Finally I have bought tunes by Illicit which I dreamed about for so long. This artist is a highly recommended addition to any colectrors and enthusiasts tune bag.

Also recommended are:
1) mixes by Mr. Illicit:
Dub Messiah Volume Two
No Test Volume One

2) Any Ruffah Ras Radio record you can find, where Illicit hits the decks together with JRyder and Truspin.

3) Live recordings from Tha Amory series of parties.

4)www.ruffah-ras.com website, where you can listen to, buy and discuss things.
ATTENTION
For last few years I experimented with different kinds of sound. I devoted few years to club music in general, some years to d'n'b music, a year to dub and 70s reggae, a year to breakcore, IDM and analogous, few months to dubstep, 3 years to ragga-jungle. Learning about this genres I also listened to other music like jazz, blues, world, metal... any type. What I really wanted to achieve is some knowledge. Currently I find myself stuck with ragga-jungle and especially dubwize music, but there appeared some really serious things about this genres which started to turn me away from dancehall and agressive ragga. This happened after my investigation of matter while living here in Bermuda. It's the lyrics and agression. What I really DON'T want to do is to promote and support the sound which features agressive lyrics, like texts about sex, violence, murder. Murder is an everyday element of life in Jamaica these days and gun shooting happens here in Bermuda too. The only reason this happens is because of youth who think that they are cool gangsters, sporting tough looks and listening to gunshot and murder rap and dancehall music. I don't want to support the culture of murder neither in this country nor in my own. I still like a lot of dancehall and rough ragga which attracts me musically, but the attitude and things this sounds promote disgust me. Thanks to my colleague Wendell Daniels for some wise thoughts on the matter. I don't know if I am going to review something any more here, we'll see. All I want to do is to work, stay positive and enjoy the good sides of life from which I have been turned away for so long. Peace.
