MILLI & BOB

Milli & Bob is a Quebec-based DJ-producer duo formed by Millimetrik and Bob Riddim. Together, they bring over 40 years of cumulative creative experience. Their new album, ‘Brésil’, is a tribute to the legendary Quebec singer Alys Robi. Using artificial intelligence, they extracted her voice from her 1940s tracks to integrate it into their modern productions, which draw alternately from electronic, disco, and dancehall influences...
