Milo Johnson a.k.a DJ Nature/Milo/Natureboy is one of our most elusive artists. But before the why ?...you have to understand his involvement with music that has unfolded over the past 3 decades. Legendary Bristol Soundsystem roots… Never one to jump a musical ship unless it feels right, Milo does his own thing and in the late 80’s made his move to NYC. The Days were spent setting up a trading company supplying records, fashion, streetwear with his Wife back to Japan, and nightfall frequenting the underground house and disco clubs to hear legendary DJ’s Larry Levan @ (The Choice), Louie Vega (Sound Factory Bar) or Tony Humphries (Zanzibar). Miles love of raw early House music helped lead him to begin his own early productions under his Natureboy moniker for Black Label NYC and Tomato Records U.K with the Ruff Disco E.P Vol 1 and Necessary Ruffness Vol 1 & 2, early personal highlights for Miles came with support of Nature Boy on Tony Humphries legendary early 90’s Kiss FM New York radio mix shows…remixes followed for Carl Craig/Naomi and with Miles sidestepping musically also in his DJ Milo guise creating the disco breaks/ old school cut up classic ‘Return Of The Original Artform for Mo Wax. Miles continued to nurture that ‘ DJ Nature’ sound and with that followed some of the most exciting vinyl only releases of the past few years…
Milo gives an unbounding importance to creating a ‘real’ underground sound that all discerning dance floors and DJ’s have to come to need and love. A sound that could take in a sample here or there from his extensive Disco, Soul, Funk, Hip Hop, New Wave, Reggae record collection. Milo releases always capture only the finest musical ingredients for the floor that create a new dance and sound that is always uniquely DJ Nature. A steady flow of some of the most exciting music of the past few years including the (now classic and collectable double packs) on NYC’s renowned leftfield House & Disco label ‘Golf Channel Records’ including ‘Ministry Of Sound’ licensed Destiny Reprise for MOS Underground Disco compilation. The Fwd Ever e.p followed shortly on Golf Channel and found itself on regular rotation and playlists of such DJ’s as Harvey, Eddie C, Cottam, Gilles Peterson, Vakula and many others. As well as both releases ending up in numerous Top 10’s, 20s, 50’s worldwide, and let’s not forget his remix work for Japanese label Jazzy Sport Recs and Delusions Of Grandeur records and Groovement Recs to close 2010. With two well received releases unleashed again for Golf Channel and DJ Nature’s highly anticipated first artist album ‘Return Of The Savage’ due out in Nov 2012 for Golf Channel and Jazzy Sport Records and super exclusive ltd mix cd. Other projects with Bosconi Recs and Herve…The elusive one is about to shine once again…
