Berlin-based DJs and producers Mira and Mila Stern have officially launched their new label, MiZi MuZiK — a project born from years of collaboration, friendship, and a shared vision for the dance floor. Known for their unique energy behind the decks and deep roots in Berlin’s electronic scene, the duo first connected through Kater Blau’s in-house label Kiosk I.D., eventually teaming up for radio shows and curating standout compilations during the pandemic.

Now, with MiZi MuZiK, they’re stepping into their next chapter: an independent, female-led label focused on forward-thinking electronic music, creative freedom, and authentic community. With their debut release ‘MiZi TaPeS 001’ featuring an all-female lineup, Mira and Mila Stern are setting the tone for what’s to come — raw, intuitive, and grounded in connection.

We caught up with the duo to talk about their journey, what drives them, and how MiZi MuZiK is carving out its own space in today’s shifting club culture.

EG: Hi Mira and Mila, welcome to EG. How are you both feeling about launching MiZi MuZiK right now?

Mira: Hello, and thank you for having us! We’ve been dreaming about this opportunity for a long time, and we’re thrilled it’s finally come to life! We’ve collaborated closely with Kiosk I.D., Kater’s in-house label, for several years. During the pandemic, we produced a weekly internet radio show and implemented the ’43 Katzen’ compilation on Kiosk. This experience was both challenging and rewarding, and it solidified our working relationship, even under pressure. It was during this time that our idea was born.

Mila Stern: Mira already summed it up — it’s been coming some time, and now it’s finally real. For me, the excitement comes with moments of being overwhelmed or stressed, which is probably inevitable when you start something from scratch. But then Mira reminds me: this is our label, and we get to shape it however we want. No compromises, no trying to squeeze into someone else’s idea of how things should be. That autonomy is rare and really empowering. It reminds me why we’re doing this in the first place.

EG: Could you share the vision behind MiZi MuZiK? What brought you two together to launch a label at this point in your careers?

Mira & Mila Stern: MiZi MuZiK is a platform for electronic music, carefully curated, that is focused on floor-filling music and was born out of a long-standing friendship and shared passion for dance music. The idea for the label came during the pandemic after many years of working together. We realized that we had always been on the same page creatively, and it felt natural to take the next step and start our own label.

EG: You have a longstanding friendship. How did you meet, and how does that history shape the vibe and ethos of MiZi MuZiK?

Mira: It’s a funny story. We’re both from the same town, Halle/Saale, but we never met there. I left long before Mila started playing in Halle; we’re from different generations. I kept hearing about this other DJ who looked like me, or like my little sister. Even my boyfriend at the time said that after he met her, she had the same expressions, moves, and even a similar voice to mine, which was strange! We were finally introduced at Kater to clear up the mystery, and it’s true: we look like sisters from another mister. It was love at first sight, and after running into each other at parties, we started hanging out, exchanging ideas, talking about life and music, and became close friends. Based on that, MiZi is shaped by our common love for music, playing, and having the same ethos in life.

Mila Stern: It is a weird story. It’s rare to feel so familiar with someone so fast, but that connection has always been the foundation of how we work together. MiZi MuZiK isn’t just about shared taste — it’s about shared instincts. We don’t always need long discussions to make decisions. There’s a natural rhythm between us, and I think you can feel that in the label’s tone: warm, intuitive, a little offbeat, and rooted in trust.

EG: MiZi TaPeS 001 features an all-female roster of collaborators. Why was it important for you to highlight female producers on this release, and what do you hope it contributes to the scene?

Mira: We are a female-run label with a female graphic and web designer, which was important to us. We wanted to make a statement with our first VA release, as females are still underrepresented in the scene, especially producers. All the collaborations on this EP are new and unexpected. It was fun to explore this cross-collaboration, and I personally enjoyed exchanging ideas with my dearest friends for this EP.

Mila Stern: Representation matters — not as a slogan, but as something that needs to be actively upheld. For me, 17 years as a female DJ and 6 years as a producer have left their marks: imposter syndrome, getting talked over, sexual harassment — the list goes on, and I’m very vocal about this. There’s no FLINTA* DJ or producer I know who hasn’t dealt with some version of that. Visibility doesn’t just happen. Support isn’t just a word. Opening the label with an all-female release wasn’t a concept — it was a reflection of our reality, of the people around us whose music deserves to be front and center. For me, the collaborations were the first I ever worked on. Creating them with artists I admire and trust was challenging in the best way. It felt like a fitting way to begin: learning from each other, shaping something together, and making it count.

“We wanted to make a statement with our first VA release, as females are still underrepresented in the scene, especially producers” – Mira

EG: When signing tracks, do you look for sounds that match your established styles, or do you intentionally seek music that challenges your comfort zones? Any recent surprises?

Mira: I am always happy to find good tracks fitting to the style I play, which is tough sometimes. Of course, you evolve as an artist over the years, and with that, you always look for a fresh, new sound. I need music that challenges me and pushes me out of my comfort zone. As someone with years of experience on many dancefloors, I don’t want to hear what I already know; I want to be surprised by music. That’s exactly what I look for when signing tracks on our label. I’ve been DJing for almost 3 decades. It’s hard to impress or surprise me. While many tracks are repetitive, I’m currently enjoying the way that 90s elements are being reflected in new sounds, breaks, and bass music.

Mila Stern: We don’t sit down with a checklist of what “fits.” Some tracks land because they lock into something I already know. Others work precisely because they don’t — they interrupt the flow in a good way, create friction, or stretch things just enough to make space for a shift. That’s the sweet spot. If a demo makes me want to immediately rearrange my next set, that’s usually a good sign.

EG: Berlin’s club culture is always evolving. Which current aspects still excite you both, and how do you envision MiZi MuZiK influencing that progression?

Mira: Berlin’s club culture still has a unique vibe, but it has changed. People go out for the music, and the no-phones policy creates a present, real experience. The DIY culture is also special and rare. Additionally, most places have good sound and respectful crowds due to the door policy.
However, most places are struggling, and festivals and clubs are dying. Berlin’s expensive living and housing shortage has made it less attractive, and there are fewer tourists. The story has been told so often that it has lost its magic. There’s a general crisis in the club scene, moving towards either corporate events or back to the underground (which is a good thing in the long run I hope).

Mila Stern: I still love the sense of possibility in this scene — even if it’s more fragmented than ever. That fragmentation isn’t necessarily bad. It leaves more space for small crews, independent ideas, niche sounds, and scenes that don’t care about mass appeal. What excites me most right now are the people holding things together with stubborn DIY energy.

EG: What personal rituals or habits keep each of you motivated and inspired, especially during busy periods?

Mira: I find a lot of inspiration in travel, but I have fewer routines when I’m away. In terms of rituals, I aim for screen-free time, Pilates 2-3 times each week, and time outdoors riding my bike.

Mila Stern: I need a lot of alone time. Wandering through the city or escaping into nature with no plan and no headphones helps me stay grounded. I also love going to the cinema, concerts, and exhibitions. Travel is a big source of inspiration — even though it’s been a while since I went somewhere for more than 24 hours. And every once in a while, I need a proper rave. Not behind the decks, but dancing, being in the crowd, spending time with people. The music, of course — but also the silly moments, the unexpected conversations, the soft chaos that only happens at parties that last longer than a day. That mix of connection and disconnection is something I always come back to.

Mira: Yeah indeed that’s something I love too and what is very inspiring for me. I always use the festival season to find new music, exciting up and coming artists for my big birthday event at the end of the year. I love to get lost while strolling over there, dancing , and running into friends. We call it crew love 🙂 It happens not everywhere but at the usual suspects.

EG: If you had to describe the vibe you aim to create when you perform in just one word, what would it be?

Mira: Storytelling

Mila Stern: Interlock

“Find people you trust, hold onto them, and build something together. It makes the hard parts more manageable, and the good parts even better” – Mila Stern

EG: Looking back, what’s one piece of advice you’d give your younger selves about navigating the music business?

Mira: Keep it real, trust your gut feeling and do what you love.

Mila Stern: You don’t have to do everything on your own. That whole “lone genius” thing is a trap — collaboration, support, and asking for help aren’t signs of weakness, they’re how you stay sane. Find people you trust, hold onto them, and build something together. It makes the hard parts more manageable, and the good parts even better. I’m still learning this.

EG: Beyond the booth, do you share any passions or interests outside music? How do these pursuits inform your creativity?

Mira: We both love cooking, good food, and we LOVE oysters! We also love Mexico and are always up for a good dance. In our free time, you can find us at special festivals, enjoying urban arts, street photography, and architecture. We also love long walks through big cities with or without conversation.

Mila Stern: I also really love the one or two rare occasions each year where we actually get to rave together — like at your birthday party. You’re a genuinely great rave partner. But beyond that, Mira is one of the friends I truly share my life with. We talk almost every day — even when it’s not about MiZi MuZiK. When I’m struggling with motivation, dealing with setbacks or just feeling stuck, she’s one of the first people I talk to. That kind of steady connection doesn’t just support creativity — it shapes how I move through all of this.

EG: Finally, where do you see MiZi MuZiK heading in the next few years? Any dream collaborations or special projects on the horizon?

Mira: Constantly evolving, searching for fresh and new sounds, releasing unexpected collaborations, pressing vinyl records, and hosting our own events during special occasions (e.g.ADE, Off Sonar) or doing stage takeovers at festivals.

Mila Stern: We’re not in a rush to become a big machine — we want MiZi to grow organically, and stay flexible enough to follow curiosity over strategy. A vinyl release is definitely on the wishlist. And curating nights or takeovers that feel like their own little ecosystems — not just another lineup. We’ve got ideas, and we’re not short on inspiration. Let’s see where it goes.

EG: Thank you both for your time, and all the best with MiZi MuZiK!

Mira and Mila Stern: Thank you guys!

MiZi TaPeS 001 will be available April 11th. Pre-order your copy here

Ultra’s 25th anniversary: Between the noise, something else was happening https://electronicgroove.com/ultra-2025-between-the-noise-something-else-was-happening/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ultra-2025-between-the-noise-something-else-was-happening Wed, 02 Apr 2025 17:05:06 +0000 https://electronicgroove.com/?p=164694 The post Ultra’s 25th anniversary: Between the noise, something else was happening appeared first on Electronic Groove.

There’s something interesting about being at a place like Ultra when your taste doesn’t necessarily match the loudest moments. Surrounded by crowds chasing the drop, phone screens glowing in sync with fireworks, it’s easy to forget that there’s another kind of story unfolding if you’re paying attention.

Photos by Ultra Official

Having attended the festival since its early days on Miami Beach in 1999, it’s impossible not to notice how much has changed, and how much has stayed the same. Ultra has grown, become more polished, and much more global. But tucked between the spectacle are still moments of discovery, connection, and raw musical honesty.

For its 25th anniversary, Ultra leaned into scale, sold-out stages, global streaming, massive names. But beyond the mainstage and all its theatrics, there were corners where the music felt more considered. Where  grooves were deeper, and the energy more rooted.

The RESISTANCE Megastructure offered what many now expect from it: large-scale techno sets delivered by familiar headliners. With names like Carl Cox, Adam Beyer, and Richie Hawtin on the bill, the production was tight, the energy consistent, and the experience dialed in. But amid the intensity, Marc Romboy’s Saturday performance offered something slightly different, more measured, more detailed, and a welcome contrast to the heavy-handed pacing of the rest of the lineup.

Over at The Cove on Friday, Josh Wink delivered a set that reached deep into his roots with classic acid lines, timeless cuts, and nods to legends like The Chemical Brothers. It was a rare treat for those who came to engage rather than just pass through. The crowd, however, was surprisingly thin. In a festival that increasingly draws younger audiences, it’s not unexpected, but still, there was something quietly bittersweet about watching such a seasoned artist play to a space that deserved more attention.

And on Sunday, Four Tet stepped into the Diynamic stage takeover and slowed everything down in the best way. His set didn’t need to build or peak, it simply unfolded, quietly pulling the crowd into a different headspace. A much-needed contrast within the broader pace of the weekend.

Bayfront Park remains one of Ultra’s greatest assets. Even at full capacity, it offers places to breathe, to step back, and watch everything unfold. The rain on Sunday reshaped the rhythm of the day, breaking up the noise and offering small, quiet scenes, friends huddled under trees, strangers sharing ponchos, music continuing in the distance.

Ultra’s 25th anniversary wasn’t just contained within the gates. The surrounding streets of downtown Miami came alive in their own way. A growing network of pop-ups, intimate club nights, and satellite events offered different angles on dance culture. At Margot, a wine bar tucked away downtown, Dude Skywalker’s Eagle Room series brought together locals and visitors in a setting far removed from the festival’s high production. No LED walls, no countdowns, just music and connection.

This kind of ecosystem, where a large-scale festival creates ripples that activate the city in unexpected ways, feels like one of Ultra’s most important contributions. For newer festivalgoers, these smaller moments can open the door to deeper scenes. For local artists, they offer rare visibility. It’s not part of the official schedule, but it’s very much part of the experience.

Inside the festival itself, the environment remained welcoming. Plenty of food options, a generally friendly crowd, and a production team that kept things moving, even when weather forced a few quick pivots. The Ultra staff, on the ground and behind the scenes, deserve credit for keeping the flow intact.

Ultra Music Festival continues to bring people in from around the world, offering scale and spectacle. But perhaps its quietest success is the space it unintentionally opens: for curiosity, for deeper listening, for stepping outside the noise and finding something lasting.

Below you can  have a visual glimpse to all this madness, and tickets for 2026 are already available, so don’t miss out.

Eden Roc Miami Beach Resort provided the backdrop for discussions on marketing strategies, storytelling, and the importance of fan engagement in the electronic music scene today.

Talks throughout the conference highlighted the need for real narratives, rather than relying solely on sleek design assets devoid of real substance. Attendees examined how regularly sharing creative progress can spark interest among listeners, especially given the huge volume of daily uploads on music platforms. There was also consensus that promotion should continue after a release, from scheduling follow-up pitches to streaming services to celebrating milestones and community feedback.

Extending outreach to audiences in fresh ways was another point of focus. Suggestions ranged from hosting pop-ups and live events to exploring crossover possibilities with workout playlists. SoundCloud remained a go-to for emerging producers, thanks to its personalized interactions like messaging listeners who leave comments. Meanwhile, targeting specific global regions proved worthwhile, given that bass, funk, and Latin dance trends vary by location.

AI-based ideas encouraged participants to step outside the typical boundaries of dance music. Strategies included short video formats for TikTok or YouTube, along with the option of longer-form content for more in-depth engagement. Digital Service Providers (DSPs) were recognized as vital for many artists, reinforcing the value of building strong relationships with those platforms.

Also, other keynotes underscored the importance of staying active even after a track has been released. Extended versions and behind-the-scenes footage can maintain interest, and a new contract simply marks the beginning of a more focused phase. Networking remained a constant theme, with many noting the unique collaborative energy that Miami brings during WMC. The EDMAs/IDMAs hybrid awards show also served as a hub for celebrating achievements and forging connections.

Concluding the conference, Danny Tenaglia and Nicole Moudaber shared lighthearted stories that illustrated the history and camaraderie behind dance music. Danny, celebrating 50 years of DJing and having played in 50 countries, recalled moments such as being the first DJ to perform at Club Space. Both artists reflected on their enduring bond, forged through shared experiences over the years. Read our recent interview with Danny Tenaglia here.

With this year’s WMC, we’re pleased with how everything turned out and look forward to what’s next. We had a great time and hope more underground artists will join this conference.

Listed, Modern Art Theory, and Electronic Groove unite for a free rooftop day-into-night experience.

Taking place on Saturday, March 29th, from 4:00 PM at the Esme Hotel Rooftop (1438 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach), The Real Deal Party Feel will bring an old-school feel to one of the most important weeks in dance music. Bringing together underground veterans and local favorites, this free event will capture the spirit of Miami Music Week in a single day-into-night affair.

Hosted by Listed, Modern Art Theory, and Electronic Groove, the lineup features Doc Martin, Nikita, Matt Caines, Saqib, Rohan Alyan, Mason, Alan Amorozzo, Elizee, and a special unannounced guest. “This gathering is all about creating a communal atmosphere and celebrating the roots of our scene,” says co-organizer Mauricio Viana. “We’re merging the authentic spirit of the old-school days with fresh energy, something much needed in this tik-tok music world.”

Esme Hotel’s rooftop, simply known as The Roof, will set the stage for the festivities. Perched above the cityscape, it offers a unique vantage point on Española Way—Miami Beach’s first commercial development in the 1920s, originally built as an artists’ colony.

Listed’s philosophy underpins the community-driven vibe. “We strive to make the partygoer as important as the headliner because we think the experience matters,” says Listed founder Gunita Nagpaul. “We add personal touches to foster ‘ridiculous fun for ridiculous people,’ creating a communal atmosphere that’s long been forgotten in the dance music scene.”

This free rooftop showcase invites music lovers to immerse themselves in a timeless party feel, bringing Miami Music Week to life with a nod to the past and a look toward the future. Further details and set times are expected soon.

Don’t be left out and RSVP  here before tickets expire.

The rising producer returns with a new inmmersive two-track EP.

Thaddeus X returns to Last Cat On Earth with ‘Apnea/Seabed’, a two-track release that showcases his technical precision and evolving sonic identity. Following a series of personal edit remixes, the Dominican-based artist now steers into uncharted waters, offering a hypnotic and immersive experience.

The EP’s opening track, ‘Apnea’, defies its namesake, presenting a pulsating soundscape illuminated by neon-lit chord progressions and a throbbing bassline. Wailing synths, ethereal vocals, and shifting textures coalesce, creating an intense, fluid progression that builds toward an energetic peak.

On the B-side, ‘Seabed’ delivers a lush underwater journey, where deep bass grooves and iridescent synth stabs guide the listener through a dreamy, ever-evolving environment. Cascading arpeggios and sweeping pads elevate the track, crafting a rich and expansive atmosphere.

With ‘Apnea/Seabed’, Thaddeus X refines his unique approach, merging textural depth and fluid motion for a distinct auditory experience.

Designer Yu Ando has taken inspiration from the legendary Technics SL-1200 turntable to create the Vinyl Record Automatic Watch, offered under the brand AndoAndoAndo. The item’s face includes a miniature vinyl record, tone arm, and rotating discs representing the hour, minute, and seconds.

This ultra-thin Miyota 9039-powered timepiece provides a 42-hour reserve between windings. True to the turntable’s style, no number labels appear on the face. Instead, a dotted ring around the platter shows the current time, while the smaller disc tracks seconds.

AndoAndoAndo is making three versions of the watch available for preorder, with shipping expected as early as April 2025. The first two models, featuring a blend of red, black, silver, or gold details, are priced at US$ 438. A limited edition gold variant, restricted to 30 units, is already sold out.
