about
(Single Track Only)
“I have wanted to make some pure ambient music for a long time, but my usual schedule prevented that from happening. Lockdown created the space and time for me to fulfil that wish and it was such a defining and contemplative experience that it has now become a mainstay in my future work.”
When thinking Balearic, there is a name that should strike you right away - the man responsible for producing and curating some of the lushest sunset music Ibiza has ever heard, the legendary Steve Miller, perhaps most commonly known as ‘Afterlife’.
Making a name for himself in the early 2000’s by playing monumental events such as Glastonbury, headlining Cafe Del Mar’s 20th anniversary party and reaching the top of the UK charts, he has managed a consistency unlike many others in the two decades since.
We are thrilled to announce that he has chosen to release his Ambient Meditations EP with us on 23rd June and to share with you today the first single to be taken from it - The Lost Birds.
“The Lost Birds was inspired by a book of the same title about a spaceship captain protecting an orphan as he grew up and who was wanted by the totalitarian government because he could jump through hyperspace by using only his unique natural talent. The music conveys the feeling of the whole story”
