AUDIO iLLS drops ‘TSH’ EP on Perky Recordings

Perky Recordings is buzzing to drop the debut EP ‘TSH’ from AUDIO iLLS. You might know them as E.M.Z—the runner-up in Hospital Records’ 23×23 remix challenge for their take on Lally x Lens’ ‘Love The Way’. With tunes already out on 1 More Thing and The Hornets Nest Records‘ 90-second compilation, they’re now stepping up as the Audio Illustrator, creating music inspired by life’s ups and downs.

The ‘TSH’ EP has rolled out over four months, taking on the theme of Graves’ disease. In a nutshell, it’s when the thyroid—basically your body’s central heating—goes into overdrive, which can seriously mess with your day-to-day and needs proper treatment. Each track is named after a blood test connected to the condition, creating a soundscape that mirrors its challenges.

First up is ‘TRab’, a bass-heavy roller built to shake up the dancefloor with its chunky bass, crisp drums, and AUDIO iLLS’ signature alien vibes. Then there’s ‘T3’, bringing a liquid funk vibe with smooth progression and a solid bassline. ‘T4’ is where things get deeper and a bit experimental—gritty and chaotic but still in control. Wrapping it all up is ‘TSH’, the title track, which takes a more left-field approach with immersive beats and trippy echoes. AUDIO iLLS keeps the tempo consistent across the EP but crafts each tune to hit differently, reflecting the unpredictable pace of living with Graves.

Perky Recordings is all about positivity, passion, and dedication. Life isn’t always, well, perky—but music has a way of pulling us through and shaping our stories. This EP is just the start of something special for Perky Recordings. Stay tuned!
