" Lumin is a band that fuses the strengths of three highly individual talents. Vocalist Irina Mikhailova, formerly with organic trance act Medicine Drum and a solo artist in her own right, brings her classical training in opera and middle eastern vocals, a love of the folk and gypsy songs of Eastern Europe and her native Kazakhstan, and many a night spent at an outdoor dance gathering. Multi instrumentalist and producer Jef Stott, currently signed to Six Degrees Records and with a full album due next Spring, brings a sensitive touch to the oud, saz, dulcimer, yali tambur, and other instruments of the mid-east, while also contributing with software, synths, and beat programming. Producer and remixer Michael Emenau (also with 6 Degrees as a solo artist and remixer) brings crisp production and a breakbeat sensibility to the music, working on the electronic arrangements to support the traditional melodies.
