PATTA X MILA V

Creative Direction: Mila V Directed: Sara Elzinga & Mila V Edit by Sara Elzinga Styling by Mulas Hybrid Haus MUA & Hair: Iraj Raghosing & Jazz Ben Khalifa Title Effects: Roxi Basa Multi-disciplinary artist Mila V has been a key figure in the Patta family over the last few years and we are proud to present our latest collaboration with the rising star. Now as our final Patta Soundsystem project of 2022, it seems fitting to close up a year of family-orientated collaborations with someone who has grown up with us. Initially taking on audio-visual projects for Patta such as the #SSS Winter Video as well as taking creative control of various editorials, Mila V’s unique vision has kept her at the forefront of many forms of expression that we champion here at Patta. Patta Soundsystem and Mila V present the brand new record ‘CRACKS’, an EP that showcases Mila’s passion for producing electronic music. The feel for the sound and lyrics for ‘CRACKS’ originates from the concept of repression; Mila V feels that she had to suppress herself in the creative industry and in her relationships to not intimidate her partners. The development of ‘CRACKS’ almost served as a form of therapy for Mila V with it being a result of expressing intuitively, feeling and processing everything in real-time without having a premeditated purpose. The process-centric expression results in multiple one-take vocals that respond emotionally to the underlying instrumental sounds and a sequence of five songs tha
