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.

Peace Portal began as a way to document the sounds of the growing dance music scene in the Pacific Northwest from the small but noisy town of Bellingham, Washington.

Over it's course, Peace Portal has grown into an outlet for underground dance music from the Pacific Northwest, down the West Coast, and beyond through broadcasts on three non-commercial radio stations, feature write-ups and interviews on the Peace Portal blog, new music premieres from up and coming West Coast artists, and parties.‍‍
