illoom @ Scorps R Choice 2022, Boise ID

@ Scorps R Choice 2022, Boise ID

Recording from an absolutely bonkers event in Moab, Utah.  This party had to have the most celebratory vibe of any event I've ever played, in no small part due to the fact that the majority of the attendees were BASE jumpers and adrenaline junkies.  Celebrate life while you're still breathing people!

@ Retrograde Rodeo, Moab (Turkey Boogie 2022)

Retrograde Rodeo, Moab (Turkey Boogie 2022)

This remix was done for SF badman Roommate.  The original is proper dubby, and he wanted something with a touch more knar and dancefloor dubstep flavor.  that was the goal, this is the result. 

Roommate-Pon Mi Head feat Lutan Fiya (illoom remix) King Dubbist 003 out now!

This is a soundtrack for heartbreak and separation.  Mix recorded in 2015.

Wish We Were There, volume 1

This mix was one of the most difficult and significant mixes I’ve ever made.  These tunes were pulled largely from a crate I built over the last couple of years called “Grey Area”, a collection of sad music that I put together in an attempt to better understand and connect with my teenager, who was struggling with experiencing depression.  Our once “bestie” relationship grew strained, as the teenage experience does.  On November 18, 2024, they took their own life.  I was absolutely gutted, and still am.  Mixing music has always been a way for me to process and more deeply experience emotion.  Further refining the tune selection in this crate was a key way for me to process the pain.  
On December 14, 2024, we held a beautiful memorial for the light of my life, Zaia Karen Loomis aka “Grey”.  After the memorial, I returned home and recorded this mix.  
My intention is for this mix to be both a time capsule to help me recall and re-feel the intensity of emotion of this time, as well and provide a musical companion to grieving for others.  I hope this mix proves to be of value to you.
This mix pairs well with ugly crying, screaming into the void, and driving down lonely roads.

Fast cuttin trek thru most every style and tempo in my arsenal, as i defended my 2012 Salt Lake City Weekly DJ of the year title at club Zest for the 2013 competition.   23 tunes in 28 minutes.  

Illoom live @ CWMA DJ Battle 4-17-13 (Free Download in "BUY" link)

With a dub saturated sound, solid track selection and a reputation for bringin' it proper, illoom has been pushing the limits of speakers and genres for years.  With well over a decade behind the decks, James Loomis aka "illoom" has served as one of the pioneering figures in the Salt Lake City mutant bass arena.  Founder of Liquid Dubwise, one of the longest running dubstep nights in North America, he keeps his city on the cutting edge of subwoofer culture.  Despite a heavy rotation of  residencies at Dubwise, Basscamp, and the Hive in SLC, Sidecar Subsessions in Park City, and Basscamp's Temple of Boom in Black Rock City, illoom always brings a fresh take on the music and new tunes every time.  

 illoom's sound is defined by high energy, sultry basslines, frequent references to Roots and Dub, and special attention to wigglin the ladies' waistlines.  Ultra fast mixes and mash-up's see well over 30 tunes blended on the turntables in an hour, in a seamless progression that, well, makes perfect sense.   An old school disciple of the proper role of a dj to the dance floor, the man is an active participant in the party, not a passive face staring at a computer screen.

Constantly moving his sound forward with his original productions in the studio,  2011 saw the release of the 5 tune ep "Passing Time Until Armeggedon" on SF based label Avocaudio, as well as a remix of Roommate "Locks Pon Mi Head feat Lutan Fiya", released on London's King Dubbist.  Upcoming releases for 2012 include King Dubbist 004 to be released lat February, another ep on Avocaudio due out mid Summer, and a remix of "Stardust" for San Diego's Austin Speed.

illoom always packs ample vibrations of positive pressure to rattle the plaque off your bones.......a true 50 Hz Healer.
