Illuman8's latest psytrance EP “Diversity”, released on OmTap Records, shows a deep understanding of sound production, musical theory and control of dancefloor energies, weaving a compelling narrative through pounding percussion and lush soundscapes.Carefully selected vocal samples tell interesting stories throughout the EP, captivating the listener while percussive elements weave and shift. Canberra's Illuman8 give his multi-instrumental skills a work out, with guitar riffs and soulful piano lines that reflect his years of experience as a musician. In Diversity, tension rises and falls, and there is enough quality and depth in the sound production to reward multiple playthroughs.
Have a good listen to these tracks - it’ll make it all the more enjoyable when you hear them get played in the bush.
