Keeps Miles Miles? - Miles Davis Remixed
About Steamin' Horn and Evil Corner
Editorial office: Markus Heuger

On the occasion of Miles' 80th Birthday the two Electronic musicians "Steamin Horn" and "Evil Corner" dive deep into Miles Davis Jazzrock-Era. The music will be filtered, fragmented, de-contextualed and new arranged.

While this 6-hours special broadcast we will hear many Miles Davis records, from "Miles Ahead" in 1957 to "Doo-Bop" in 1991, a few month before his dead. Interviews with Ian Carr, Enrico Merlin, Michael Gibbs, David Toop, Gerald Early.
Highlight is the poll "My favourite Miles". The Listeners can vote at the Internet their best album of Miles.
