Mr Milano thanks his DJ name to the period where he lived in the roaring city of Milan. The city where, around 2004, he rediscovered his love for electronic music while visiting the beautiful in and outdoor clubs of Milan.
He was always drawn to music and loves almost all genres from fusion-jazz to hard-rock. As a kid he learned to play bass guitar and drums and played in high school bands for a few years. After his period in Milan, he returned back home to Amsterdam and at that moment his DJ career really took off with the creation of 'The Incrowd concept' together with his best friend Paolo.
After the first Incrowd party in 2011, some 100 plus parties would follow and Mr Milano and Paolo became residents at famous Club NL and Club Panama in Amsterdam Netherlands.
Paolo
Starting his musical journey already in his younger years, Paolo always had a broad interest in music that’s “touching the heart”. From classical music to heavy metal howling guitars to energetic electronic music. Following his heart, it always has been goosebumps that were leading the way.
Growing up in the electronic music revolution it was inevitable to make his step into producing and DJ-ing. Influenced more and more by progressive and deep sounds, Paolo developed his own signature style.
With over 10 years of experience playing numerous gigs, he has shared stages with an impressive list of the absolute top artists in the scene. Going solo or along with best friend Mr Milano he’s to be found in the finest clubs or venues.
After focusing on playing for a long time, Paolo picked up studio production again. Recently he has released his a first series of new tracks on the major platforms. And there’s much more to expect in the near future.
Paolo & Mr Milano [ The Incrowd events / DJ duo ]
As mentioned in their personal biographies, both Paolo and Mr Milano have strong musical roots and experience playing in bands. That experience came in quite handy in their first steps into DJ-ing. Understanding the dynamics of a room and knowing how to build it up is a skill in itself that both of them surely have mastered.
Their background has led to founding “The Incrowd”. A dance event concept built on connecting people and meeting your new best friends. It was very successful from the start. There are not many organizers that can say they’ve sold out on their first night, selling almost 1000 tickets, with Paolo & Mr Milano as completely unknown artists in the line-up. And they’re still going strong, hosting these events regularly. Key to success? Personal attention and being humble and grateful. Simple as that.
When sharing the booth, Paolo and Mr Milano have been able to transform their own signature styles in a perfect blend of high energy.
