Quickly becoming one of Manchester's most talked about producers, Illum Sphere has made a name for himself as a talented producer and purveyor of remixes for Bjork, Zed Bias and Warp Records. The UK DJ performs his downtempo beats filled with dark undertones and the occasional hip-hop samples to crowds at his regular Hoya:Hoya night in his hometown that has garnered him praise from the likes of Thom Yorke, Mary Anne Hobbs and other contemporaries. After the release of his debut LP in 2009, Illum Sphere was invited to play many respected DJ nights, including Low End Theory in Los Angeles and London's Red Bull Academy, helping the producer to spread his influence internationally.
