Artist: Illum Sphere

Listening Station is an AiMT feature dedicated to exploring full new retail release streams via Spotify, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, etc. You must have Spotify installed on your machine to play the Spotify streams (duh). New stuff from El-P , Vampire Weekend 's Chris Baio , Will Dutta with Plaid , Illum Sphere and Jam City .

Hoya Hoya resident and one of Manchester's finest exponents of electronic music, Illum Sphere has a small but impressive back catalogue of beats taking in a multitude of genres. While we're eagerly awaiting new material, Fat City have decided to open up some of his most notable outings for remix. Om Unit's stunning rework of "Never Lie Twice" is our pick of the bunch with its spacey electro atmospherics and hefty sub bass assault rumbling along underneath. There's also a classy old skool jungle [...]

Illum Sphere will drop a new collection of guest remixes at the end of next month on Fat City , the label who played host to his debut EP 'The Incoming' and all but two of his subsequent releases. The package promises an impressive collection of artists from the world of downtempo house, garage and bass music. The lazily monikered 'Illum Sphere Remixed' will feature five expertly chosen producers remixing tracks from various points in his back catalogue. Among the producers commissioned by the Mancunian will be Om Unit, Ikonika, Dabrye, Scumbag [...]

Chairlift has come a long way from "Bruises." The video for "Met Before" appears to have been shot in a college lecture room with six female singers and one bass. That is all. Minimalism at its finest.

★★★★☆ Bristol's Tectonic label, the guardians of the dark arts, ancient secrets and sacred skills in dubstep and bass, set up a third upsurge of aftershocks formed by irresistible militia. After fire is opened by a tremendous opening salvo from venomous scheme team Kryptic Minds, Tunnidge and Pinch send in epically brooding Trojan horses, spearheading a collection armed with tenterhooks, tripwires, knife edges and hair triggers. While the force through restraint and meticulousness is admirable, putting the strange and beautiful into the dead of night, you're thinking it can only be a matter of time before [...]

The sounds for the evening were provided by Manchester DJs Mr Scruff, Air Adam, Mr E, Illum Sphere, Jonny [...]

With the 19 tracks on offer here, the band have done a pretty good job of bringing together many of the most exciting names in (UK based mainly) forward-looking dance music. For its first half or so, The King Of Limbs [...]

The fourth set of remixed tracks from Radiohead 's The King of Limbs album has dropped from the skies. In this group, Give Up The Ghost is remixed by Thriller , Codex is remixed by Illum Sphere and Little By Little by Shed. Per the usual, I have no idea who these remixing artists are, but nonetheless I enjoyed this group, particularly Little By Little. Check out the songs above:

Radiohead return to Studio 8H for their second ever performance (their first was in 2000) on Saturday Night Live when the 37th season begins 9/24. Alec Baldwin will host for a record-setting 16th time. It might be his last SNL appearance before he leaves 30 Rock or runs for mayor or something . Should be special, maybe Alec and Thom will have a dance off. Radiohead will be promoting a new album of all things, TKOL RMX 1234567 , the 2-CD set compiling all those King Of [...]
