YLEM’s production points to influences that chart the spectrum of music, with beats that pay homage to hip hop, drum n bass, trip hop and metal. Whether it be dark, rolling, wobbly, bouncy, grimey, melodic or whatever direction he chooses, his focus is on developing his own flavour of beats and bass.
YLEM’s sets are comprised solely of his own production and have been described as energetic and intelligent, blending complex beats with chest-shaking subs and brooding, organic grooves. YLEM has supported many of the hard hitters to grace the shores of Oz such as Plastician, Zed Bias and Joker.
"...All original, YLEM’s tracks deliver your mind to another place with their ambience and emphasis on sub bass..." Bob White, Earwax Magazine.
YLEM is also the promoter of Perths only local Dubstep night Watt Hz, a monthly night now at Bar Open on Saturday nights, representing the sound of all things dubby. YLEM is also heavily involved with local hip hop heads The Community assisting with the monthly night at the Velvet Lounge.
After releasing the Primaudial mixtape in 2008 to positive feedback, 2009 has seen YLEM's first official release on US label, Alterkation (ALT001). His track, Flying High, kept the Debut EP also featuring Illoom(US) and Surpass(US) bobbing around the top ten on Digital-Tunes for two weeks. His debut EP, Matters of Matter, is now available for download
Most recently, YLEM has been invited the co-host BASS CHECK! on Perth's most popular community radio show RTRFM 92.1. On air every Tuesday from 11-1 [GMT+8].
