- The Detroit house staple will release his next album this month.
Deep house artist Alton Miller will release a new album called Light Years Away later this month.
In terms of sound as well as history, Miller is a direct product of Detroit's house scene in the '80s and '90s. Over the years he's put out nearly 40 records on some of house and techno's most respected labels, including Peacefrog, Transmat and Planet E, while collaborating with the likes of Chez Damier and George Baker along the way. Aside from iconic DJs like Ron Hardy and Frankie Knuckles, he cites Motown and Parliament Funkadelic as primary influences, and its these sounds that shine through on Light Years Away. The album is a deeply warm and soulful affair on which nearly every track features a guest vocalist, including an appearance from former Funkadelic member Amp Fiddler. It will see release via Mixed Signals Music, a Canadian label that pushes underground jazz, funk and disco.
