He’s joining a great line-up at this year’s Red Bull Music Academy and was the recipient of the BBC Radio 1Xtra bursary to develop his work, Mary Anne Hobbs and Grimmers have played his stuff on that big station Radio One, and even Thom Yorke’s getting in on the action by playlisting Illum’s tracks over at radiohead.com…

A landmark show with some great upfront sounds and some deep talk with our shining star. Big up yer chests for tuning in.

Select quotes on Illum’s new stuff:

Martyn (3024/ Hyperdub): “From Manchester’s seemingly bottomless talent pool, Illum Sphere is def the one to watch for 2010!”

Mary Anne Hobbs (BBC Radio 1): “Dark drama from Illum Sphere… ‘Psycho’ is his strongest track to date.. no contest!”

Falty DL (Planet Mu/ Ramp): “Illum Sphere throws ninja stars with drunken Wu-Tang accuracy.”

Lorn (Brainfeeder): “I see 4am, blurred damp street lights, and the master Illum with his subtle torch. What can i say…. ‘Long Live The Plan’ is legit as fuck and new surprises greet me with every listen.”

Brackles (Planet Mu/ Apple Pips): “This is so sick, literally cannot stop listening to this.”

Wire Magazine: “Long Live The Plan… transcends influence and obvious method”
