Illum Sphere is regarded as one of the most exciting young producers in the UK right now. It’s been a busy time since his debut ‘The Incoming EP’ landed in April 2009. Shows around Europe followed up dates at Low End Theory and Dam-Funk’s Funkmosphere party in LA. His Hoya:Hoya night saw one of the most talked about lineups ever at the Warehouse Project, with Daedelus, Gaslamp Killer, Rustie, Dam Funk, Mary Anne Hobbs and Nosaj Thing all playing alongside himself and co-head honcho, Jonny Dub. Add to that an invite to 2010’s Red Bull Music Academy, a remix dropping for Martyn soon and a BBC 1xtra Music Award, all in the space of 7 months.

With a production style that takes as much from techno, garage and psych as much as it does from hip-hop, dubstep and abstract electronics, he has attracted high praise from LA’s elite Gaslamp Killer and Ras G, Dutch maestro Martyn and Radio 1’s leading lady Mary Anne Hobbs as well as Radiohead main man Thom Yorke and a wave of UK producers, such as Blue Daisy, Paul White, Ikonika, Brackles and Kidkanevil. People in the know are tipping him for big things.
