Strafing the global disco and house scene for almost twenty years now, Ilija Rudman blasted out well over 70 releases to this day touching almost every sub-style in these two categories. Eclectic in his DJ-ing with wide brilliance in the studio, he managed to implement a unique sound carrier through all of his musical paths. Starting with his Red Music Records back in 2003 and subsequently igniting his Imogen Recording, now legendary label in the disco-house sphere, where artists like Charles Webster (Presence), Ilan Kabiljo, Robert Owens, Don Carlos, Darshan Jesrani, Dos Palos (Faze Action) or The Brand New Heavies are collaborating with Ilija on original music, aimed for an audience with a very sophisticated sense of quality.
Naturally, he made his mark on multiple other labels like Rong Music, Bear Funk, 2020 Vision, Electric Minds, Jisco Music/UTS, Instruments Of Rapture, Is It Balearic, Compost Records, Wolf Music, Tirk, Love Is War Music, ISM, IRMA, Azuli or Defected/Classic Music Company exposing and establishing him at the forefront of the scene in the last decade.
Five studio albums are just the topping of the entire work done in this large span and 2021 brings us his newest album under the DEAD HORSE GANG moniker. It’s a brainchild music band/brand by Ilija dedicated to cinematic dance concept laying on the Los Angeles Funk attitude, Art Of Noise perception of sound and raw 12-bit grooves making a statement of mid 80’s culture with surf vibe of California summer.
“Dead Horse Gang Music is more than music, it is a way of life, a way of thinking, a path to a maximum freedom of the one, who can accept it.”
