Influences: The illeists don't see themselves as a classic band but rather as a collective that incorporates numerous artists. The core of the collective is made up of Silas Bieri (Keyboards, Vocals), Miro Rutscho (Bass) and René Flückiger (Drums).Although the illeist collective is a new formation, the musicians involved are anything but strangers to the music scene. The collective is mainly the result of a continuous and mutual musical socialisation within the (formerly existing) electro-rock band dream pilot. The music lies somewhere between progressive drum’n’bass and soul flavoured trip-hop, gets its inspiration from Miles Davis’ bebop-jazz and is reminiscent of the eclectic sound spheres of Herbie Hancock. Through the analogical instrumentation the music has a unique organic vibe despite its electronic colouring.On this note – feel free to turn up the volume and dance a little…
