Micke's Bio:
Emerging in Washington, D.C. twenty years ago, in the prime of the rave era, Micke was a talented & bright, yet unknown artist in an overflowing sea of bedroom DJ's. In 1998, Micke co-founded Liquid Lounge (now known as Liquid Lounge SoundSystem), with good friend & long-time business partner, Erik Johnson, known as EJ. Together they formed a DJ collective & promotion group, which was led by Contrast, Micke & EJ's tag team name. As part of Contrast, Micke was regularly playing some of the most notable venues on the East Coast. 

Micke gained notoriety as a sound & lighting tech for Primacy, a major venue owner in DC — most notably at Club Five and Nation — Micke's hard work and dedication was recognized by Scott Henry, the founder of Buzz, who hired him onto his management team. Buzz was one of the most well known and influential weekly club events in rave history. 

Thanks to Buzz, Micke's talent was quickly noticed by some of the biggest names in Electronic Music including: Sasha, Hybrid, The Crystal Method, Tarantella & Redanka, Paul Oakenfold, BT, Judge Jules, Max Graham, Armin Van Helden, Dave Ralph, Deep Dish, PVD, Chris Fortier, Carl Cox, Scott Dixon, DJ Dan, Scott Henry, Charles Feelgood, DJ Keoki, and Donald Glaude to name a few.... and of course, Sandra Collins.

Micke earned a Buzzlife residency, putting him and his collective, Liquid Lounge, in regular main room rotation at Buzz. It was then that Sandra Collins noticed his skills, and requested Micke as her opening DJ whenever she played at Nation. 

On top of an active performance schedule, Micke was grinding for Deep Dish and their online label site, Yoshitoshi Records, as Customer Service Manager & Assistant Music Purchaser, under the direction of Alex Whalen, General Manager of Yoshitoshi Records (Store) and Yoshitoshi.com. In 2006, Micke took a hiatus from performing to focus on honing his production skills. 

Now, he's surging back, hitting the scene heavy with original tracks & collaborations with such artists as Sandra Collins, Scott Dixon (Voyager), & Andy Woldman. He has continued to evolve his 20 year music partnership with EJ, as Temporal Mental, in parallel to his solo career. Micke represents District Ignition, Buzzlife Productions and Liquid Lounge SoundSystem, which are stables from his Washington, D.C. roots.

In late 2017, Micke's collaboration with Sandra Collins began to shine. As of November 2018, Sandra & Micke have signed 9 original tracks along with 3 remixes across 4 different labels. These labels include: Perfecto Black, Pro B Tech Music, Stripped Digital, & Stripped Recordings. In support of these releases, the duo start a national tour beginning in Spring 2019.

“Transcending Space & Time, through the Singular Force of Music”

DJ and producer originally from Las Vegas now located in Colorado.

Deeply rooted in classic progressive, trance, and house music circuits since 1999. Can't stop won't stop.

Since the full relaunch of Dissident Music in 2018, Abstrakt.Digital has become one of the core artists on the label, releasing several originals and remixes, garnering the support of some of the world’s biggest DJs and invading the upper echelons of Beatport’s release charts as well. 

Abstrakt.Digital is the musical alias of Indro Sartorio, a life-long music maker now based in Kauai, HI and his hometown of Rome, Italy (via a couple of decades in Miami and Brooklyn). 

His track “Dakota” was signed to Dissident and released on a compilation called “Dissident Future”. A few months later a collaboration with label boss Noel Sanger resulted in a progressive house charts number one late that year with their collaborative remix of Joman’s “Ragnarok.” 

In 2019 His first full single release, “Vulcan,” hit number four on the same chart, with a Sasha-supported remix from Barry Jamieson (Evolution, Mono Electric Orchestra), and his collaborative remix of MASiiVO’s “Candelabra” peaked at number seven.

 Abstrakt.Digital’s debut album, “Karmageddon,” is titled as an appropriate description of this collective present moment in history, and it includes collaborations, remixes and several brand new, previously unreleased tunes. A prolific producer and dj, Abstrakt.Digital is a name to keep an eye on for anyone who enjoys melodic, analog drenched progressive house and techno!
