Rising underground DJ Mia Lily has unveiled her debut EP Hydrated But Drunk, which drops tomorrow, Friday 17th October, via revered record label Shall Not Fade. 

Raised in the North but now based in London, Mia Lily has garnered attention and acclaim both for her abilities as a musician and a selector, having already rattled off sets at Boomtown, Parklife and Outlook Festivals. The five track EP will fuse breakbeat, garage, trance, and dubstep with the jazz influences gleaned from Lily’s childhood growing up with her jazz musician father. Lily described the EP as "a mix of everything I grew up around classical, electronic and jazz. It was a cathartic process and I wanted to lean into bridging those worlds so that every track felt different.”

Hydrated But Drunk arrives as the latest event in what has been a stacked year for the classically trained DJ, as 2025 has seen Lily perform at the Lab54 House Party series in Bristol, whilst opening for the likes of DJ Heartstring, George Fitzgerald, and SWIM. Get your speakers ready for when the new EP arrives tomorrow.
