No-one, it seems, is quite sure how it happened, but an Oxford philosophy graduate from the Isle of Skye has become the saviour of dance music by

releasing an album so ubiquitous that nearly every twenty and thirty-something in the country owns it.

His success seems a bit mysterious to the man himself. Not so long ago, Myles MacInnes was studying for a PhD in California.

"Suddenly I started going crazy," he says. "I was not doing what I wanted to do. I always loved music but I never really took it seriously until just over three years ago. I decided I really wanted to get on with it."

So he dropped out of university and returned to Britain to make music under the abbreviated name of Mylo.

Despite the fact that "friends and family were like, 'oh God, what's he doing?'", young Myles did pretty well for himself, releasing a double A-side Destroy Rock 'n' Roll / Sunworshipper to great acclaim in April 2003.

The stir created by the record guaranteed plenty of interest in the album, released the following May. Mylo gave it the same headline-grabbing title as the single, which some saw as a rallying cry against the oft-heralded death of dance music.

Mylo himself, however, maintains that the title Destroy Rock 'n' Roll was "just a bit of daft controversy-baiting".

"It's sad if people think I'm trying to set up some kind of totally bogus battle between dance music and rock. That would be stupid."

In fact, the image of a dancecrazed lunatic hell-bent on destroying rock could not be further from the truth. Mylo is not a man who has much time for musical boundaries.

"The people in dance music that I like and the ones I respect are always the ones who come from a rock background," he says.

"I love classic rock. I love synth-pop. I love obscure European dance stuff. Yeah, I love everything."

"To me a good record is a good record and that's that."

This eclecticism comes through in his music, a gloriously wide-ranging mix of punky electro, house, funk and more mellow electronica.

For all its cool factor, there's a hefty dose of straight-ahead pop in there too - yet even Mylo was surprised to hear that among the more public admirers of Destroy Rock 'n' Roll was tantrum-throwing MOR balladeer Sir Elton John. The camp composer of Candle In The Wind announced at a recent award ceremony that "every home in Britain needs a copy of the Mylo album".

So whatever your personal musical reference points - from Daft Punk and Royksopp to Air and, er, Sir Elton - there's something for you in the music of Mylo. Which is why this live appearance, complete with full live band, sold out in about two seconds.
