Mashd N Kutcher - I'll Be Fine (feat. Illy)

Platinum and Gold record producing, festival headlining and Beatport chart toppers Mashd N Kutcher are continuing to garner attention from the masses, recruiting Australian hip hop artist and hit maker ILLY for their newest single I’ll Be Fine.

Renowned for their versatility, with their original work channeling inspiration from classic house music to deep clubby cuts and tech-house, I’ll Be Fine recruits inspiration away from traditional genre to one that is infused with positive energy. The track opens subtly, as Illy delivers a bold and unfeigned vocal performance above an acoustic guitar. Its energy builds alongside teasing percussion, before erupting into dancefloor, synthesizer euphoria.

Despite the past two years of pause, the duo has released some of their biggest singles to date in that period, most notably their Get On The Beers remix of Victorian state premier Daniel Andrews. Now sitting on 3.1 million views on all platforms, the track acted as a lighthearted beacon of hope during the pandemic’s peak in 2020. It placed at #12 on Triple J’s Hottest 100 of last year, peaked at #1 on the iTunes Dance Release charts and Australian Independent singles charts, and Spotify AU.

Since meeting in 2014, the pair have toured globally, playing tunes in almost every continent, and showcased on lineups such as Ultra Music Festival, OMNIA and Marquee. They’ve also had 2 Beatport number #1 records in singles Fiesta and Like Fire, as well as 3 ARIA certified platinum records for Do It Now, My Sunshine and Get On The Beers. Mashd N Kutcher are always on the edge of pop culture, turning their cunning eye for virality into commercial hits. Their most recent, Powderfinger sampling single On My Mind has been spun on Australian radio over 3000 times, for over 38 million impressions.

Through a career spanning multiple genres, 16x platinum records, 2x gold albums, 2x ARIA #1 albums, 2x ARIA awards including Best Live Act), 3x APRA songwriting awards, llly has cemented his position as an integral part of the fabric of Australian music. ‘I’ll Be Fine’ marks Illy’s first new music since 2021’s chart topping album ‘The Space Between’.
