  • Bio

    Finally the UK has a Hip Hop instrumental band to champion in the form of The Illersapiens. Here to break the current wronged perceptions of Hip Hop as violent and sex orientated music, the vibrant 7- piece quartet from south London generate positive vibes wherever they venture. Returning to the backbone of the culture, through addictive horns, drums and base to uplifting and beautifully moving vocals from new soul talent Katie Brian (Rinse FM) the band hold the essence of a good party in their fingers. Instigator and rapper Mr Man completes this charismatic bunch with insightful, fun and velocity wordplay. The Illersapiens’ sound is unique and one that fuses all the best bits of Reggae, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Broken Beat and even dance elements like House and Drum n Bass with sounds from the metropolis they call their home. It’s no wonder then perhaps that comparisons to US greats like The Roots, Digable Planet’s and Arrested Development keep flying in from all corners. Already famous for their live shows up and down the country, and gaining a colossal following of critics and fans a like, they have recently gained the deserved support and salute from certified talent finder Ras Kwame. Having recently been invited down to perform at the legendary BBC Maida Vale as part of his Homegrown show. Elevate, the groups first EP, consists of 5 feel good tracks offering an honest pulsating window into their influences and passions. From the inner city romance of ‘Sweetness’ and addictive rhythmic ‘Bap Bap’ to home inspired ‘Brixton’ each song mixes sweet harmonies, thought provoking lyrics with energy explosive noise. The Illersapiens have a monthly residency in Brixtons Ritzy cinema every first Thursday of the month. PEACE SIGN TO THE ILLERSAPIENS!!!!!!!

    Panoramic aromavision is the future. A starfish's lifelong hallucinations of gelatin pools and of actuaries floating upon the foam and reciprocal ohm. Your eyes show as many deep and full shades of fire as a volcano in heat. Your essence is equal to the beauty of a galaxy. Blinking reveals the true visage of beauty hidden within your eyes. The stickers hugging the fruit smell better than the perfume of ambergris. You ever remind me of the enigma of happy thoughts I once forgot. Your layers of absinthe and torsion form concretions of hyper-alimentation.

    May you be as vivid as your hallucinations. Your tears evoke a taste as memorable as honey. Your beauty is multiplexed in contemplation of your multidimensional effervescence. The elves that play in the toasters wash their drum sticks in honey and sing strikingly colored anthems in perfect harmonious pleasure. In your absence I am forced into finding other forms of amusement while thinking about you. Entranced by the sweet harmony of your lips, I gaze beyond reason to find the oasis of your brilliant soul.

    Your hair sends forth a sheen remniscent of golden sunlight winding through shadows. You ever remind me of the enigma of happy thoughts I once forgot. Your eyes show as many deep and full shades of fire as a thousand supernovas. Your tears evoke a taste as memorable as honey. A starfish's lifelong hallucinations of gelatin pools and of actuaries floating upon the foam and reciprocal ohm. You have not yet reached the height of your creativity. Your sweet voice is like the application of aloe vera upon a sunburnt back.
