From Bari, Italy, rising techno artist Andrew Mills shares a story rooted in discipline, passion, and cultural identity. Beginning his journey at nine years old and learning to DJ on vinyl under the mentorship of Frankie Polaris, Andrew built his foundation through technique, repetition, and a deep respect for the craft. His artistic identity combines cinematic intensity, hypnotic rhythms, and emotional storytelling, reflecting both his Albanian and Italian heritage. As a producer, Andrew takes pride in crafting tracks that reflect a raw, powerful energy. His upcoming release Mescaline showcases his evolving sound and marks another milestone in his journey with Origami Management, who have helped guide his career and connect him with labels worldwide. With more than a dozen releases spanning techno mainstage, raw, and hypnotic styles, he views each production as a chapter of his personal and artistic transformation. Onstage, Andrew becomes a different version of himself. Reserved in daily life, he unlocks emotion through music, feeding off the crowd’s energy while delivering sets designed as immersive journeys. Memorable moments, such as playing an unreleased track for the first time at Ministry of Sound and watching the crowd erupt, fuel his dedication to long hours in the studio and international travel. Despite a demanding schedule, he remains grounded through family, cultural pride, and the desire to bring his sound to countries where techno is celebrated as a way of life. For Andrew, each trip is a mission: to grow, evolve, and share the story behind every beat.

My music blends powerful rhythms, immersive atmospheres, and relentless energy, and over the years I’ve developed a style that is unmistakably mine. I’ve released tracks on top labels like PYRO Records, Gold Lizard Records, Clipper Records, Yeiskomp Records, and Café de Anatolia. Key tracks such as Overdrive, Sonic Community, Break The Silence, and Power of Love have gained thousands of Spotify streams and received support from international DJs, radio shows, and major festival playlists, including Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and Blasterjaxx’s Maximize. I recently signed my first record deal with a US label, which means my music will now reach audiences all over the world. My latest release, SPACE, coming out on November 26th, is a real bomb—it will give everyone a true sense of who Andrew Mills is as an artist. This year at ADE Amsterdam was incredible. I had a huge boost in visibility, performing multiple times and getting the chance to really showcase my skills thanks to Leandro’s support. It was an unforgettable milestone in my career. I’ve also collaborated with Andrea Casta, Café de Anatolia, and Marquee, which has helped me grow my international network. My career is very active right now, with new releases scheduled for the end of this month and mid-next month, showing my commitment to pushing techno forward. Driven by “positive rage” and relentless determination, I’m not just a DJ or producer—I’m an artist dedicated to creating unforgettable, high-energy experiences that connect with audiences around the world. https://linktr.ee/andre
