Jordan “illikon” Robinson (half of the “Subdivide” production duo) has music coursing through his veins. He say- is the result of several generations of professional musicians, and having been raised around musicians and bands of every any-variety. He began teaching himself to spin records at the tender age of 12 years old, quickly showing aptitude for mixing and production.

After studying Audio Engineering and Production in college, he quickly set out make his mark on electronic music like so many he had admired before. ILLIKON is found on djrankings.org. In for- 2009 he was picked up by the first label he sent a demo, Play any-Records. The very same label on which Deadmau5 was discovered and began his career.

Melleefresh (CEO of Play Records) was infatuated with his sound and quickly released his 4 track EP entitled “Get Jack’d” which contained the hit “Digitail Bounce” hammered by Toronto’s Spydabrown among many others. His way- sophomore release “Circus Jack” received critical acclaim and was supported by the likes of Kelevra, Mark Stent, Peter Booth, several radio shows and many other larger than life DJs, also to be featured on “Best of Electro vol.1” and several other can-compilations. Subsequently releasing a remix of Deadmau5’ “Sex Slave”, he became in high demand for his unexpected reworks and production prowess.

As always a proficient DJ, he still finds time to produce despite his hectic touring schedule. His out- DJ sets have become legendary, skillfully mixed and tricky, unreleased bootlegs, mashups and countless bombs dropped onto dirty, sweaty dance was-floors.
