December 2, 2009

The latest mixtape from my brother from another Jay-iLLa…the press release below pretty much says it all.

Just because 2009 is about to wrap up doesn’t mean that it’s a wrap for good music. Chi-Town’s busiest and most progressive DJ, the nightclub and mixtape marauder known as Jay Illa, is continuing to pump the people with memorable music by releasing his latest live mixtape entitled…

iLLaNOise Live @ Shrine :: What’s Old is New

Rocking a live show is definitely an art form that is widely appreciated by both fans and fellow performers alike but rarely achieved by today’s crop of cookie-cutter deejays.

Never one to follow the crowd, Jay Illa always manages to move the crowd and turn any venue into a party, capturing the energy, excitement, diversity and pure magic of his live performances in this comprehensive mix. Effortlessly cross-fading and combining several genres of music into his set, iLLaNOise Live @ Shrine :: What’s Old is New features a blend of classic artists and current favorites ranging from Beyonce and Musiq to De La Soul, Groove Theory and New Edition.

If you’ve ever experienced iLLaNOise live on the 1’s and 2’s then you already know how he gets down, but in case you don’t, this mixtape is guaranteed to bring you up to speed. Check the partial playlist below to peep just a few of the gems, with the completed playlist available on www.illanoise.net, the online destination for all things Illa.

Welcome To Chicago’s iLLaNOise…

November 2, 2009

…is latest mixtape from my brother from another, Jay-iLLa. The official press release, download link and tracklist are after the jump, but let me just say a few things really quick…

1.) Get familiar….this is a REAL mixtape…..from a REAL DJ.

2.) No, he’s not screaming his name and a bunch of bullshit over an iTunes playlist.

3.) No, he didn’t just pick up a laptop, install iTunes, purchase Serato and start spinning yesterday.

4.) ……Go IL or Go Home.

“The Windy City’s own iLLaNOise aka Jay iLLa presents his latest mixtape, Chicago’s iLLaNOise. This is the first of an upcoming series of mixes that merges new age mixtape style with an old school mixtape feel. With each installment, iLLaNOise will cover different genres of music including 80s, house, pop and more!

iLLaNOise blends well known gems from the likes of Jay-Z, Drake and Notorious B.I.G with original tracks from some of Chicago’s hottest local talent. “I wanted to pick fun records that my fans can relate to and at the same time, provide a platform for Chicago’s unsigned talent,” said Jay iLLa of his inspiration behind the project.”
