illus1on - UNDERGROUND TALES [KMS RECORDS] (TECHNO PROMO) EARLY SUPPORT FROM RADIOSLAVE PACO OSUNA

📀 ILLUS1ON – Underground Tales EP
Label: KMS Records
Catalog Number: KMSR036
Release Date: 11.07.2025

Detroit’s legacy meets London’s underground pulse in ILLUS1ON’s powerful new release Underground Tales EP, out via the iconic KMS Records. Known for shaping the trajectory of techno through Carl Craig and Kevin Saunderson’s foundational imprint, KMS now welcomes a new generation torchbearer with a release that is equal parts intensity, groove, and sonic storytelling.

This four-track project comprises two original compositions — Feel The Drums and Feel The Chords — both available in full-length and radio edit versions, offering versatility for DJs and broadcasters alike. Built around stripped-back percussive layers, deep analog synth textures, and emotional breakouts, each track is a standalone journey that collectively tells a broader story of artistic rebirth and underground resilience.

🎶 Track Breakdown
Feel The Drums
A relentless, rolling techno cut crafted for the dark hours of the dancefloor. Thunderous low-end and tribal percussion drive the energy, while subtle modulation and FX sweeps keep the progression dynamic. The groove nods subtly to classic KMS vibes, but with a modern, surgical edge.

Feel The Chords
A more emotional, synth-led trip balancing power and elegance. Wide-panned chord stabs and a swelling arpeggio section bring a hypnotic flow that plays perfectly in sunrise sets or late-night warehouse peaks. It’s a refined tension builder with cinematic depth.

Each track was mixed and mastered with club pressure in mind — delivering clarity and drive across large systems without sacrificing depth or nuance.

🧠 Artist Context
ILLUS1ON has been steadily rising through the European techno circuit, earning a reputation for high-precision productions and emotionally resonant live sets. With releases supported by underground tastemakers and appearances across London’s rising club culture, this EP marks a major step forward — not only creatively but in terms of international visibility.

His previous releases, including ENTRY on Beatport, have hinted at this evolution — but Underground Tales EP is the boldest statement yet.
