Long before girls brought back off the shoulder t-shirts and neon color palettes, and just a few years before Frenchmen, Daft Punk and Justice, popularized the electro scene, there was one slightly overlooked Scottsman named Myles Mac Innes, otherwise known as Mylo.

The song “Destroy Rock & Roll,” released in 2004 (here playing on MTV’s 120 Minutes for chrissakes!!!), provides all of the elements of this newly popular genre such as the relentless chunky electro rhythm, upbeat percussion fills, and just a touch of social commentary.

I was fortunate to have his debut, “Destroy Rock & Roll” with its distinctive pink fluorescent color and block lettering- again, foretelling a t-shirt trend by like 5 years- but the thing is, and for anyone who listened or owned this album, Mylo was simply too good of a musician to be satisfied with one sound.

After laying down the blueprint for electro, he quickly tackled other sounds like disco groove, synth-pop, straight up house, and downtempo beats. In other recordings, some say he could teach Royksopp a thing or two.

When he’s not DJing, he’s known as an accomplished producer remixing everything from The Killers, Scissor Sisters, and even Elton John is an avowed fan. At some concerts, he has been known to play keyboards and guitar, though this probably won’t be the case at Fuji Rock as he’s billed as a “DJ set.”
