about

The debut album from Mikos Da Gawd!

Miles Douglas, aka Mikos Da Gawd, is a producer, DJ and emcee with a sound as colorful and complex as San Francisco itself. Born in the Mission and raised in the Bayview district, he was shaped by the city’s winding streets and rolling fog; density and diversity; its contradictions and constant evolution.

As a kid, he discovered soul music, then underground hip-hop. (He credits an older brother with that first A Tribe Called Quest record: “My ears were never the same.”) In high school, he started making beats for friends like George Watsky and Adam Vida. After a few years of rapping and producing with the group 40Love, and a few more DJing under the mentorship of the Whooligan and the LA-based Soulection collective, Mikos found himself with a following of his own, a diverse roster of clients -- and a sizeable track record.

Since 2014, when Mikos made a beat for Anderson.Paak’s debut LP, Venice, and co-produced the Watsky single “Whoa Whoa Whoa” (altogether, his collaborations with his former classmate has over 20 million plays on Spotify), Mikos has become known as the go-to producer for folks who want something warm, funky, and maybe a little out-there in their party music. In other words: people who sound like the Bay. In 2016 alone, Mikos produced on nationally acclaimed records like Rayana Jay’s EP Sorry About Last Night; Elujay’s Jentrify; Caleborate’s 1993, Zion I’s The Labyrinth; Rexx Life Raj’s Father Figure and more.

Mikos Da Gawd’s album “Hell Yeah, Brother” is set for release on March 4th, 2019, is heavily influenced by A Tribe Called Quest and Kanye West, and features a few of his talented friends.
