018. MIJA - going b2b with Skrillex at the greatest B&L party ever, Scottsdale sucks, and Amber is the color of your energy fr fr

We’ve got a stellar episode of All This Noise for you this week with our friend Mija, who has been adjacent to both Valerie and Chad’s musical careers in the LA scene for many years now. Mija started out in Arizona as a local DJ and curator of raves, which took her to festival afterparties and led to a chance b2b encounter with Skrillex at Bonnaroo. The rest, as they say, was history, as she joined the OWSLA crew and made a name for herself as one of the most unique producer / DJ’s during an era of peak creativity and coolness for music on the internet.

She sits down with the gang to discuss finally finding the courage to tell her life story on social media, the strength of collectivism vs individualism in dance music, having a hangoutable vibe, cutting your teeth in the local club / rave scene, how getting bumped off an art car at Bonnaroo changed her life, why Scottsdale is the worst, the story of when she brought Skrillex to the most legendary B&L party ever, being in her producer era and working on a new EP, tracking down lost producers on LinkedIn to clear samples, and giving no fucks when you’re your own label head.
