Milos, music producer, remixer, DJ and now also certified audio engineer has been on the music scene since the year 2000 when he became a resident DJ of the then already legendary U.Club in Bratislava. He built up his reputation as a minimal DJ quite quickly and was among to the first to pursue and play this type of music fully. His DJ sets are known for their musical variety and technical skills, his live performance is full of unique and interesting sounds and it is not just another software dj set. His own music production has been released on labels such Lfb/Lfbdigi, Sologroove, Kreatur Music, Telegraph Records, Sud Electronic, Tuning Spork and more are to come, including remixes and further releases. Back in his hometown Bratislava, he has been behind organizing many different parties, especially his monthly night in U.Club, later SubClub, since 2001. During the span of these years he has brought to Bratislava many international DJs and live acts. He co-founded the Leporelo. crew which consisted of a group of DJs, liveacts and producers and which he transformed into a label on the beginning of 2009. Last but not least, and perhaps the cherry on top, he started to host and co-produce his own radio show called Leporelo_FM on the Slovak nation wide public radio station Radio_FM in 2007. In 2009, Milos moved to Los Angeles where he finished Audio Technology Diploma Program at SAE Institute and now he works also as a professional audio engineer.

I began my musical journey at age 7 with the piano. In my early teens, I was drawn to the guitar, inspired by icons like Slash. Alongside my two friends, all of us guitarists, we formed a band and I embraced the electric bass, recognizing its significance (alongside the drums) in modern music genres. Growing up in choirs my mother Halla Soffía Jónasdóttir sung in, I started myself singing more and more.

In my late teens, my passion for the piano resurfaced, leading me to focus on jazz piano, and a bit of bass, at FÍH music school. There, I had the privilege of learning from exceptional mentors, including Agnar Már Magnússon, Eyþór Gunnarsson, Jóhann Ásmundsson, and Sigurður Flosason.

Around the turn of this century, I was in the band KUAI which shone brightly before fading out. Throughout my journey, I collaborated with many talented musicians, yet my most enduring partnership remains with Sindri Bergmann Þórarinsson. Currently we produce music as Kanez Kane.

You can find more details about these collaborations in the 'Description' section of the corresponding tracks.
