This is dope! How do one Colaborate with a fellow south african EDM Producer

This weekend was our first rave back after what feels like being locked down forever. I am still buzzing. 

This is my set from TOYTOY Morning Glory at And Club, Johannesburg. 
I had a fantastic time playing for this special dance floor who are always up for anything. Having that bass run through my body again is THE BEST feeling ever.

Thank you to all the ravers who danced with me. It was so awesome playing for you and your energy was the perfect welcome home. 

Enjoy.

ILLING provides us with a live recording from her playing at TOYTOY at AND CLUB (JHB)

Hailing from Johannesburg, Illing has spent the last seven years honing her DJ craft, playing festivals and clubs across South Africa and Ibiza. She’s the quintessential DJ’s DJ, having learned to mix on a set of old SL1200s before moving on to more modern CDJs, and working towards becoming the musical force she is today. 

However her love of music, and mixing it, started long before she picked up her first vinyl record. As a youngster Illing was obsessed with her parents music collection, and the tracks she heard and liked on the radio, and would spend hours recording songs to cassette and making home-made mix tapes. Clearly a career in DJing was meant to be. 

Nowadays Illing is known for the range of music she plays to packed dancefloors. She confesses that she hates to box in her sound or describe it in just one way, as its multifaceted and consists of everything from dark, deep, rolling basslines to energetic and interesting hats and pronounced kicks. She likes to keep the energy on the dancefloor flowing and confesses that nothing gives her more of a thrill than seeing the reaction of those on dancefloor as they move along with her and her music. 

As a DJ Illing is driven by the desire to constantly improve and find new styles of music and ways to innovate the way in which she plays it. This had lead to her exploring a mixture of Indie Dance, Tech House, Nu Disco and deep hypnotic Techno. 

Music is a lifestyle for Illing and outside of playing it she keeps busy by creating strategies for parties and events.

Here is a little something to keep you going during the times of social distancing and isolation. I recorded this set at home after a TOYTOY night inspired to play a closing set style.

Founded in 2008 the TOYTOY brand has evolved from humble beginnings. What began as a monthly club night has matured into one of Johannesburg’s premier underground dance music nights, and it’s showing no signs of slowing down. Renowned for their uncompromising music policy the collective of ardent individuals behind the brand are constantly pushing the boundaries of the music that Johannesburg clubbers are exposed to.
