Mile End in 2010 released the next installment in Chez Nous series- releasing Chez Nous 2 mixed and compiled by Vivie- Ann.
The name is inspired by the Montreal neighborhood called Mile End which since the 1980s has been an artistic center and home to many artists, musicians, writers and filmmakers as well as a culturally diverse area. Patrick Dream was living there at the time when the label was founded and it came to symbolize a creative, musical and stylistic diversity and that would be reflected in the releases and albums of the label.
Mile End has since released music of other genres such as soul and funk but under the MIXART Production brand to distinguish any release that is not classified as electronic such as tracks by French soul singer Rachelle Jeanty.
