After highly acclaimed releases from OK EG and Donald’s House, Wax’o Paradiso Recordings proudly welcomes Naarm/Melbourne producer Midnight Tenderness (Ryan Hunter) to the fold. Over four tracks the ‘Hydrosphere EP’ continues the label’s narrative of platforming contemporary antipodean psychedelia with three masterful productions and a remix from Boorloo/Perth’s Hame DJ.

As a producer with influences rooted in dub, street soul, boogie and the DNA of UK club music, Ryan draws down on the Middy T sound with the title track ‘Hydrosphere’, a blend of broken machine funk, glistening synth lines and beautiful crisp drum programming. ‘Rain Vibe’ takes the sound palette further adding a hefty wub for good measure. ‘Catamaran’ transports us back to the golden era on the Balearic isles, with the original evoking Ibizan sunset cruises whilst Hame DJ’s remix brings some Madchester chug to the mix.

Texture Lord DJ Heure spreads his wings on ILIO003.

ILIO aims to give the artist the time, space and freedom to create music of variety and meaning. In approaching the 'Distant Hawaii' and 'All my thoughts' staple, Dj Heure stepped up to the challenge through an already challenging year.

'Out of Context' evolves beautifully from start to finish, with 5 tracks all exploring space, movement and an unavoidable feeling of emotion. Mysterious and enigmatic 'J.Pauler' joins in for a tension building congo romp on the A1 'Desperado's' While Heure ensures the rest of the EP will digest just as well in the home as it will behind a sub when we can all hug again.

Stay safe, the sun will shine again. Limited to 300 copies - ILIO More

Mic Mills, "Global Skywatch" boss dog, friend and family man gives us "ILIO002 - Variety Boy". Mic Mills, originally established with the now infamous "Untzz 12 Inch" and "Big Doint" labels, brings us an EP that is as versatile as the title suggests. Take a plunge with us through dubs, drums, synths and acid lines. Joined by long time amigo "Furious Frank" on the A1, Variety Boy then ebbs and flows from start to finish with low end subs, catchy hi's, addictive percussion and lots of "love" to keep you dancing until the cows come home.
Don't snooze, grow wings and take flight.
