Biography>>
Michael
quotes his biggest influences as being Gary Numan, Depeche Mode, Visage, Human
League, Si Begg, DJ Funk and all Chicago Shit and early electro...
He started DJing in clubs in and around blackpool (his home town) in 1988
before moving to cardiff and playing out regularly around that area for the
next 4 years.
Michael moved back to Blackpool in 1995, bought a sampler, drum machine, a
couple of synths and got writing.
After
a chance meeting with Dean Thatcher and Richard Thair from The Aloof and Red
Snapper, they encouraged him to send them his tracks and they released two
singles for him on their Flaw label in 1995.
In
1996 Michael started his own record label with a mate called My Breathing (the
name taken from a favourite Gary Numan track)
and he released 5 records between 1996 and 1999 before starting the new
label, Chan`n`Mikes.
Michael
has also had releases on other UK and European labels such as Flaw, Red Seal,
Mental Industries, Penalty, Magic Trax, Core, Automatic and Noodles.
Since
1997 he has been DJing and playing live at venues in Germany, Belgium, Holland
and Switzerland. He still plays regularly in the UK.
Michael
plays live and also does a combination of live and djing.
“My
live set pretty much mirrors what i play when i dj , mixing up different
styles…..electro/techno and chicago booty trax.”
