Get Milked: DJ Perception

Soulful 2-step, swinging 4x4 rhythms and rare UK garage dubplates drive an overnight set by London selector and producer DJ Perception. The party runs Saturday, August 8 from 11 p.m. to 8 a.m. at Paraíso Estéreo, launching the Get Milked Summer U.S. Tour and marking Perception’s billed U.S. debut. Sarah Tonin, Marble and Desires team up with Un_Mute to present the Fresh Milk Records party series in Miami.

Known for deep, rolling basslines and a refined approach to underground house and garage, Perception draws from exclusive dubplates, overlooked records and soulful club cuts. His sets have been featured by Boiler Room, Resident Advisor, Dimensions Festival and Rinse FM, where The MoodSwing Show explores rare underground house and garage. His productions have appeared on Fresh Milk Records, Dr Banana, Rhythm & Vibe and Timehri, as well as his own Moodswing imprint.

The supporting lineup features Los Angeles DJ Highkin, Miami selectors Dylan Schwartz and Jacob Friedland and Atlanta duo Akarsh & Bozzy. The program connects regional underground scenes through a night centered on UK garage’s soulful swing and low-end pulse.
