 and 20 mins.

The winners, receiving $150 in Iller gear and the prestige of being Iller than the rest are the dynamic duo Kut Cobain and Rakka 397. They cut and chopped pretty much every track in the album into a solid 9 min sampler mixtape that’s tight enough to keep you hitting rewind all day, and serves as a real good showcase for the production and lyrical flavour on the Victor Shade album. Congratulations guys!

Listen to the official Iller Victor Shade mixtape below

Dibiase – Machines Hate Me

Dibiase
I’ve been looking forward to the brand new album by LA producer Dibiase for months now, and the promo for the album arrived today! He’s featured on the iller blog a couple times now but each new project brings a whole new bag of neck breaking computer game inspired boom bap freshness. The amazing track Eternia sets the pace for Machines Hate Me which then bumps though 15 tracks of crisp & bass heavy music.

There’s a guest appearance by another massive favourite of ours – Devonwho on Renegade Slap ( i’m sure i heard Eli Porter in there too haha) and the ill-track Lumberjack that you can listen to and download below + scroll down a little further for a live Dibiase video and interview.

OH NO + iPad + Korg


OH NO talks about partying in Madlib’s room, the equipment he uses and how it’s evolved. Not much more to say on this except that the Korg app looks good, and Incase make nice cases. Really need to catch him performing live on those iPads. You can listen to the OH NO track “Coffee Break” below
