Every Saturday night, In the Mix sets the vibe as DJ Kenny Perez mixes up the hottest sounds from the electronic dance music scene, bringing to the forefront some of Milwaukee's most talented DJs and producers.
Makebo stepped in this past Saturday and brought a whole mood with him. From the jump, the vibe was locked in — one of those sets where you just let it ride and get lost in it.
Fresh off the release of new EP The Universe, Makebo continues to lean into the signature sound he’s built his name on. Think ambient textures, smooth basslines and that perfect balance between energy and restraint. It’s deep, it’s intentional, and it moves without ever forcing the moment.
If you’re tapped into the global scene, you already know Makebo isn’t new to this. A Beatport best-selling artist in 2022, he’s carved out a lane in organic, deep, progressive house. Beyond the decks, he’s also building the next wave. As the founder of Music Academy Experience, Makebo mentors emerging producers and shapes the future of the sound he’s helped define.
With releases across All Day I Dream, Anjunadeep, Lost Miracle and Shanti Radio, his reach is global. But what Makebo brought to In The Mix felt intentional, grounded and right on time for our dedicated fans.
