ILIKERiCO – Bells

South London DJ, producer and vocalist ILIKERiCO unleashes his new UKG burner “BELLS”.

Fusing mellow, dystopian soundwaves alongside layers of house and glitchy 2-step, the atmospheric instrumental lays groundwork for ILIKERiCO to flex his smooth, hazy vocals with typical finesse. The culture clash of sound swirls in a tour-de-force, distilling its raw energy as the rising talent taps into his ambition for growth and development beyond music. “Ready to show myself // Ready to make mistakes” he pleads, veering dizzily towards self-reflection as the shadowed confidence hiding in his intricate wordplay transforms into something compelling and universal. Backed with an electric DIY music video journeying through day and night, the vibrant yet nocturnal sonics on “BELLS” will continue to mark ILIKERiCO as a serious prospect delivering authenticity across UK sound culture.

Establishing his potent artistry between the diverse spaces of London and Brighton, the Dominican and Jamaican heritage artist has always been surrounded by powerful influences across music, fashion and culture. Most notably, early reflections on UK rap and grime allowed him to cultivate a rare lyrical focus under his previous alias. Harnessing grassroots support and critical acclaim from the likes of WONDERLAND, CLASH, NOTION and TRENCH, a natural development occurred within ILIKERiCO’s musical direction, as the crowded space of rap had suppressed his true passion and hunger for dance music. The rising talent would later swap rap sessions for raves, rediscovering a more authentic, true-to-self approach that enabled freedom to tell stories through sound.

A prolific producer and songwriter deeply rooted in the power of music as a universal language, ILIKERiCO has cut his teeth alongside esteemed names including Idris Elba, Charlotte Plank and Billen Ted, who recruited ILIKERiCO for his first official feature across “Pepper” last year. These pivotal collaborations have not only enriched his musical legacy but have also paved the way for exploration into new territories and sounds.

With DJ sets across the Prince Of Peckham and appearances on London’s underground station BALAMII, ILIKERiCO continues to explore the vast landscape of electronic music. Now primed and ready for mainstream realisation, one thing remains clear – his commitment to producing music that moves, challenges, and inspires.
