Illumina 'Beast Force' (Serious Recordings)
There might not be much information online about Serious Recordings, but the label has released a fair few records and is starting to become known for its banging, pure-trance sound. Its latest release comes from newcomer Illumina, but while the pounding beat and melodic build-ups make for a good start, the EDM drops and random one-off vocal result in a slightly disjointed record. It feels like the Turkish producer hasn’t quite found his feet, but it is his label debut – and there’s always room for improvement.
