Dear Daisy’ sooths with a delicate mix of melody-infused tech-house and sensual, electro-tingled prog

Michael de Kooker - Dear Daisy

Growling its way up to unravel a big-bass anthem with a hauntingly beautiful and eerie break, is 'My Little Music Box'. Don't let its name fool you, this is nothing less than big, peak-time stuff! Inspired by a real carillon à musique, Michael keeps the windup key in 'My Little Music Box' turning and turning, to break out into an absolute floor destroyer.

Michael de Kooker - My Little Music Box

"There ain't no cloud in the sky, no nothing. I see the birds, they fly...on
something." That's right! If you're ready for summer to kick in, it's time to turn
up volume and start dancing to Michael's remix of the sun-drenched 'Stare Into The
Sun' of UK band Graffiti 6!

Arguably the biggest summer-track of 2010, 'Stare Into The Sun' has all ingredients
to make you shake it down with nothing but feel-good vibes. Shortly after the
release of his 'My Little Music Box' E.P. on Pilot 6, Michael reveals his translation of this anthem. 

The result? 
Michael picked up that same
feel-good vibe and gave it a firm, piano-infused swirl, making 'Stare Into The Sun'
a cheerful, danceable mix of progressive-house. More than fit for shimmering hot
Ibiza nights and peak-time festival moments.

This one might as well be named ‘something else’, for the latest affair of Michael de Kooker and his all-time love for music truly is. ‘You’ follows a fast pace and lures its listeners into an addictive state of melodic bliss – kicked down by some no-nonsense, right-in-the-face kind of drum n bass. Blending the styles has ever been his mark, but with this original, Michael shows to excel both in and outside the boundaries of a single genre as well. Boom.

Sometimes it's fun to just take a break from the regular production work and make something completely different. This is an example of what I end up with when I just let the music flow :) Would be perfect for a film score.

Ever in search of the perfect style fusion, we find Dutchman Michael de Kooker mounting his way up in the world of electronic dance music. Erasing boundaries, touching edges and digging up unknown combo’s of whatever tickles his fancy, this young multi-talent leaves the road ahead empty for whatever good he finds on his way.

Early in life, Michael realized that the law of attraction was driving him into the core of music making. Listening to all kinds of music but discovering a strong appeal for the 4 to 4 beat that was played on the radio, made him determined to create his own anthems. Aged 12, he started mastering the keyboard, until he came across the endless possibilities of the personal computer. After several experiments, some leading nowhere, some providing him the basic skills every producer needs, he found out about the unlimited features of FL Studio, which he uses to date. And that’s exactly when things started rolling. Faster and faster.

Still perfecting his skills, it was around 2005 that the first few productions left his studio, played out by various DJ’s and appearing in radioshows and dj mixes on the net. It took Michael just 2 years to work towards his first release. Together with DJ Jerom, he was signed to Cloud 9 Music, that released their ‘Body Combat’ collab. Getting into the right flow, it didn’t take long before his first solo-release saw the light. ‘The Twist’, released the on Combined Forces label, got support by almost the entire trance elite, with Tiësto and Paul van Dyk to name but a few.  The real big breakthrough wasn’t until the summer of 2008 though. After creating a remix of Vincent de Moor’s classic ‘Sunflower’, Michael put his energetic touch on top of another one: ‘Veracocha – Carte Blanche’. The Michael de Kooker remix of this contagious trancer reached the Dutch Top 40, was chosen Dance Smash on Holland’s biggest radiostation, Radio 538, and destroyed dancefloors far across the border of his home country.  Ever since, Michael’s musical career has been on its way up. His discography includes the bold and tough ‘Glow’, tech-house flavoured ‘Whoohoo’, sun-drenched ‘Fundo Nua’ and remixes for names like Ruben de Ronde, Anthem, Dave Graham and many more. Whether as Michael de Kooker or one of his aliases, Mr. Monsieur or M.W.T., this guy has always been doing what he loves: keeping his ears focused on diversity.

Though his musical journey began in the emotional layers of trance music, Michael always kept his vision open to all sorts of styles. From trippin’ house, rousing techno and electro tingled break-beat to chilled out lounge, progressive feel-good and emotional trance melodies, this musical chameleon has colored his productions with all of them, and everything in between. Without ever losing his trademark sound, he indulges EDM-lovers with a full-colour palette of every shade dance music has to offer. Just wait for his canvasses of sounds to be revealed.
