He has been a longtime active participant, both as a dj & promoter, in Ottawa's rave & underground community. During his years of dj'ying and promoting in the 613, he always tried to provide opportunities for new local talent to be heard and appreciated. He first appeared in the scene in 1990, where he held a residency in the region's first "house music" oriented club, CHEZ HENRI, on the Hull (Québec, Canada) bar strip. In 1996, Mike turned his interest to radio. He created and hosted several radio shows on CHUO-FM, 89.1 (UNDERGROUND FM, HOUSEFUL FRIDAYS, SONAR) to name a few. In 1999 came the residency at ILLUSIONS (Ottawa, Canada) afterhours. In 2000, Mike also teamed up with SERGE and KID SL as part of FULL FORCE productions and headlined at all their major events (RADIOHYPE, THRILLER)... Around the same time, he began hosting a night at THE WELL (Ottawa, Canada). People from the industry came to call it their home on Sundays.The focus of this night was to help new, fresh talent get a chance to be recognized. Mike was also instrumental in creating a monthly fundraiser named XVI SUNDAYS at THE WELL. In 2000, Mike was chosen to represent Ottawa at ARRIVAL (Montreal, Canada). That same year, he opened for Commander Tom at PARADISE (Montreal). That is where he met a dj that would become a close friend... (dj A.R.D) who hapened to be responsible for a key afterhours in Québec City and owner of APOCALYPTICS productions. As a result of this meeting of the minds, Mike became a resident at CUBE afterhours in Québec and also played most of the major raves held in that city (TAKE OFF, VERSUS) to name a few. In 2002 Mike joined forces with DAYLIGHT afterhours in Otttawa and managed with good promoting skills and local friend djs to keep a small afterhours club afloat and relevant for a period of 2 years. In 2002, Mike's perseverance and talent finally brought him to SONA (Montreal) where he headlined with Lafleche. In 2003, he began the year with a headlining slot at Ray Junior's APOCALYPSE (Montreal) where he opened for PUSH. 2004/2005... Mike opened for Preach @ the mega-rave Peace held in the Gatineau hills. After which, he took some time away from the scene, a much needed break after many yrs of devotion to the cause. 2005/2006...Before moving to Montreal Mike created a new type of event in Ottawa, a daytime afterhours named "Sundaze". A renewed effort to give local djs a chance to be heard and appreciated. The event which celebrated it's 1 year anniversary lately still occurs weekly |
