Podcast SummarySInce 2003, The Difference has given listeners a taste of what else it out there. Mixed by various members of the critically acclaimed Illvibe Collective from Philadelphia, fans can expect to hear anything from funk to traditional jazz, hip-hop to bossanova, and soulful house.
About illvibeSince its founding in 2000, ILLVIBE COLLECTIVE has been solidifying its eminence as Philadelphias most prolific, well-respected DJ crew. An amalgam of partyrockers and turntablists extraordinaire whose combined experience totals over a half-century, this five-man family, comprised of Statik, Panek, Phillee Blunt, Lil Dave and Skipmode, has been making an indelible mark on the Illadelph music scene, both individually and as a team. Pick your poison: dance floors, mix tapes or radio airwaves, and its guaranteed that ILLVIBE COLLECTIVE will rock em well -- with their loyal, worldwide following as co-signers. As master showmen, ILLVIBE COLLECTIVE has collaborated and shared stages with groundbreaking artists including Gang Starr, King Britt, Jazzy Jeff, Q-Bert, Cee-Lo, Les Nubians, Public Enemy, Prince Paul, The New Deal, Zap Mama, Nelly and countless others. Here at home, their unmistakable ill! turntable logo is as recognizable and omnipresent on Philadelphias nightscape as Batmans Gotham City skybeam, exemplified by the roster of successful parties and special events theyve either hosted or headlined. The appropriately titled Bodyrock, ILLVIBE COLLECTIVEs hugely popular monthly dancefest, is an undeniable fixture in the citys club community. The one major thing about all of us is that our fundamentals, as hip-hop DJs, are very strong, says Phillee. But the ILLVIBE crew never limits their music selection to any one genre. Their repetoire includes a range of Hip Hop, Soul, Funk, R&B, 80's Soul, Broken Beat, House, Afrobeat, Bossanova and Brazilian Grooves. So although theyre fundamentally rooted in hip-hop, ILLVIBE COLLECTIVE represents everything good music is, regardless of its genre: inventiveness, diversity, fearlessness, growth. And they do so not only in the records they play and vibes they create, but, more importantly, in the manner that they approach their business and expand their creative objectives. Their extensive discography includes mixtapes, promotional mixes for progressive record labels, production and scratch compositions for a diverse range of artists. The Sure Shot and The Difference, the pair of online mixshows on ILLVIBE Radio, broadcast at www.illvibe.net, offer up all the boom bap of hip-hop alongside the multi-textured sonic flavors that round out the impossible-to-categorize ILLVIBE style. Theirs is a collective that may be difficult to classify, but its definitely sure to please. -Bio Written by Sheena Lester (Former Editor of XXL & Rap Pages) FOR THE FULL VERSION OF OUR BIO, PLEASE VISIT www.illvibe.net Favorite LinksContact MeSubscribe to this Podcast
