Austin Millz, the Harlem-born DJ extraordinaire, is back with a new single featuring one of the biggest names currently in R&B: Sabrina Claudio. With Sabrina’s smooth-flowing vocals and Austin’s catchy, dance-worthy beats, “Inhale / Exhale” is the perfect track to pair with your parties this summer. It’s our first glimpse into the world of Austin Millz’ upcoming EP, Breathwork, reminiscent of euphoric moments with beats and sounds to match.
Austin says,
“Inhale / Exhale is a track that embodies emotion. Sabrina was the perfect co-star for this and the only person that I thought could bring this track to life and she did. It’s a feeling of dance floor euphoria while still bringing feelings through. It’s full of life, emotion, color and, energy while still maintaining that Harlem bounce that I capture in my music. I’m so excited for this to be my lead single to my upcoming EP, Breathwork.”
“Inhale / Exhale” is the lead into a very busy spring and summer for Austin Millz, who plans to release his EP alongside a North American tour titled, “The Breathwork Tour”, starting this April. This single featuring Sabrina Claudio – who’s previously collaborated with artists including Khalid, shows that Millz is able to create a smash hit while intermingling genres. It’s an exciting taste of what’s to come in the future.
Millz has remixed songs featuring Nina Simone and Mariah Carey, seamlessly blended sounds spanning across multiple genres, and he’s released remixes of Fred Again and Swedish House Mafia’s “Turn Off The Lights” or Chaka Khan’s “Ain’t Nobody.” With “Inhale / Exhale,” he is proving time and time again that the electronic music industry wouldn’t be the same without him.
