After spending most of the past year deep in the studio, Milio returns to VIAVIA with Vocoder Boi EP. This genre-blurring three-track release showcases his wide sonic palette and passion for hands-on sound design. Produced entirely in his trusted home base, the EP captures the spirit of pure experimentation and creative freedom.
The title track, Vocoder Boi, draws inspiration from dubstep and is driven by raw textures crafted using a real vocoder, not for vocals, but as a sound design tool to shape its gritty, futuristic edge. Close to You dives into deep dub techno territory, built around percussive rhythms and an ethereal sampled vocal. Finally, Rotations closes the EP on a high note with a warm, deep house groove, melodic, uplifting, and unmistakably Milio.
With Vocoder Boi EP, Milio embraces experimentation and diversity, delivering a record that feels both personal and adventurous, while remaining grounded in his distinct sonic identity.
