MIKE G - SHUT IT DOWN-FREE DOWNLOAD

Producer Michael Graham aka Mike G, born in 1981, fell in love with the sounds of instruments, composed together, into what we call music.  Born in the 80’s he discovered power chords in rock bands such as Poison, Motley Crue and Guns ‘n’ Roses. After moving to Tampa, FL at the age of 9 years old, he began to pick up on the clever styles and lyrics of hip hop and rap.  After hearing a mix tape by Funk Master Flex, Mike G picked up his first set of low budget decks. Moving forward into the late 90’s Mike began spinning Breaks. He fell in love with the styles of Rick West, Huda Hudia, DJ Fixx and others alike. Mike G began producing Breaks in the early 2000’s. After learning the ins and outs of music production, he began releasing his own music on record labels such as Ravesta Records, Kaleidoscope Music, Therabeat Records, MIXA Records, Funky Flavor Music, Brown Foxx Breaks, Gigabeat Records and ONE7AUDIO to name a few. Today you can find Mike G on Beatport, iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music and other streaming platforms.  He is currently releasing genres such as Breaks, Trap, Electro House and Future Bass.

I have from day one  “ in the beginning , when house was house “ been connected deeply to the sounds of EDM . My first introduction to this music was MARS “ Rabbit N The Moon . First time I ate a “bean” I was so scared about what was to come as I like to have control 😂😂 I left on my own over the cocoa bridge !  Amazing ! The one thing or rather sound I’ll never forget was the “beat(s) the newness of this spectacular new sound that made sense in my head . I could hear every beat , when the next mix met !  I got so obsessed with paying attention to when the next mix would come in , maybe I forgot how to connect because that was my focus  it drove me . And when I nailed it ( or at least I felt like I did 😂😂 in my own complicated mind) I moved on to the next mix to the next - mind you I still do this and always have pipe dreams of learning and being taught the schematics of mixing  but alas I bought the DJPioneer 2100  and I realized I might be missing a key element ,  fear  or thinking that my love for how I listen to it or go into my own space bubble would take the LOVE I have for this music and the feeling , love and joy would be gone .  I believe it is the latter ! I am no DJ - there’s more to it thank two  Amazon bought mixing board and a USB with 1700 tracks on it that makes a DJ . I have MAD respect for the ones that have that EAR that total BEAT in their hearts to share this music with us !! Thank you ❤️
