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?
I am a young multi-genre producer from Vienna, Austria currently signed at Singapore-based indie label Darker than Wax
What do you want for Christmas?
I would like to have 26” rims for my Benzo.
What are your favorite Viennese acts?
My favorite producers from Vienna are salute and Mez. They are on some next level shit!
What 2 songs have been on rotation the most this week?
The new Childish Gambino tracks: Telegraphic Ave and 3005 are on heavy rotation at the moment!
What are you eating for dinner tonight?
Maybe some good home-cooked meal by my lovely wifey.
Any upcoming releases/collaborations?
Currently I’m working on my next EP. It’s going to be quite different from my latest release Paradise Soon. Also, I did a tune with 2008’s RedBull BeatSuite guest Amin Payne which will be released on one of his EPs soon.
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!

R.I.P. Lou Reed
When it comes to music, we're usually a little more electronically-focused, but when a man like Lou Reed passes away, a man who has had such a gigantic influence on the musical landscape of the 20th century, I feel it's only appropriate that we, too, pay our respects. Rest in peace, Lou. You had a good run.

Street Knowledge: Wannabes
Here's a short news clip on "wannabes" or "wiggers" from 1999. It's interesting to see how hip-hop's placement in the mainstream has changed so drastically since its infancy. While hip-hop is still sometimes seen as a "black" thing, race really isn't the issue that it used to be: these days, nobody bats an eyelash at white kids who identify with the subculture.

Mullet Mix 007: Embryo
Hey Boy! Hey Girl! It’s time for another Mullet Mix! Each time we like to change it up and give you a different flavour of the vast underground music scene. We are therefore very happy to have Embryo come through with a banging House set for your grooving pleasure. Embryo is a young producer and DJ with an immense passion for the music that is House. He has channelled his love for house by starting his own label WEAREUNITY in 2012 and has already a strong record of releases with some very talented new producers in the mix. This is a real feel good mix so we hope you enjoy it and share the House Luv!Hey Embryo, tell us something about yourself for the people that are yet to get familiar with you and your music?
Hey boy. Let me introduce myself then. My real name is David Varchola, I am 24yrs old, from Slovakia. Shoe size 44-45 and my girl still loves me.
What inspired you to start your own label and what are the biggest lessons you've learned that you wish somebody would have told you before you got started?
I think it was the will to release music from artists I liked (and still like) at that moment and I'm proud that I have 7 releases from 8 producers now. A lesson? If you want it right, you have to do it yourself.
What labels are you currently looking out for? Is there anyone you would like to collaborate with in the future?
Labels I like, right? Needwant, Strictly Rhythm, Exploited, Deep Down, Bassline US, No More Noise, Ecstasy, Kerri Chandler's Madhouse, 124 Recordings and 15% of Defected releases. House luv!
I would like to collaborate with a woman with an erotic house voice.
Coming from Europe, you must have been exposed to a lot of eurodance music in the 90's. If you could bring back one group/track from back in the days which one would it be?
Hard question. Every 90's R&S records artist/band.
If you weren't making music what would your perfect day consist of?
Girlfriend lying in bed with my upcoming debut LP. Isn't it romantic?
A massive thank you! goes out to Embryo for doing this mix for us. Make sure to follow him on soundcloud and facebook. And make sure to check out the releases of WEAREUNITY for some great house releases!
