Synthwave messiah Illuminate Steele, delivers latest video entry to the masses in her bittersweet tribute to Minneapolis purple royalty, Prince.

LOS ANGELES, CA, February 22, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Illuminate Steele releases her new video "Desire By Design (The God Complex)", showcasing her many talents as a longtime electronic producer, writer, video director and artist possessing a unique style and sound all her own. "Design By Design (The God Complex)" can be seen on Youtube.

Passionately expressing an obvious and heavily influenced ode to the "Minneapolis Sound" era created by such acts as Prince, The Revolution and The Time, Illuminate surprisingly also adds her own spin on the synthwave genre, giving it a much funkier sound than most, while carefully staying true to the avant-garde synthwave sound started by such acts as Gary Numan, Severed Heads, Schgelfwelb, Goldfrapp and Ladytron.

The very celebrated Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine once told Pitchfork magazine that "I'm a terrible bet when it comes to time". It seems that Illuminate's timing is just right for the release of this new video. Prince fans to Front 242 and Ladytron followers will embellish their groove in the many different layers of goodness that Illuminate Steele delivers with "Desire By Design (The God Complex)".

Her latest track oozes with a unique and hypnotic passion that lures the listener in, intriguing their curiosity just long enough to brand a catchy chorus in their mind, leaving listeners craving and wanting more. Illuminate Steele will continue to appeal widely to the alluring city loner who dons themselves in black, as well as mainstream beat seekers jonesing for a fix on the darker side of the soundscape.

See her as a formidable opponent that has just descended upon the local music scene in order to lure it down the back alley's of the gritty, dirty, leather clad "alternative clubs" of yesteryear, but recognize the sheer beauty in the truth that the best is yet to come, and the time for Illuminate Steele is now.

Currently, you can find the ever diverse Illuminate working with fellow hip-hop Minneapolis native Tall Paul and Chicago's Hip Hop Drill Queen "Katie Got Bandz", as well as a host of other Midwest MCs coming together on the Illuminate Steele produced track, "Manifest Destiny (No Justice, No Peace)", which is an ode to the Black Lives Matter (BLM)/ Stop the Violence/ Put Down the Guns Movement. The video for Desire By Design (The God Complex) is currently featured in Citypages.com's "Hot and Upcoming Local Acts You Should Know About."

About Illuminate Steele

Illuminate Steele (real name Priscilla Teashia Goodbear) was born in Portland, Oregon. Illuminate is a unique and intelligent singer, songwriter, producer and activist of Native American & African American decent, who cites Gary Numan, Martin Dupont, Severed Heads and Clan of Xymox as her most prevalent musical influences. Illuminate started out as a local DJ and promoter performing and promoting events in her hometown of Portland, and throughout Washington DC's metro club circuit while working as door staff at DC's infamous 930 Club. "I would like to kill any assumption that I don't produce my own beats; I definitely do and always have. From the baseline, to a synth hook or a distorted hi-hat. What you hear is a reflection of my soul; nobody elses. I learned to make my first beats on a SP-1200 drum machine when I was 17 and got my first keyboard at the age of 7. I am not classically trained, but a self taught "synthesis". I have a fixation for Gary Numan and everything retro-synthwave."

Aside from her music career, Illuminate is an actively aspiring BS major in Legal Studies with a minor in Astrophysics. She is also a multiple tour Iraqi war veteran who served in the U.S Marine Corps from 2001 until 2010. When not in the studio making music or studying, she is a volunteer Buddhist facilitator at her local juvenile detention facility.
