BIO from www.undergroundhouse.net ::
Miles MaedaMiles Maeda was one of the pioneering members of Chicago‘s

club and rave scene in the early 90’s. Originally hailing from Hawaii,

Miles‘ influence in the Midwest was unique and made longlasting

impressions. His classical background and training inspired him to

experiment with many different styles and genres which shone forth in

his prolific studio productions and live performances, enriching Chicago

for many years.

With his partners DJ Colette and Josh Werner (Antenna), he co-founded

the 'Material' night at Shelter, a weekly event supporting and featuring

new house music from '94-'96. It provided a home for artists like

Derrick Carter, Mark Farina, Sneak, Diz, Cajmere, Moodymann, Herbert and

many others.

He also develop an ambient/downtempo night, 'Atmospheric Audio Chair',

along with Josh and Ken Waagner (Hit It) from '93-'95 which became a

favorite haunt of one Mixmaster Morris.

And his current residency at the Smartbar, celebrating 8 years

(1998-2006), has also been an anchor in the new house music scene along

with nights featuring Smartbar co-residents DJ Heather, DJ Colette,

Kaskade and Justin Long (No Assembly Firm).

Miles' creative projects continued to blossom after his relocation to

California where he created such works as 'Things Are Things' EP

(Aroma), 'Tell Me Why' EP (Lowdown), and 'The New House Sound of

Chicago' (Igloo/Smartbar/Shure). His current projects include the 'Three

Easy Pieces‘ EP (Dae), 'I’ts My World‘ EP (Bump) and 'I’ll Be A Freak

For You' remix for Swirl People (Aroma).

Alongside his creative music lifestyle, Miles is also a certified yoga

teacher (World Evolution Yoga), traveling the world (Traveling Love

Show) to share these tools of transformation alongside his DJ shows. He

also runs a DJ/music production program (DJ Evolution) to assist those

wishing to cultivate a deeper creative connection to DJing and

electronic music production. Now residing in Los Angeles, Miles‘ current

endeavor is his new record label (Bopsa) which will feature releases by

Derrick Carter, Lawnchair Generals and Swirl People.
