STEVE MILLER (AFTERLIFE / LUX)
Top UK Chillout producer Steve Miller is one of the most played artists in Ibiza history, he is the sunset phenomenon, a purveyor of romantic and melancholic mood music. As Afterlife and Lux he created both opening tracks on Café del Mar vol.7 and features tracks on colume three, four, six and eight. Steve produces Chill classics as his Simplicity 2000 album has proven.
During his career as a producer Steve has worked with K - Klass, Jose Padilla,
Chris Coco, Lenny Ibizarre, Phil Mison, Pete Gooding and others too numerous
to mention. He comes from a jazz / reggae background cutting his engineering
and production techniques with the legendary Karl Pitterson who produced Handsworth
Revolution by Steel Pulse and engineered the Exodus album for Bob Marley.
The first ever Afterlife gig was played at The Glade in Glastonbury Festival 2000 to a very surprised audience: they were not expecting chillout but loved it all the same. Other gigs in Ibiza during July that year including the exquisite Dreamdaze at Kumharas, Pacha Playa, Base Bar and rounding off by headlining at Cafe Del Mar 20th anniversary along with A Man Called Adam, Mandalay, Levitation and Trumpetman. The gig was televised by MTV.
His latest release,
The Afterlife Lounge, was highly acclaimed and Steve is working with ex Café
Mambo resident Pete Gooding as No Logo as well as pioneering new forms of chillout
and downtempo as Afterlife, keeping the genre fresh.
