Now just uploading the occasional mix...

Miles aka 8maos has been a constant in the Portland rave community since 2015, lighting up dance floors from behind and in front of the decks. He may have dipped out to drive his van around the continent for a few years but his heart never left. Living in a van for 3 years naturally compelled him to live a minimal lifestyle, which just reinforced and grew his love for minimal music. Getting wrecked by some of the best DJs on the planet on his travels certainly helped ;)

Now he's back to bring the music he loves to the community he loves through his new party series Thread the Needle. Whether he's curating or DJing Miles gravitates towards music that pulls you in - deep, dark, groovy, textured, sensual. His joy of selecting tracks for each unique environment, for the vibe of the party and the people, breathes life into his music and takes his mixing to the next level.

EDITIONS MEGO/MIDNIGHT SHIFT/SANDWELL DISTRICT

Rivet’s debut album On Feather and Wire – released 20 years into his career at the end of 2020 on the revered Editions Mego label – surprised and delighted with its punk spirit, industrial pulse, sensual atmospherics, and body music flavor, gave us a better sense of what the Malmö favorite is capable of. Hinted at by his work as the body music enthusiast behind Kess Kill record label and the years honing his production skills, first as Grovskopa and then as Rivet, his current sound has a sophisticated slink and a surprisingly accessible twist of pop, while still recognizable in its dance music lineage.

Winter 2023 saw Rivet’s second album ‘L+P-2′ dropped on Midnight Shift Records, with RA calling it, “A touching and occasionally searing portrait of grief through the lens of post-punk techno.” It came with accompanying remixes by artists Hodge, Nik Void, Hüma Utku as well as other friends and affiliates.
In 2023, he worked with electronic musician and composer Luis Pestana and double-bassist Gregory Vartian-Foss for a special SHAPE+/INTONAL commission and performance.

Always working, Rivet's third album ‘Peck Glamour’, due on Editions MEGO in march 2025, recognizes his dancefloor roots. But his other big release for 2025 will be as a producer and mixer of Sandwell District’s new album ‘End Beginnings’ due the same month.
