Illum Sphere, the moniker of Manchester-based electronic music producer Ryan Hunn, has carved a niche for himself in the contemporary electronic music landscape with his genre-blurring compositions and atmospheric soundscapes. Emerging onto the scene with his first EP "Long Live the Plan" in 2009, Hunn quickly garnered attention for his distinctive fusion of elements from hip-hop, techno, and experimental music. His work is characterized by a deep exploration of textures and moods, often venturing into the cerebral realms of sound.

The full-length album "Ghosts of Then and Now" from 2014 stands as a testament to his evolution as an artist, offering a cohesive journey through lush synths and intricate rhythms that deftly balance emotional resonance with heady abstraction. Following up, releases like "Spectre Vex" and "Second Sight" further showcased his prowess at melding haunting melodies with propulsive beats. With "Glass" in 2016 and its accompanying "Glass Remixes," Illum Sphere pushed his boundaries even further, harnessing a stark, minimalist approach that brought the finer details of his sound design to the forefront. Through his work, Hunn maintains a sense of enigmatic allure, ensuring that each release is a deep dive into the ever-expanding universe of Illum Sphere's sonic imagination.
