Live Review: LISTEN: Ill Blu 'Blu Magic'

North West London duo ILL BLU have announced a freshly inked deal with the iconic ISLAND RECORDS, and to celebrate the good news the boys have debuted their first thumping single.

Sweet, hip-thrust garage house is what you're in store for here. Good ol' fashioned cutting-edge UK dance music. ILL BLU's take on the UK sound is brilliantly formidable - future-R&B, bass-heavy tunes that sway from deep house to techno infused soundscapes in a heartbeat.

The duo's debut single on their new label features the soulful vocals of singer MAX MARSHALL. MARSHALL's vocals float throughout the track, caressing the pulsing kick drums and crisp hand claps.

With such a stand-out track breaking through as ILL BLU's first signed single to their new label, it's definitely an exciting prospect to think of what the boys have got in store for us next!
