DiY - Digs & Woosh July 1994

Mikey DJ, formerly known as Mike D'vinyl, embarked on his remarkable musical journey in 1989, marking the beginning of a lifelong passion for the art of DJing. His story is a testament to the evolution of music technology, the relentless pursuit of musical excellence, and the enduring love for house and garage music. 

Born and raised in the vibrant musical landscape of East London, Mikey DJ's early days were shaped by the vinyl culture that dominated the scene. With unwavering dedication, he honed his skills on Soundlab Belt drive Turntables before making the momentous switch to the legendary Technics 1210s. His vinyl collection, amassed over decades, serves as a treasure trove of US House & Garage, UK jungle, and Drum & Bass, reflecting the rich tapestry of electronic music. 

Mikey DJ's musical selection is a fusion of Deep Underground House and UK US Garage, distinguished by its deep and bumpy groove, complemented by soulful vocal elements. Each of his sets is a transcendent journey, designed to awaken the senses and ignite a fiery passion for the beat in his audience.

Don't be a Fish out of Water (1992)

I had intended to keep these recodings to myself, But thats just selfish and I cant do it. Heart on my sleeve now, But for me, DiY were always at their best on their second or third night in. this recording lives up to the spirit of this and is just incredible. 6 hours and still going strong. what more can yo ask for. Keep it real, Keep it DiY.

Hector's gardens 2020

All these tunes were released on the DIY Communications or Strictly4Groovers label in the 90's, still sounding so good. All mixed on 12" vinyl using 1210's. I tried to make this as close as I could, to being how I remember it to be at one of the many DIY events I attended 25 years or so ago. I hope you enjoy this one....
