Disco house producer MIRAMAR closes his edits trilogy with The Edits Vol 3, but the story does not begin with the music release itself. It begins with connection. During this year’s Burning Man, MIRAMAR played a set at the Purple Party that shifted how he measured success. “I had so many people come up after my set,” he recalls. “They told me how connected they were through my set and from my own tracks.”
That response still lingers. In an interview with EDMNOMAD‘s Angelo De Guzman, MIRAMAR describes it as the greatest compliment he could receive. “It’s easy to make people dance to other people’s music,” he explains. “But when there’s a visceral connection it is truly harmonious.” Asked to define this phase of his career, he answers simply. “The Early Hours.” That phrase frames everything that follows.
Connection Before Concept
MIRAMAR’s relationship with music formed far from mainstream pipelines. “My introduction to music was really underground,” he says. He continues searching for sound outside obvious channels. “There’s so much talent that doesn’t get the spotlight.” That instinct remains unchanged. “There will forever be better music hiding in the shadows in my opinion.”
Those values shape how he approaches dance music today. MIRAMAR prioritizes emotional honesty over trends and recognition over reach. That mindset carries into how he treats edits. “Truthfully they are legendary hits on their own,” he says of the tracks he reworks. His focus stays measured. “I’m mainly trying not to change them so much that they lose their vibe.”
Melody remains sacred. “It’s the melodies of those songs that people connect to when listening at home or dancing live,” MIRAMAR explains. The goal never shifts. “It’s all about moving the people.”
MIRAMAR on Why 2000s Music Became the Anchor
The Edits Vol. 3 draws directly from the era when MIRAMAR’s relationship with electronic music deepened. “This was the era I really started diving into electronic dance music,” he explains. He describes the 2000s as a rare convergence point. “You had all of these groundbreaking trends colliding at once. New music and production technology. A global club culture emerging. Nightlife booming.”
That momentum reshaped club music itself. “Club sound was just starting to take off,” he adds. His production instincts trace back to that moment. “As far as my influences go when producing, this was the peak era of French Touch and Indie House’s emergence.”
Discovery felt different then. “People were discovering producers via them playing live and not just algorithms,” MIRAMAR says. That lived experience continues guiding how he frames nostalgia, treating it as foundation rather than revival.
The Edits Vol. 3 as Dancefloor Proof
Each track on The Edits Vol. 3 earned its place through performance. “Each one has gone off on my summer tour,” MIRAMAR reflects on his music. “I can’t wait to share them with everyone.”
His edit of Eric Prydz’s Call On Me heightens energy while preserving its instantly recognizable groove. Daft Punk’s Get Lucky leans deeper into funk and bass while maintaining its French house spirit. Goldfish’s Soundtracks and Comebacks shifts from jazzy origins into a peak-hour weapon built on bounce and shimmer. Gossip’s Heavy Cross transforms into a rolling disco-house cut driven by pulse and repetition.
Together, the edits showcase MIRAMAR’s range without sacrificing emotional familiarity. Each record functions as memory translated for modern rooms.
Music, Infrastructure, Balance, and What Comes Next for MIRAMAR
MIRAMAR’s recent EP with Sweat It Out marked another turning point. He speaks about the relationship with clarity. “The entire team at Sweat It Out are a dream to work with,” he says. “They’re all class from the A&R to the label heads.”
He points to their position within the industry. “They maintain such a strong presence and lead the pack with curating styles of dance record releases.” What stands out most is balance. “You see them working with legendary artists on one hand and developing new talent on the other.” Plans already extend forward. “On 2026, we’re planning out a second EP,” he confirms. “Stay tuned.”
Outside the booth, MIRAMAR draws rhythm and music inspiration from movement and environment. “I grew up adjacent to the Santa Cruz mountains,” he recalls. “My idea of fun was running through the hills with friends.” He describes discovering fishing holes, building dirt jumps, riding BMX through creeks, and exploring redwoods.
That curiosity continues on tour. “These days while I’m on the road it’s about discovering new surf breaks,” he says. “Riding new mountains and chipping away at my never ending list of restaurants.” Food remains central. “My family is in the agriculture industry so food has forever been a major part of my world.”
For MIRAMAR, balance fuels longevity. Health, movement, and stillness matter as much as momentum. The Early Hours define a chapter built on connection, restraint, and trust earned one room at a time.
