Daytime mellow

Read our interview with Millú here: https://www.patternsofperception.com/post/a-chat-with-mill%C3%BA

Melbourne-based DJ and radio host @milluu has firmly established herself as a vital contributor to the city’s buoyant music scene in recent years. As a true drawcard for the local and global online scenes, and the host of two beloved radio shows, her sunny, groove-laden sound has seen her quickly gain recognition as a deeply skilled selector with an ear (and record bag) perfectly suited to any mood or dancefloor.

Both of her shows - Full Circle on independent station RRR and Dischord on Skylab - are renowned for their perfectly-curated oddities, and give Millú a platform to share her love for both musical diversity and the local scene, with guests and co-hosts joining her to explore genres as far-flung as kraut, downtempo and balearic, through to breaks, acid and IDM.

Taking these same foundational loves into the world with her as a DJ, Millú has graced the stage at numerous key Australian events, including Inner Varnika, Golden Plains, Pitch and Strawberry Fields, delivering stirring, memorable sets either solo, or alongside regular collaborator and partner-in-crime, @pjenne.
Recently, the pair have started work on their latest project, a record label called Companion (@companionmelb), which will delve into downtempo and atmospheric iterations of the electronic underground, bringing the language of ethereal 90s electronica, psychedelic IDM and ambient trance and techno to the present day.  

With Patterns of Perception 81, we find Millú's distinctively warm, dreamy, soulful and adventurous sound in full flight. In this vision, natural soundscapes melt into lush, patient melodies, which in turn rise effortlessly into urgent, liquid rhythms. A seeming disregard for categorisation is betrayed by her careful, well-considered selections and programming, and although countless sounds, feelings and moods pass in the course of this mix, Millú’s uplifting, life-affirming spirit is compellingly present throughout.

q. is there a story behind the mix? how did it come together?

This mix is a collage of music from my community. It's quite a reflective mix for me, and I chose tracks that I felt held me in a suspended state of thought or existentialism. I think this is a consequence of my difficulties in dealing with changes in my life that I felt not quite ready for. The mix is a way for me to stay a little longer in the place was before.


q. in your opinion, what would be the ideal circumstances to enjoy your mix?

It's good to listen to it alone in headphones, maybe while you walk around your neighbourhood. I would say it will be a bit annoying as background music, and it suits more deep listening. It would be cool to listen to loud in your living room with a couple of close friends too, but it should be people you don’t mind a limited amount of conversation with as there are parts I hope you would zone out together in your thoughts.


q. describe a favourite object in your living room...

I would say my bedroom is more my living room these days as it's the brightest room in my house and it has all my favourite objects in it. It's really hard to say a favourite as my room is made up of little shrine-like clusters of art objects, all of which I love.

Just because it's right here on my desk next to me: This roughly A5-sized wooden board with Green, Orange, Brown, Blue, Black, and Yellow play-dough pressed onto it in a kind of abstract landscape painting by Isaac Rayneau. I really love how you can still see the fingerprints of the artist in the play-dough if you look closely. Over time the play-dough has started to dry out and crack so you can see through to the board behind. The ridges made from the pressing of the fingertips have gathered dust which is impossible to get rid of completely, because of the subtle details like the fingernail crescents and other tiny details that I have become obsessed with preserving, precisely as it was given to me. The artwork has been travelling with me for about 8 years


q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?

I am working on some more visual art currently. I was going through pictures from my phone camera taken this year and began turning them into large poster formats. I'm quite a sentimental person as the above might have indicated already so I often do this as a kind of time stamping for myself. It ends up being quite cathartic to produce artwork like this and helps me feel okay to move on in the same way this mix has done for me.
