Milio Ruando (Plein Phare)

Milio Ruando is a key figure in Toulouse's buzzing techno scene, where his relentless dedication and bold genre-defying style have secured his reputation. Throughout the past twenty years, Milio created his path with an intense exploration of electronic music-from early experiments with hip-hop and rock to the peak-time techno that defines his sound today. He has done just that with a remarkable blend of trance and hard techno, including callbacks to rave classics that somehow weave together a narrative of hypnosis, that never fails at energizing crowds. From small, intimate club residencies to festival stages, Milio has also shared the stage with techno headliners like Space 92, Jeff Mills, Pan-Pot, Slam, Massano, Reinier Zonneveld, Sam Paganini, Kölsch and Floorplan. In 2024, he will be making his first apparition as a producer with the Ride With Me EP featuring a remix from famous producer Frankyeffe. This has been a turning point that catapults Milio beyond his DJ origins to place him on the international radar as a producer with a clear vision and uncompromising style. Besides the decks, Milio has gained prestige for his technical, unwavering connection with the dance floor, which he often holds hostage to the storytelling in his sets. Beginning to work his way into production, Milio Ruando brings his signature intensity and authenticity to a wider audience, led by a deep-rooted love for techno and a commitment to pushing the genre's boundaries.
