This is the first part from a set I played in Denver, Colorado in 2002. The guys that put on the party ran a great label called Casa Del Soul. They were a bit like a US version of Swag back then. A couple of years later they went on to start Beatport, which is really something, but back when I first played for them they were just a bunch of cool guys who loved DJ'ing, making records and raving. Good days.

HILLA LIILA aka shambles (Borderline Babez, ID-Crisis)

- the other half of the duo/concept IDC (Identity Crisis)
- Co-Founder and resident DJ of collective Local Deep
- other half of the queer duo Borderline Babez
- Former promoter/resident DJ of late Pussy eau de Club (a concept with the history of 21 years)

Hilla Liila

The chairperson of Local Deep and a regular face at bars, clubs, open airs and festivals around Finland. The misunderstood messenger of house music. Known for their admiration for big vocals and wack beats, tasty basslines and seamless mixing. Crossing genre lines effortlessly like its a necessity for them to keep things interesting not just for the listener but for themself as well. Making a hassle with their lovemeorhateme-attitude. This artist is someone who needs to have new challenges while doing their work in the DJ booth or sitting at home making music. 

A Music enthusiast. Not just a dj but a character who demands on making experiences more than just good parties and nicely flowing sets. Wants to have an emotional impact on the listener/crowd - whatever the emotional response may be. No way near any boxes. All the boxes are in fact lost. Always expect the unexpected. Sound consists of everything; you can call it whateveristic.

2024 is a fresh start for Hilla as they pursue their dreams as a producer under this alias as well. This allows this artist to channel their more disco and house-vibed side. A few secret weapon edits in the bag and some originals waiting in the desk drawer.
