A still record of light.
A good room
has its own rhythm.
The first arrival, a full dining room, the last round. The music can move through each part of the night without asking every guest to dance.
Start with the room: who comes in, how long they stay, what they should feel and where conversation needs to sit. Then choose the records and the format.
Before the first record
- Musical direction
- Open format across genres and decades, with reference sets and a do-not-play list agreed in advance.
- Volume and timing
- Arrival, dinner and later hours planned with your team. A clear contact for adjustments during the set.
- The booth
- Confirm the house system, available decks, space, load-in and soundcheck before choosing a vinyl, digital or hybrid setup.
Played in rooms built for listening.
Miles’s work includes the Delta One Lounge at LAX and a company reception on the GRAMMY Museum’s Ray Charles Terrace. Two different settings, with the same attention to the room.
- Delta One Lounge, LAXA residency where the music supports the lounge experience.
- GRAMMY Museum, Ray Charles TerraceA rooftop reception with the live set kept at conversation level.
One date, or a reason to come back.
For a first night, agree on the brief and let the room tell us what works. For recurring dates, start with a small run and review it together: guest response, musical direction, timing and what the team wants to hear next.
Dates, fee and scope are confirmed for each booking. Have an agency or existing booker involved? Keep them in the conversation.
