For this edition of the SFEER interview series, we sat down with Mia De Winter, known behind the decks as Miamor. a 21 year old DJ shaping her own lane in groove and UK inspired sounds. In a short time she has built serious momentum, staying true to her taste while steadily growing her audience. Here is her story in her own words.
When did electronic music really click for you, like “okay… this is my world”?
Music has always been part of my life. Growing up I listened a lot to 70s and 80s music, especially during car rides. Electronic music really entered my world through my brother. He played old house records and liquid drum and bass, and that had a big impact on me. From there I started exploring on my own. I went through different phases like lo fi house, house, disco house, hard house and trance. Over time it naturally evolved into groove and UK driven sounds. That is when it truly felt like my world.
Do you remember the moment your career started moving fast all of a sudden? What changed?
I had only been DJing for about a year when things suddenly accelerated. I started getting more bookings and about six months later I was picked up by an agency that really helped me grow. Through them I have played some amazing festivals in Belgium and even in the Netherlands. It all happened quite quickly, and I feel very grateful that after just two and a half years I am already at this stage.
What do you think made people connect with you so quickly?
I think it is because I have always stayed true to my own taste. I never chased trends just to grow faster. I played what I genuinely loved at that moment and I believe people could feel that. I want people to recognize my sound and come to see me because they know what I represent. That authenticity is important to me.
How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard you play before?
My sound is built around groove, but with strong 90s influences that give it swing and a raw edge. I can take it quite underground when the moment feels right. I also like bringing in UK elements such as breaks or dubstep to keep the energy dynamic. I love variety and tension in my sets. It should feel groovy, energetic and slightly unexpected.
Was your sound always clear to you, or did you have to find it over time?
In the beginning I thought I had already found my sound, which was mainly house. But over time my taste shifted a lot. Now I truly feel that groove and UK inspired sounds are where I belong. I also go to parties and festivals where this music is central, which keeps inspiring me. Finding your sound takes time, and I am still evolving, but I feel much more aligned with it now.
What is the feeling you want people to leave with after a Miamor set?
I want people to feel like they genuinely enjoyed themselves and maybe even discovered something new. If someone leaves thinking wow I did not expect that but I loved it, then I am happy. Ideally it feels like they stepped into another world for a while
How do you balance playing what you love versus what the crowd expects?
At more commercial events I might adjust slightly and keep it a bit less underground. But I always stay true to what I personally enjoy. If I fully believe in what I am playing, that energy translates to the crowd. I want people to understand what I stand for and what my sound represents.
What is your approach to reading a room, especially when you are playing bolder or faster tracks?
I am very focused when I play. I am not the biggest hype person, but I am definitely present behind the decks. When I go faster or more intense, I watch how the crowd reacts and adjust if needed. It is about feeling the room without forcing anything.
What is something people do not see behind the scenes?
There is a lot more work than people realize. Preparation takes hours and playing almost every weekend can really affect your sleep and routine. I still have to wake up early every Monday, so combining that with late nights is not always easy. It is fun and exciting, but it also takes discipline.
What is next for you, and what are you chasing in 2026?
I hope to play even more festivals and secure later time slots where I can fully express my sound. In 2026 I want to keep growing steadily, reach bigger stages and have more freedom in what I play. Most importantly, I want to stay true to myself while pushing my groove and UK direction further.
