I-Level

On 14 November 2019, I-Level was a guest on The Do!! You!!! Breakfast Show w/ Charlie Bones. I-Level has been played on NTS over 110 times, featured on 111 episodes and was first played on 28 February 2014.

I-Level were a 1980s British post-disco, R&B band, known for their underground UK club tracks "Minefield" and "Give Me". Under license to the US label Epic Records, the band had some chart success in the UK and US. Other tracks by the outfit included "In the Sand" and "In the River".

Sam Jones met Joe Dworniak at Music Works, Holloway Road Studio, where the latter worked as an audio engineer. At the time Jones was a member of the band Brimstone and later they went on to form I-Level with Duncan Bridgeman. They were signed to Virgin Records in 1982 by Mick Clark and were signed a publishing deal with April Music by Lucien Grange. They went on to release two albums and eight singles and were awarded 'Most Promising Newcomers' by the readers of the music magazine Blues & Soul in 1982.

Over the years "Give Me" has been sampled by Sandy Kerr on "Thug Rock" (1982); AZ featuring Nas on "Gimme Yours" on the 1995 album Doe or Die; Lost Boyz on "So Love" on their 1997 album, Love, Peace & Nappiness; and A Tribe Called Quest on "Give Me" (featuring Noreaga) on their 1998 album, The Love Movement. "Give Me" was released on the compilation album Gary Crowley's Lost 80s (2019).

In the mid-1980s I-Level disbanded, however all three band members continued making music and working with other artists and musicians from across the globe.
