Short biography of Miles Sagnia: British born and based DJ, Recording Artist and Label Head of [l=Atmospheric Existence Recordings].

Raised in the outskirts of London, absorbing classical training and theory while digesting everything he could get his hands on musically.

Then in 2000, won the UK Dance music magazine, ‘Mixmag’ DJ competition and took up dj residency @ The Boutique, in London (Turnmills) / Brighton (Concorde2).
