With countless internationally-renowned DJs hailing from the city, there is no shortage of world-class talent in the UKโs northern clubbing powerhouse.
The latest duo to set dance oors alight in Glasgow and far beyond are Illyus & Barrientos. The pair have diverse origins โ Barrientos has Chilean parents and was born in America, while Illyus grew up in Frankfurt after being born in Govan. They met on Glasgowโs dance oors in 2014, building a friendship over their mutual love of the kind of unashamedly big, oor- lling modern house tunes that have since propelled them to dizzying levels of acclaim.
In many ways, they are an odd couple โ while Illyus was growing up in the vibrant local hip-hop scene in Germany then Glasgow, distributing early mixtapes for an enthusiastic audience of friends, Barrientos was still taking classical piano lessons, playing Chopin and Beethoven.
In the studio, these diverse infuences come together to create some spectacular dance oor alchemy. Raw and funky, their tracks pulse with percussive energy and deep, infectious hooks. With stellar releases such as โShoutโ, โSo Seriousโ and โM.E.Aโ 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 Howardโs show), and were asked to record a mix for the prestigious BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix series.
Having already played at clubs around the world from Moscow and Bangkok, to Los Angeles and Mexico City, their touring schedule for 2019 grows bigger by the minute; with debut tours in Australia and Asia in motion, plus an incredible residency at Eden Ibiza lined up for summer 2019. Itโs looking like this year is going to be bigger than the last...
