Phonica Mix Series 141: Chez de Milo

Stepping up for his Phonica mix, Chez De Milo delivers a raw, one-take session that captures the ruff-and-ready energy he’s been channeling on dance floors across the UK and beyond. A mainstay of Fabric, The Cause, Love International, and a host of revered underground spaces from London to Bristol, Chez has steadily built a reputation as a DJ’s DJ—equally at home soundtracking late-night basements as he is sun-drenched Adriatic terraces. A longtime affiliate of scene-shaping figures such as Andrew Weatherall—who personally invited him to play New Year’s Eve 2019 in London in a career-defining moment—Chez’s sound draws on deep, psychedelic currents and leftfield club pressure in equal measure. His new label, Club Blanco, signals the next chapter: a platform for forward-thinking club music, including forthcoming heat from A.Wild, while further cementing his place within a lineage of selectors who prize individuality and depth. Recorded club-style in a single take, the Phonica mix reflects the records he’s been hammering lately—many sourced from Phonica’s own racks—stitched together with the instinctive, chaotic precision that has defined his approach for over 15 years behind the decks.
