Classics, Re-Imagined

tyDi re-imagined multiple classic Disney songs for the latest 2018 and 2019 incarnation of the world famous ‘Disney on Ice’ shows. A unique experience that tapped into Illingworth's strengths as both a producer and a composer, he was asked to re-create completely new versions of the songs and meld them to suit the choreography as it was being finessed on the ice. Recording live players, new vocalists and re-arranging the songs, tyDi added his staple sound and production style to music that now tours the world to stadiums of Disney fans.

Collide-title@2x.png

Genre-bending Orchestral Electronic

“In the midst of the current tumultuous social climate, ‘Collide’ serves as a stunning and refreshing oasis amid a world of chaos” ~DJMag

“tyDi [is] back with an ever-so-tasteful vengeance” ~YourEDM

“…a beautiful blend of symphonic notes and heavy synths…tyDi has yet again shown us why he’s seen success since the start of his legendary career.” ~EDM.com

“When you watch a film with an intense score, you’re swept away to a different planet. The atmosphere, emotions, melodies and instruments captivate you. That feeling doesn’t always enter the dance realm. I wanted to capture that magic and bring it to the electronic world.”

tyDi’s 6th full length album, Collide, debuted at  #2 on iTunes Dance Album Chart (USA), and simultaneously appeared on Billboard’s Classical and Dance top selling album charts. Collide is a collaboration with 2 X GRAMMY award winning composer and seasoned vet Christopher Tin. A continuation of his 2014 worldwide chart-topping album Redefined, the 12-song album unveils tyDi’s latest artistic evolution as a songwriter and producer, traversing many styles and sounds.
