Together as
One in Dance

In this life and this society that we live in, it’s important to come together as one. We believe one way to unite people is through music and dance, so we have organized the Formal Dance Society. This entity is ever-changing and expanding, but the concept is simple: to get together, dance and listen to world class artists (DJs and Bands) in both public venues and private events. In order to accomplish this in Lexington, we have to organize and each do our part, formally, as one.

But who is Miles Maeda? 👇👇👇

Miles Maeda is a house DJ/producer based in California who has deep ties to Chicago where he established himself artistically during the early to mid-90s before moving to San Diego and beginning his studies in yoga. Born and raised in Hawaii, Maeda moved to the Midwest in the late 80s and attended music school at Indiana University in Bloomington. While there he worked at the university’s radio station and got deeply into the Chicago house and Detroit techno that were coming to light at the time. In pursuit of his musical interests, he relocated to Chicago where he lived until 1995. During this time he joined the ranks of DJs who helped shape the Chicago rave, club, and loft party scenes, notably co-founding the Material and Atmospheric Audio Chair club nights.

In 1995 Miles moved to San Diego where he began his yoga training while maintaining his ties to Chicago via a long-running residency at Smartbar that began in 1998. Meanwhile, he traveled internationally as a house DJ, and beginning in the late 90s began releasing production work on various labels like Robsoul, Aroma, Kolour, Bambino, and Bump to name a few. In 2010 Miles relocated to Tokyo, Japan where he established the monthly party Zen Daze, which provoked the prolific output of disco edits under the persona of Total M. Currently, Miles is back in San Diego working on his newest musical project AHzHA, creating an eclectic array of electronic music for his upcoming album.
