Welcome to iLLUMiNOUS music!
What began as the sister site to urbanATLbeats, an Atlanta-based music blog covering the hip-hop scene in general, became a blog to highlight EDM music, the culture that surrounds it and hip new songs from other genres as well. My name is Darris Pope, and I am a freelance writer who also mixes music as LUMiNUS.
I’ve resided in Atlanta for most of my life and have always had a passion for music.
iLLUMiNOUS music highlights music that I feel people should know about, particularly EDM but also underground hip-hop, Trap, and Rock. Personally my favorites are House music and it’s subgenres as well as independent EDM music.
My writings have been published in EDM Identity, Georgia State University’s newspaper, The Signal and I also spend time writing reviews, impressions and covering events and concerts. You can find me covering local Atlanta events on ATLbyDay.com under the pen name Luminous Mind.
