Mullet Mix 008 - Milo Mills

The latest Mullet Mix is by our man Milo Mills. Here’s what you need to know to get familiar. He’s a Vienna based multi-instrumentalist who has transitioned from playing music to the world of production. And it is this foundation that shines through in his output to date. Milo has taken on an autodidactic approach towards mastering new instruments one after another. If you’re stat-centric here’s a list: Drums? Check. Guitar? Sorted. Bass? You already know. And to round it up, throw in a little bit of piano that always comes in handy when producing.

Milo has been around from playing in a few bands to producing for a number of local artists. However, the turning point came in 2009. Inspired by the greatness of J Dilla and Pete Rock to name a few; his own production began to pack on more heat. And now after exploring a number of genres and styles, he’s found comfort in avoiding being pigeon-holed in one genre.

“I cannot limit myself to one genre only”, he says referring to his keen interest in all music and his passion to create music that draws on various influences that is appreciated by a broad spectrum of listeners. Milo’s production is constantly evolving and inspired by trends of the electronic music culture, yet touched with his unique style and influence.

After his successful remix of Janet Jackson’s: Rock With You, we were really excited to see what he is currently working on. His exclusive Mullet Mix consists mainly of “untitled/unreleased” tracks by the man himself. It’s a real treat to be able to have a taster of what may come out in the near future.

Hey Milo, for those that don’t know you, can you introduce yourself?

You used to do vocals too, right?
Yeah, I used to do vocals; two of the tracks got played out on local radio for a couple of weeks, but at the moment I’m focusing on my production.

A massive thank you! to Milo Mills for doing this mix and interview for us. Make sure to follow him on soundcloud / facebook and don’t forget to get yourself a copy of Milo’s chilled Paradise Soon EP in case you haven’t already done so!
