His remix of "Exceeder" with Umek reached #1 on the Beatport overall chart, while his remix of Prok & Fitch's "Simphony" also hit #1 on the Beatport House chart, further cementing his reputation for creating chart-dominating tracks.

Always pushing boundaries, Mike has collaborated with house legend Roger Sanchez to produce tracks that honor the genre's legacy while offering a fresh perspective on its future.
