Biography of MLZ

MLZ (aka Miles Whittaker), is half of Pendle Coven from the label Modern Love. Coming from the Hills of Northern England, Pendle Coven is a collective project overseen by Gary Howell and Miles Whittaker. They were first brought together by the sounds of all forms of Electronic Music, especially Techno, Electro, Old Skool Hardcore and early UK Electronic producers like Aphex Twin and Autechre. They are dedicated to producing underground Electronic Music of all genres through experimentation and collaboration. The original building blocks were Miles' vinyl obsession and the musicianship of Gary. Pendle Coven have remained under the radar of mainstream electronic music by scattering their releases and having strict quality control exercised by Modern Love. Recently their music has taken a very Techno route, sitting alongside label mates Andy Stott and Claro Intelecto perfectly, and they have begun to take their Live sets through Europe as well as the UK. Pendle Coven are also known for Miles' legendary DJ set's, fusing all forms of dancefloor music together for the crowd's delight. They have played at Sonar twice, Berlin's Panorama Bar, Barcelona's Apollo Club, Zurich's Zukunft Club, Benicassim, and various underground festival's and parties.
