about

DJ ILARIUS & DJ PESA
We're living in switzerland, Europe. We lve Vinyl. We're diggin' in the crates and spinnin' soul, jazz, funk, rap & rock music since more than 15 years.


THE CONCEPT
Todays music, especially rap music, is based on samples from the past. Music as rock, jazz, blues, soul and funk from the 50s to 80s are the roots of contemporary music. We wanna present to you the original sources of rap classics. For better understanding we compiled the original sample and the rap track side by side, so you can choose which one you prefer or just extend your musical horizon...
Enjoy it!



OUR RELEASES
Back in 2002 the first part of the Hidden Treasures trilogy was ready to hit the boomboxes. That mixtape was a huge success and it is till nowadays the best-selling mixtape ever in switzerland. *sold out*
Two years later, in 2004, Hidden Treasures Vol. 2 was released. The CD-release was a successful follower and featured swiss rap artist Black Tiger, Taz, Greis and Shape on self produced beats. The whole mix was hosted by Torch.

Since then we worked on some solo-projects. Pesa compiled a mix with all different kinds of the rock music genre.







In 2006, Dj Ilarius and his friend 153rd Soul did this lovely 45. The Lovejoys played nice cover versions of "the streets of san francisco" and "hit me till I'm blue".
Ilarius released his producer album "connected", which was also a huge succes. The "who-is-who" of the swiss rap scene as well as some foreign artists like members of J5, The Alkaholiks or Blade were "connected" on the album. Some tracks got a lot of airplay and the clips were on rotation on MTV.
If you're lucky as hell, you also have the strongly limited (50 pieces!) vinyl edition of Ilaruis' "connected" album in your crates. *sold out*






2008, we decided to start working on the final part of the trilogy. Now, three years of digging, compiling and mixing later, we're ready and proud to present you HIDDEN TREASURES 3.
*out on 20th of May 2001*
