"One of the many international artists whose presence we’re so lucky to have in Belfast is Israh AKA Utropiks, a Brazilian songwriter and producer. Filtering his love of Brazilian rhythms, spiritual jazz, Jamaican dubs and Africans polyrhythm grooves, he has swiftly proven himself to be a masterful multi-instrumentalist marching to the beat of his own drums. It’s an idiosyncratic, socially-conscious approach to songwriting that defines his new, three-track EP ‘No One Is Illegal’. Weaving a tapestry with bass, classical guitar, electronic drums, wonderfully soulful vocals and more, songs like ‘No Frontiers’ blur the lines between Brazilian Afrosambas, funk and modern electronic production to deliver something that is ultimately, uniquely Utropiks" - Our Belfast Music
