With recent releases on Keith Worthys ‘Aesthetic Audio’ and Kirk Degiorgios ‘Applied Rhythmic Technology' as well as heading up his own ‘Atmospheric Existence Recordings’ his output is far reaching and making it into the bags of many. He landed up working behind the counter at Rhythm Syndicate Records in Cambridge UK for several years at the end of the 90's, hand picking records for many leading international household name DJs after a change in career left an opportunity to indulge in his passion.

This was a DJ / Production moniker for Miles and close friend Toby Slade-Baker. The pair played at many parties together over the years and were prolific on the underground club circuit in the UK. They were taken on by UK Techno pioneer and former Kiss 100FM DJ Colin Dale and joined his ‘Wildlife’ DJ agency, alongside Pure Science, Trevor Rockliffe, Dave Mothersole and others. Living City the name for their duo had several tracks that became big numbers for many Djs, forwarding on edits and tracks to Djs they enjoyed. One piece of work was also licensed to Eddie Richards ‘Fabric 16′ club mix CD in 2004. The duo went on to record a remix for UK ambient electronic pop outfit ‘The Orb’ with the hit ‘Vuja De’ in 2008.

AER002 – The Causal Structure 12” ep devastated dancefloors and was charted by the likes of Kirk Degiorgio, Patrice Scott, Keith Worthy, jim masters, juju&jordash, arne weinberg, xdb, jus ‘ed amongst others. Miles took his imprint A.E.R. onto the airwaves of London’s award winning ‘HOUSE FM’ radio station in early 2009 pushing sounds for the more discerning listener. After a season of shows, Miles returned to focus on productions.
