In this interview, I spoke to acclaimed Scottish DJ's & Producers Illyus & Barrientos, With stellar releases such as ‘Shout’, ‘So Serious’ and ‘M.E.A’ on Toolroom Records, plus releasing some Beatport chart-topping records on Defected Records and Mother Recordings, Illyus & Barrientos have well and truly cemented their status as one of the hottest DJ and production duos in the UK. So much so, that they have featured heavily on Radio 1 (Radio 1 Rave Lounge, guest interview on Danny Howard’s show), and were asked to record a mix for the prestigious BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix series.
We deep-dove into their music production techniques, how to navigate the industry, and how to get signed to some of the biggest record labels!
