My name is Mickey, a.k.a Mickon-A. I'm from Israel.  In each set I try to draw a line from start to end, you might call it storytelling.. I usually play new tracks, few weeks old, and travel between Progressive Techno to Ethereal Techno. Always aiming for a good ride.. 😍

🙌🏻Fan of this song : pathetic DON'T CRY!..."the day I'm going to catch! you my little "sheep!... don't cry! we will take care of your case ... Soon!"WE WILL 4 SURE ....... POS🙌🏻✨

The most exciting rhythms seem unexpected and complex, the most beautiful melodies simple and inevitable.” ― W.H. Auden

Born and raised in Ghent Belgium.

I got hooked on Kick's & Hi-Hat's at the age of 13 during the early days of New Beat . At the age of 15 I started mixin house & Techno using casettes and vinyl.   

It wasn't untill I heard Sasha & John Digweed play that I made a switch to progressive,  ...ever since then I've been playing  a progressive style that has a punch combined with still melodic moments. 

That being said, , ...hope you enjoy the music
 .. big thanks for listening & dropping by..

Nils.
