British producer october mills emerges from the mist with Transit, his debut EP out now on Enhanced Chill. The record packs a quietly stunning collection that blurs the line between solitude and momentum, signaling a refined new voice in the evolving landscape of modern electronica. Early singles like ‘Trace of You’ (feat. Josefina) and ‘Real Life’ (feat. Noah Jaems) hinted at mills’ signature touch: delicate, cinematic sound design with a pulse that feels almost human. His work has drawn comparisons to the likes of Fejká, Christian Löffler, and Blonde Maze, who, like mills, build worlds from air and emotion.
An architect of mood, october mills sculpts sound from the space between analog and digital. His music hums with organic warmth in with fingerpicked guitar strings, and rustling textures, then dissolves into crystalline synth lines and minimalist rhythm. Each piece feels more like a landscape than a song. His sensibility reflects both his rural English roots and his fascination with the geometry of sound; an artist equally attuned to nature’s imperfections and the precision of modern production.
Across Transit, mills invites listeners into a world of perpetual movement. Collaborations with Josefina, Ed Graves, Noah Jaems, and Matthew Adam Green add human depth to his intricate production. ‘Those Days Are Gone’ aches with absence, ‘Trace of You’ shimmers like twilight over water, and ‘Real Life’ captures the gentle ache of renewal. This is an EP of transitions between places, people, and states of being.
“‘Transit’ is about motion, in every sense,” divulges october mills. “Leaving places behind, finding new ones — and how sound can hold memory.”
