Sheffield talent Atdhe (pronounced 'at day') was a complete unknown when he sent us 'Earl Street Groovers', his debut release which came out on Monologues in 2017. Fast-forward a few months and Move D was dropping 'Can I Borrow A Feeling?' on the regular, featuring it in several sets and live streams online, and we witnessed at first-hand the amazing reactions that the track gets in the club.

These two new tracks demonstrate his impressive versatility, with the title track 'Illusionist' a breathtaking ride through crashing old skool breakbeat cut-ups, warm sub, pitched up ravey vocal cuts, distorted acid womps and blissful Rhodes-esque chords. It shouldn't work, but it really does. 'Coupé' is a more introspective and subtle cut, channeling pretty late-'90s prog in its melancholic feel but with a more urgent, sensual groove and a monster of a break/build.
