Biography of Adrián Mills

From Spain to Pforzheim, an identity at 240

Adrián Mills is a Spanish DJ and producer associated with the new European wave of hard techno, reinterpreted makina, and high-speed sound. Born in Spain and musically raised in Pforzheim, in the south of Germany, he moved his family life there in 2013, when he was fifteen years old. His bond with music began before rave culture: he studied violin since he was a child, by the age of eleven he was already DJing for his friends and started experimenting with FL Studio, an early foundation that explains the mix of melodic emotion, Latin energy, and track construction that defines his sound.

Makina, trance and rave without asking for permission

His style is fueled by makina, trance, early hardstyle, hardcore, acid and hard techno, with memorable vocals, fast rhythms, and an attitude marked by fun, nostalgia, and the cultural clash between Spain and Germany. Before reaching international projection, he moved through underground raves and German clubs, establishing himself as a resident of the Adrenaline Team environment in Cologne and Gotec Club in Karlsruhe. That experience allowed him to understand the dancefloor from within, alternating hardness, melody, and unpredictable moments without fitting entirely into a closed label.

240 KM/H and the Face 2 Face language

The center of his creative universe is 240 KM/H, a project that went from being an event to becoming a community, sound, and global platform. Within that ecosystem, he promoted the FACE 2 FACE format in a digital key, premiered on May 6, 2023 after tests at Gotec. The concept grew rapidly: he closed 2024 with dozens of events and in 2025 exceeded a hundred dates, collaborating with festivals and large-scale clubs. His recent presence includes performances at Monegros, Amnesia Ibiza during Mixmag Ibiza Sessions, HÖR Berlin, Fabrik Madrid, E1 London, Baum Festival and international showcases of 240 KM/H.

PROBANDO PROBANDO and the expansive present

In the studio, Adrián Mills has released music such as 240 kmh, GROOVEARCADE 2004, CALIENTE, CARIBE 2005, INTERGALÁCTICO EP, SOLO (Adrián Mills Remix), 240 INTRO, METAVERSO and 240 INTRO 2. In 2026 he released PROBANDO PROBANDO, a full-length album with tracks alongside Schrotthagen, mvrk, Pablo185, OGT, NERVO, Luciana, D.Palermo, DJ Cringey and TATITA, as well as an appearance as 2HIGH. His present places him as a key figure of the NeoMakina / 240 sound, with an aesthetic that connects rave, popular memory, acceleration, and international community.
