We generally tend to busy ourselves with music that appears on vinyl but that doesn’t make us totally averse to downloading music, if only when it’s given away for free by the artist who made it. I came across this cracking little release today made by John Lillis, aka mynameisJOhn, a Limerick, Ireland based dj and producer who’s been knocking round doing various bits and bobs on our shores for many a year and I thought it was worth giving our readers a heads up on it. John comes mainly from a hip hop background and the music and stylistic appoach contained within shows, even though overall it’s a bit more far reaching than that. It’s an 8 track EP, hardly anything stretches over 3 minutes but it’s got a wealth of ideas going on while never feeling overly cluttered. I won’t say anything more about it, but it won’t take up much of your time, so go on, give it a punt. All details, download etc can be found on John’s bandcamp page.
