Brett’s Soul Meets illgorythmz’s Pulse in “All In”

By FusioNostalgia

Two musical forces collide in the electrifying new single “All In” by illgorythmz and Brett Altman. The track, a testament to their individual journeys and shared roots, marks their first official collaboration—a seamless blend of Altman’s soulful storytelling and illgorythmz’s masterful electronic production. While their paths first crossed years ago in New Jersey, it wasn’t until 2023 that the duo found their way back to the studio to create something truly unforgettable.

For illgorythmz, a seasoned electronic music producer, drummer, and audio engineer with over two decades of experience, the challenge was to push his sound into uncharted territories. Known for his innovative fusion of electronic subgenres, he brings a cinematic quality to his production. His work, which has spanned everything from downtempo to future bass, is steeped in a deep passion for music’s transformative power. A feature on Spotify’s Fresh Finds Dance playlist in 2023 solidified his standing as an artist who consistently redefines the electronic music scene.

Altman, on the other hand, comes from a rich tapestry of pop, folk, and blues influences, weaving heartfelt narratives into every song he writes. With a debut album (Not Quite Love) that embraced both acoustic and indie rock elements, Altman has long been recognized for his ability to transform deeply personal experiences into universal emotions. Inspired by legends like Jason Mraz and John Mayer, he has honed his craft on festival stages, in competitions, and through countless hours of live performance, earning accolades for his lyrical wordplay and romantic compositions.

“All In” draws from both artists’ strengths, fusing Altman’s evocative vocals with illgorythmz’s genre-defying production. The song captures the fleeting magic of a hookup, oscillating between moments of quiet vulnerability and bursts of unrestrained energy. Altman’s delicate falsetto delivers the intimacy of the story, while illgorythmz’s intricate beats provide the pulsing undercurrent of passion and spontaneity. Together, they create a sonic world where tension and release coexist, perfectly mirroring the thrill and impermanence of the connection the song portrays.

Crafting “All In” was a meticulous process that spanned nearly a year. Altman, having recently ventured into the dance music realm, found a new dimension to his artistry in working with illgorythmz. Meanwhile, illgorythmz embraced the challenge of blending Altman’s melodic sensibilities with his own experimental electronic soundscapes. The result is a pop-dance heater that feels equally at home in intimate listening sessions and on expansive dance floors.

This collaboration marks more than just a convergence of two talents—it’s a celebration of their shared beginnings and individual growth. “All In” is a bold step forward for both illgorythmz and Brett Altman, proving that their combined artistry can produce something far greater than the sum of its parts.
