Lusine

by John Bush
Texan Jeff McIlwain produces ambient/experimental techno that harks back to the era of classic early-90s British techno (itself inspired by American sources in Detroit). Highly melodic though usually highly abrasive as well, his self-titled debut album was released in 1999 on the Isophlux label. He maintained a steady release schedule through 2003, with a full-length released each year — in addition to an assortment of singles and EPs.
