Biography:

iLLya is as energetic as he is enigmatic, tearing up mixes and destroying dance-floors with his unique and undeniable zeal behind the decks. iLLya has built a solid reputation as one of Sydney’s and Australia’s leading DJs and is a firm favourite with party goers, party-throwers, fellow dj’s and music makers alike!

For almost five years he played at Sydney clubbing institution ‘The Globe’ as a guest DJ at Switched On on Fridays nights and resident DJ at One on Saturdays. After three years he took over promotions with fellow resident, DJ Frenzie and started Fly, a successful Saturday night party which introduced Sydney to some of its favourite international names including Kaskade, Jay-J and Crazy Penis to name a few.

iLLya is widely known for his ability to take on any DJ he may come up against as he draws his audience in with an extreme passion that is truly captivating. Hence his unique sound is not just limited to the one style of music - he will cut up anything from house to break- beat to hip-hop and down-tempo through to disco, funk, a touch of soul and all the way back again but it is with 'house' music, that his true passion lies.

His record, music collection and jaw-dropping techniques on the turntables prove he is more than worthy of being one of the Top 10 DJs in Australia. It is iLLya’s reputation with the punters in Sydney alone, that really set him apart. In 2003, he scored the number 18 posit in the inthemix Australian Top 50 DJ Poll, 2004 he climbed the ranks to the Number 8 position, backed it up with the same ranking the following year and achieved this without the advised self promotion, stepping out of his own home town or releasing any mix cds or production unlike every other dj placed within the top 10. It was these rankings that saw the release of  iLLya’s first Mix CD, the first inthemix Australian Top 50  Double CD with Melbourne’s now legendary Boogs

iLLya has held residencies at Home, both in the main room as well as the exclusive VIP Terrace, at After Ours at YU, the seminal Sounds on Sunday at The Greenwood, Middlebar and of course The Globe, just to name a few, while also regularly playing at Monkey Tennis, Lady Lux, Tank nightclub and the rest..! He has featured on most local festival and main event line-ups, such as Vibes on a Summer’s Day, Parklife, the infamous Field Day and Harbourlife, Return to Rio, countless Ministry of Sound events and the list goes on and on, as well as continuously performing in melbourne and across Australia.

In 2004 iLLya added music production to the list when he got together with one of his like minded back2back DJ partners and closest friend, Toby Neal to form LAMANEX. It didn't take long before their music was being felt around the dance-floors all over the world, releasing eps on labels such as The Sound Republics, Spatula City Records and Matt Shrewd and Jay West's label, Flavors Recordings.

On top of this iLLya also produces music and djs with his Melbourne counterpart and Partner in crime, aNyO . 
Sydney + Melbourne = iLL-yO . Not satisfied with using the conventional club setup of 2 decks & one mixer, they prefer to push it to the limits by throwing in a couple of extra decks and mixer just for the fun of it.
iLLya has earned the respect, supported and played alongside international and interstate DJs and live acts including Mark Farina, Derrick Carter, Raoul Belmans (Swirl People), DJ Heather, Kaskade, Miguel Migs, JT Donaldson, Inland Knights, Dimitri From Paris, Crazy Penis and Jim Baron, Jason Hodges, Lawnchair Generals, Joey Youngman, Johnny Fiasco, James Curd (Greenskeepers), Bryan Jones, Littlemen, Da Sunlounge, Bob Sinclair, Roger Sanchez, Eric Morillo, Jay-J, Chris Lum, Dick Johnson, Soane, Hipp-e and Halo, Andy Caldwell, Darren Emerson, Harry ‘Choo Choo’ Romero, Sandy Rivera, Martin Solveig, Groove Armada, Roy Davis Jnr, Elliot Eastwick, Felix da House Cat, Cut La Roc, Resin Dogs, Nubreed, KLF, Krafy Kutz, Jamiroquai, Boogs, etc.

About HETHERS:

Taking the less obvious path into producing via artist and event management, Alexander ‘HETHERS’ Hetherton originally made a name for himself in his native Australia by rolling deep with local S.A.S.H favourites, Jack T and Neeso.
 
Going on to team up with and manage his friend, Vic Navarro, who started a well-known radio show in Melbourne, ‘Deep Audio’, featuring artists the likes of Luciano, Paco Osuna, Robert Babicz and Mark Henning, they have since gone on to launch their own London-based label, events company and radio show, ‘Electrónica Mundial (ETAMDL)’, exclusively highlighting tracks from undiscovered and underground artists solely from one country in each show.
