Before he knew it, word spread through the neighbourhood and Fred was on his way to bringing house music to over 1000 people a night at parties that he promoted with a few of his friends. The success of these events led Fred to further explore his passion behind the turntables and his early career. He has been involved in the dance scene for nearly fifteen years. He started out in the industry by DJing at every major nightclub in Montreal including guest appearances and residencies at; Godskitchen Sundance Festival, Ibiza Festival, Parking, Level (After-hours), Circus (After-hours), Red-lite (After-hours), Rise (Boston) Stereo, Opium, Gravity (After-hours), Sky, Skyclub, BeachClub, and many more. His resounding music literally rounds up thousands of fans thirsty for Montreal’s vibrant nightlife and sound.
Fred Miller style is a touch of deep dirty sexy rhythm of house, a mix of Spanish, Portuguese sound. A big reason Miller’s fans are so devoted is his signature’s vibrant style. Miller’s beats are precise and his breaks clean. In addition to his technical mastery, Fred enjoys his music as much as his audience does. In the midst of a jam, Fred Miller joins the crowd, jumping up and down while waving his arms in the air. His facial expressions reflect the complete outpouring of emotion in his music.
Throughout his musical career Fred Miller has been influenced by DJs such as;
Frankie Knuckles, Danny Tenaglia, Victor Calderone, DJ Chus and many others as well.
“I’ve always listened to lots of other DJs and love nothing more than to be inspired. If it’s put together well then it’s more important than the style of the music they’re playing”. The way he anticipates and works with the crowd is well recognized when he plays. The bond between himself and the crowd is acknowledged by the energy given off as he maneuvers from one track to the next.
When a night’s good, there’s definitely that feeling of being connected to the crowd. You get this feeling that wherever you take them musically they’ll go with you and then as the DJ you respond to them. That’s the buzz.
“My style has always been to build my set in a curve leading to total mayhem at the end. If I’ve played in a club regularly I really feel a sense of trust that they know I’m going to start quite deep and then build and build. I guess I get a kick out of teasing a crowd and then hitting them over the head with a sledgehammer when the time is right! If there’s one club where I feel totally relaxed and the connection is complete, it’s been at Circus Afterhours this year.”
The best way to experience Fred is in person. A fan of music as well as an accomplished DJ, Fred Miller continues to provide the best evening around.
