Erin Millington writes love letters to the dance floor. Eloquent, soulful and simply unforgettable, her nuanced mixes have earned her a seat as house royalty in music capital Austin, Texas. Her authenticity is a warm, reassuring constant in the rapidly changing city, and it’s as Midwest as that of pinnacle influences Derrick Carter, DJ Heather, Colette, Diz, and Roy Davis, Jr. — all of whom she’s opened for as her dreams continue to take form. But her calling didn’t come in Chicago, or even in Texas. It came in her hometown of Minneapolis, in neon purple, at First Avenue — nightclub of legendary Prince.

But it’s Ms. Millington’s house-kissed letters of love that continue to take her to current Austin hot spots Ah Sing Den (for Secret Garden), Coconut Club + Neon Grotto, and the city’s biggest venue Concourse Project, where she opened for UK darling Sam Divine and the iconic Honey Dijon. The always-evolving Erin continues to artfully blend past with future to create presence for the floor, and 2022 marks her return to Concourse for electronic festival Seismic, along with a fresh string of DJ cameos lined up at chic listening room Dante’s Hi-Fi as part of Soho House Austin + Miami
