Thrilled to share the latest chapter of my Chasing Harmonics mix series, just in time for summer.

This set starts off calm and reflective, slowly builds into more driving techno territory, and then gradually eases back into a smoother, atmospheric flow toward the end. It blends melodic elements, deep grooves, and emotional layers throughout, aiming for a dynamic and coherent journey.

The tracklist features music by @dominik-eulberg, @sieren, @sema_povar,  @trancewax, @youandme-martin, @fortromeau, @microtrauma, @realfkamash, and more.

Whether you’re at home, on the move, or enjoying the summer outdoors, I hope this mix resonates with you.

Thanks for listening and enjoy the ride. 🎹 🎶 🏝️
x Michael ❤️

Even as a 12-year-old, I was deeply fascinated by electronic music. At first, I secretly experimented with my older brother’s (one part of @microtrauma) DJ setup, completely captivated by the beats and melodies. When I finally confessed my passion, he didn’t mind—instead, he introduced me to the art of DJing, showed me how to use the mixer, and shared essential tricks. That moment sparked a lifelong love for mixing music.

Over the years, I’ve refined my style, focusing on deep, flowing transitions and storytelling through sound. For me, DJing is more than just blending tracks—it’s about creating a journey, building an atmosphere, and evoking emotions through carefully curated sets. My passion lies in Deep and Progressive House, as these genres allow me to craft immersive and hypnotic experiences. I love creating long, seamless transitions that let the energy evolve naturally, keeping the flow alive.

While Deep and Progressive House are at the core of my sets, I also enjoy blending in elements from other styles, adding unexpected twists and fresh dynamics to the journey. On Twitch, I share this passion with a wider audience, exploring the depths of electronic music and creating unique, engaging musical experiences.

In 1995 simple tracker software got the interest of the two friends Daniel and Ricardo. Thus, they decided to produce a few tracks.
Both shared a common passion for all sorts of different musical styles, which made their early productions very diverse.
Through the many influences of artists from New Order and Depeche Mode to Massive Attack, The Prodigy, Moby and the various techno disciples
of this multi-faceted time, the two of them produced everything they enjoy, be it trip hop, electronica, breaks or techno.

However, in 1999 the two of them went separate ways for reasons of diverging careers.
They quickly lost touch to each other until the contact ceased completely. Yet, the two of them still wished to produce music.
This is why both of them kept working with synthesizers, music software and studio technology creating their own tracks.

In 2003, it was coincidence that brought them back together.
The two friends met again at a small local electro party and soon realised that they still shared the same interest for electronic music as they had four years earlier.
After a few sessions in their domestic living room studios they decided to make more of their hobby and, thus, started renting their first studio in 2005.
Microtrauma was born.

In 2007, Microtrauma had its first release “Wake up“ on the Elected Tunes label. Their first own release “Collar EP” soon was to follow.
Microtrauma has developed its own style from almost ten years of working and tinkering as well as its many influences: melodic, dark, technoid and minimal.
