ILL.GATES (Muti Music, Toronto)

ill.Gates has for us this week a live hour and a half set he recorded while on tour in Edmonton, Canada. It is a real treat and juicy for those of us that love bass, glitch, dubstep, breaks and psy-hop in the mid and half-step tempos. We’ve had a conversation going with ill.Gates for months; both of us aligning our mojo to bring you supah-fresh beats. Out of it, we have two live recordings full of unreleased tracks. [Note: They are so fresh, we have some spoken IDs in the mix. No sharking the tunes! Support the artists.] His Edmonton set is what we bring to you this week. The second set, recorded at his recent Shambhala Music Festival performance, is a delight for later.

illiam B. Gates is a well-known producer from Toronto, Canada who previously produced as The Phat Conductor. Rumor has it, ill.Gates was formed when The Phat Conductor had his left testicle removed in a horrible gardening accident. When the severed gonad was left in a jar of almond milk it quickly mutated into the laptop abusing gremlin we know and love. This is no everyday laptop jockey. This gremlin is a dancefloor destroyer.

ill.Gates has his fingers spread wide in music. He and Robb G have been collaborating for years in the electro-house and breakbeat genres. He’s done work with Bassnectar in the crunky midtempo breaks world. And then there are collabs with renowned producers like Meesha, Little John, Bass Cadet, Mochipet, EPROM, Sub Swara, Stephane Vera and Hip Hop vocalist Masia One. He’s remixed DJ Dan, Myagi and Si Begg; had top selling tracks on Beatport; even a mention in URB as one of their “Next 100″ top artists.

Here at Jungo Road, we’re a fan of ill.Gates recent album Autopirate which includes the collaborations with Meesha, Myagi, and Masia One. Its a creative cohesive auditory roller coaster ride that demonstrates his breadth of production by bridging IDM, chillout, dubstep, hip-hop and breaks. Irma Vep, track 2 from the album, is coming out a second time with a big bang. Muti Music got some of the freshest talent from the Canadian and US dubstep and glitch-hop scenes to rework it. A total of ten tracks, including the acapella and instrumental, hit the streets October this year. Here’s a Jungo Road preview of remixes by Heyoka, Trillbass, Dr. Woogie and Sub Swara.
