Born in Detroit, Milan Ariel has music in her blood: Her father is Detroit techno icon Juan Atkins, and she grew up immersed in techno, electro and funk. She also soaked up pop, hip-hop and soul, blending these influences into her own sound. Her first EP, *Love Dreams*, features a mix of R&B and electronic tunes. She is equally at home dropping songs at the Hip Hop Shop, where she had a Saturday night residency, as she is performing for hordes of techno heads at Detroit's legendary Movement festival.
