From his early releases as Lusine onward, Jeff McIlwain’s electronic explorations make up one of the more diverse discographies of the past decade and a half. Effortlessly blurring the lines between techno, electro-pop and experimental composition, the Texas-raised/Seattle-based producer’s arrangements are meticulously constructed, but also filled with emotion and soul.
As Lusine, McIlwain has performed throughout the US and abroad, including sets at London’s esteemed Fabric nightclub, Tokyo’s Unit, Berlin’s Watergate, and Melbourne’s Electric Owl. Recent tour dates included appearances with electronic luminaries like The Field, Tipper, and Blockhead.
