Thirty-two-year-old DJ and producer Mija’s pink hair beams against the reflection of the sky in the glass door behind her. She is exceptionally laid back for someone in the midst of an intense creative and social renaissance that she’s calling her “hardgroove summer.”
Mija was so inspired that she started making plans to get to Europe to work with musicians who were making hardgroove music there. When Jay told her a few weeks later that he was going, she posted online looking for gigs in Europe and quickly put together a tour for herself. The parties, which were often attended by upwards of 3,000 people, were hugely successful but taxing to organize. When she lost money for the first time, at the age of 19, Mija decided to pivot and become a DJ. “From my roommates to my ex-boyfriend, every single person around me was a DJ. So I was like, ‘Well, fuck, if they can do it, I can do it.’” From there, Mija’s career really started to flourish.
