Illicit Music kicks off life with a fantastic first EP from Agar, while on the remix is the esteemed Kreature.

Opener Bad Side is a big and boisterous house cut with some naughty vocals that bring real sleaze and swag to the grooves. Hammering hits and frazzled synths amp up the energy levels and make this a sure fire dance floor destroyer.

Rebirth is then a more deep rolling cut, with loopy drums making for an infectious rhythm while percussive energy and smooth synths bring the vibes. Various breakdowns and intake vocal mutterings add character and make this one another fresh cut.

Kreature has released on the likes of Moon Harbour and VIVa Records and is known for his slick production style and off centre take on house music. Here he flips Bad Side into a bristling and punchy house cut with hammering drums and shooting synths. It’s full flavour and one to make a real impact in any set.
