You’re Under Arrest

A high-gloss, 1980s neon-noir fusion of jazz and pop. Miles trades modal space for digital synths, street-scene skits, and tight, drum-machine-driven grooves.

Pop-era deconstruction

Siren-wailing street noise cuts through slick synthesizer pads as a muted trumpet pierces the neon haze. You are dropped directly into a gritty, high-gloss eighties cop show where jazz plays by pop rules.

Playful+4.0σ

A mischievous, almost theatrical sense of playful subversion takes center stage as the trumpet darts through pop covers and street-smart skits, injecting a lighthearted grit that stands apart from the artist's typically brooding intensity.
