Live Artist
“The Perfect Circuit†is the culmination of a decade of global travel, an infinity of musical tastes, and simultaneous passions for technology and nature. An emotional fusion of acoustic and electronic components, it draws influence from rock, electronic, funk, jazz and hip hop. Debuting in 2007, ill-esha stormed the New Music West, Soundwave, and Victoria Electronic Music Festivals with her live electronic show featuring the Perfect Circuit Band - a dynamic, rotating collective of talented musicians alongside her laptop, synths and effects.

Disc Jockey -(D&B/Breaks/Electro/HipHop)
Singing since she was a child in various choirs and theatre productions, ill-esha has always integrated her voice into her musical endeavours.After being told she didn’t sound “rock†enough in her garage band years, she found a more accepting home in the world of electronic music, initially singing in the late 90s over DJs and quickly picking up a set of decks to become the first female in drum & bass to simultaneously spin, sing and MC.
Conquering every style of broken beat from hip hop to breaks, she’s performed with artists as diverse as De La Soul, Andy C, Dieselboy, Klute, and LTJ Bukem. Touring many times across Canada and the US, she’s also been featured on several television shows broadcast on CBC, CTV and MTV Canada. Her first vinyl release, a 2001 collaboration with Datcyde on Breakbeat Science called "Social Skillz" was wildly successful worldwide, selling out its first pressing and re-released four times in various formats. Never satisfied, she decided to focus more on music production and has been working both collaboratively and solo, with several vinyl and digital releases already lined up for release through 2008. Her eclectic, original style has rocked audiences from LA to Miami to Taiwan, in all sorts of club and festival venues as well as television, film and multimedia platforms. Currently she hosts a weekly radio show on the world's largest dedicated online dnb station, Bassdrive .
