il:lo

il:lo is a French electronic music duo formed in 2010 by producers Andreas Schütz and Dejan Dejado.

Drawing inspiration from diverse genres such as trip-hop, jazz, and world music, their compositions feature intricate synth work, immersive atmospheres, and delicate instrumental layers.

The pair first connected remotely, exchanging musical ideas between Paris and Leipzig, a process that deeply influenced their collaborative ethos and textured sound. il:lo’s early EPs, including **Distances** (2015) and **Places** (2016), garnered attention for their introspective, cinematic quality and seamless fusion of analog and digital elements. Over the years, they have continued to develop their style, culminating in the acclaimed album **Sula** (2019), which showcased their refined production and atmospheric depth.

Their remix work and collaborations with artists like Emancipator and CloZee have expanded their reach, earning praise from both listeners and critics. Known for visually immersive live performances, il:lo have toured extensively across Europe and North America, appearing at renowned festivals and venues such as Fusion Festival (Germany), Electric Castle (Romania), and Brooklyn’s Elsewhere (USA). Their music, released via labels like Nettwerk and Emancipator’s Loci Records, continues to attract a global audience drawn to their emotive soundscapes and genre-blurring approach.

With each release, il:lo reinforce their reputation as innovators in the world of melodic and organic electronica.
