• Steve Miller (a.k.a. Afterlife and Suntwins) is one of the driving forces behind the chill out sound. He’s in a league of his own having spent many summers regularly playing as resident on Ibiza at such celebrated venues as Café Del Mar, Café Mambo and the roof terrace at Pacha. Steve has also worked alongside such downtempo luminaries as Jose Padilla, Chris Coco (Radio 1) and Lenny Ibizarre. •Steve met James Bright and they hooked up for the Lux project.Five years in the making Northern Lights is 11 laid-back ‘Ibizian’ (or just plain relaxed) afternoons rolled into one album. The more on the ball amongst you may have noticed that all tracks on the album are named after different types of cannabis… Take a look! Rumour has it that each track was written and recorded whilst sampling said ‘herbs’ and reflects the moods of the writers at the time so is also a true smokers delight. Tying all this together the album also includes poignant sleeve notes from Howard Marks (aka Mr Nice – the most celebrated purveyor of cannabis ever) and his musings on the effects the weed has on the way we listen to music. • Not just a concept album Northern Lights is a serious musical piece and takes in areas from downtempo, blissful, beat-less tracks to laid-back house and lazy drum & bass.
