TOTAL: 52:48 min
RELNOTES..:
Mike Monday has been involved in and around the dance music scene since '94,
when, after completing a music degree at Oxford University, he decided to move
to London and started writing with Andy Cocup (a.k.a. Big C and now Groove
Armada ).
Their first offering was Fatback Boogaloo 'Wide Open Spaces' on the now sadly
defunct Skinnymalinky imprint, one of the late '90's top progressive house
labels.
With the success of this single Mike and Andy teamed up with a few other like
minded bods to form Beat Foundation (Skinnymalinky / VC records), gaining praise
from all corners of the music industry with singles including the seminal 'Save
Me' and 'Foundations'. They also took their live show to all the major clubs in
the UK & Europe including Ministry of Sound, The End, Lakota and many more. With
The Beat Foundation Mike had a major hand in remixing Bizarre Inc, Art of Noise
and Delacy.
Always keen to write with new partners / artists Mike also recorded as Distant
Drum Simeon Friend, remixing tracks for East West, Positiva, and Perfecto
amongst others.
Since Distant Drum, Mike has produced consistently for Steelfish Records and his
own label MM records where his last single 'Love Paranoia' received multiple
plays from Pete Tong (Radio 1), Seb Fontaine, Jon Digweed, Boy George (Galaxy
Network) and other big jocks in the clubs.
In 2001 Mike signed to Whoop! Records and is now managed as an artist by
Whoop!'s sister company Mix Management. Apart from completing massive remixes of
Hard Attack's - 'Very Contemporary' and Motherlode's - 'Sin-nuh' for Whoop! His
first single 'Can You Play Bass?' was Essential New Tune / VIP tune in September
2001 with key DJ / radio support from Seb Fontaine off one acetate! Mike's
reputation has also grown in 2001 through his remixing for other labels, with
his style appealing to a wide variety of jocks. He has remixed for EMI, Hooj
Choons, Spot On, Mercury, Manifesto, SOG, Whoop!, Star 69, Additive and more.
This year Mike has also been working with DJ Gordon Kaye with their project
'Autokat', being signed by the highly respected Deep Dish Yoshitoshi label in
the USA. They have also completed a few remixes for Yoshitoshi too. Another
current collaboration is with Darren Emerson (ex-Underworld). He worked with
Darren on the massive Hatiras - Spaced Invader remix. Mike has also started
working with Andy Cocup (Groove Armada) on new material and has recently remixed
Schmoove as JJ Dancefiends on the DIY label.
DJing is another way that Mike can channel his great knowledge of music. In 2001
he has regularly played for Whoop It Up (Whoop!'s own club night ), Fabric, 333
and various other venues in and around the UK. Abroad he spun at this year's
Miami Winter Music Conference for the Whoop! party at Shadow Lounge. Mike also
holds a weekly residency at the Retox bar, London. For 2002 Mike has been taken
on by Represents for his DJing skills, ensuring a busy year on the world DJ
circuit.
