Illumination. The London/Tromsø constellation of <a href="spotify:artist:5d3QPoFHdXVev7VVG60xAC" data-name="Nicholas Sillitoe">Nicholas Sillitoe</a> and Per Martinsen (aka <a href="spotify:artist:2xjNStXNOmaRCTXHV25IcH" data-name="Mental Overdrive">Mental Overdrive</a>). Pioneers in Norwegian electronic music, club culture and alternative pop.
Illumination are also well known for their exquisite productions under their “Chilluminati" moniker, notably the essential Café del Mar remixes of Mari Boine (<a href="spotify:track:3gxTVbGSWt1uWN4W6EtpsQ" data-name="Gula Gula - Chilluminati Mix">Gula Gula - Chilluminati Mix</a>) & Bugge Wesseltoft (<a href="spotify:track:4lUW2Bo611RKXfoyJyPYAa" data-name="Existence - Chilluminati Remix">Existence - Chilluminati Remix</a>). Both these remixes, as well as their post-rave, come-up-come-down anthem “<a href="spotify:track:67OgRT4l15OM5zQgQntCm9" data-name="Cookie Raver">Cookie Raver</a>” have all been defining moments of the chill-out scene.
After releasing several uncompromising 12" singles and e.p's throughout the 1990's, their eventual major label debut album came in 2000 with "This Is Illumination", followed by "The Chilluminati Remixes" and eventual second album "The Poppy Rocks", in 2004.
Nicholas Sillitoe is currently occupied with film & TV scores, producing albums with Norwegian singer-songwriter <a href="spotify:artist:49nP0U2x9Egz06cjDphoez" data-name="Anne Marie Almedal">Anne Marie Almedal</a>, and new artist releases with <a href="spotify:artist:5qMK5h0WYjmZELbkZUXB93" data-name="Neon Streams">Neon Streams</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:2ZhGLAopjPHOCwtBpNPRVV" data-name="Nicholas & Sebastian">Nicholas & Sebastian</a>.
Per Martinsen is still focusing on his electronica solo projects Mental Overdrive, and productions with Frost.
*NOTE: There appears to be another "act" also releasing tracks under the "Illumination" artist name, which of course is most unfortunate, especially when these other tracks creep into the Illumination Spotify artist profile. However those in the know, will always know who and what is indeed true illumination!
