Friends & Family: the Illuminated - Breek (Eindhoven, NLD) #16

The UK's Jamaican soundsystem culture was a massive influence to the 3 Dutch producers who make music under 'The Illuminated' moniker. The outfit consists of Dyzz, Rebus & Vence’s & their sound represents the earlier dubstep, with inspiration drawn from the same places as the sound’s forefathers. The trio may have only been producing together for a few years, but they’re quick on their way to joining the likes of Noisia, Icicle, Proxima & TMSV as internationally known & respected Dutch bass music producers.

One of their first productions ‘Scavenger' caught the attention of Skream & Benga on Radio 1. Support from other big names quickly followed with the likes of Joe Nice, who’s often quick to rewind many an Illuminated tune, Wheel & Deal's N-Type & Biscuit Factory Records' Walsh lining up to support The Illuminated’s music. The trio have a number of releases lined up for 2014, with an astounding new EP due out in March.
