Oslated Mix Episode 165 - Mike Deem

Aarden Records
Menen
Belgium

In 2000, Mike Deem started as an administrator of the then partyforum ‘Partyguide.be’. He accumulated a huge collection of photographs and provided numerous interviews with renowned domestic and foreign artists. This took him to national and international events, to various stages and backstages, only to be immersed in the then Techno scene.

Through all the experiments with hardware and setup possibilities, Mike Deem is now ready to explore the world and to amaze with his deep, atmospheric, dark ambient and sometimes melancholic acid melody and bass lines which result in a somewhat hypnotic Techno. He is still looking to renew and likes to use new talented producers to color in his sets. With his current hybrid setup, which includes Traktor, a mixer, some hardware elements and live intermezzo's with his Tr-8, the boundary between art and pure entertainment becomes blurred . His mixing sessions give the listener some kind of psychedelic sense of ecstasy and satisfaction.
 
In other words, you can say that Mike Deem takes you on an intriguing mystical journey and immerses you, through various routes and dark places in a in a comfy setting, to safely take you along, with an off-beat motion to your destination.
 
In 2019 he started is own  label Aarden Records together with Wolken (Wouter Gheysen and Sedric aka David VM).
With a first release of Droneghost from Barcelona.
 
In 2019 he started with producing his own music, first track will come out on Aarden Records.

2000년, Mike Deem 은 당시 파티 포럼인 '파티 가이드' 의 관리자로서 활동했다. 그는 많은 양의 자료 사진을 모았고 국내외 유명 아티스트들과 수많은 인터뷰를 했다. 이로 인해 그는 국내와 국제 행사, 다양한 무대, 백스테이지에 참가하게 되었고, 결과적으로 테크노 씬에 뛰어들게 되었다.

하드웨어와 셋의 가능성에 대한 모든 실험을 통해 Mike Deem 은 이제 세계를 탐험하고 그의 깊고, 대기적이고, 어두운 분위기과 때로는 멜랑콜릭한 애시드 라인과 다소 최면적인 테크노를 여기하는 베이스 라인으로 철저히 무장한다. 그는 여전히 새로움 원하고 있으며, 자신의 셋을 색채감 있게 구성하기 위해 재능 있는 새로운 프로듀서의 트랙들을 이용하는 것을 좋아한다. 믹서, 하드웨어 요소, 라이브 인터메조 등이 포함된 그의 현재 하이브리드 셋으로 대중 예술과 순수 예술 사이의 경계는 모호해진다. 그의 믹싱 세션은 청자에게 일종의 환각적인 황홀감과 만족감을 준다.

다시 말해, Mike Deem 은 당신을 흥미진진하며 신비로운 여정으로 데려감과 더불어, 편안한 환경에서 다양한 방법과 어두운 공간감을 통해 여러분을 안전하게 목적지까지 인도한다.

2019년에 그는 바르셀로나 기반의 Droneghost 의 첫 발매와 함께 Wouter Gheysen 와 Aarden Records 라는 레이블을 런칭했다.

2019년에 그는 자신의 음악을 제작하기 시작했고, 첫 트랙은 Aarden Records 에서 발매 예정이다.

In 2000, Mike Deem started as an administrator of the then partyforum ‘Partyguide.be’. He accumulated a huge collection of photographs and provided numerous interviews with renowned domestic and foreign artists. This took him to national and international events, to various stages and backstages, only to be immersed in the then Techno scene.

By DJs such as James Ruskin, Surgeon, Luke Slater, Female and Regis, to name but a few, Mike Deem discovered that there is much more to Techno than meets the eye. 
Inspired by this UK and Industrial approach to electronic music, he bought some turntables, a mixer and a few monitors. 
He was now in search for his mojo by mixing at parties and small events in places like Decadance and also The Zoo (Hasselt). He participated in some DJ contests and was selected in 2006 to mix in "the young talent corner" at Kozzmozz. On the 12th anniversary of this Belgian renowned Techno event he played in the Ultra Room. 

This time was especially characterized by making fun and it all tasted like more. He was very eager, already making some name and sometimes even played with 3 decks... until Mike Deem abruptly took a break in 2007. 

Fortunately, this period ended in 2013. Mike Deem was back and stronger than before. Together with Mathiew Houzen he founded the humbly party concept 'Electronic All Starz' and music became his outlet in which he experimented with Traktorscratch and some hardware tools. This new way of mixing and his period of rest and research led him to an appreciation of the more darker sounds in electronic music. He was triggered by the way how producers like Ø [Phase], Rødhåd, Shifted, seduce the listeners with a blend of melancholy, deep sad pads with an outspoken rhythm which leads you to darker places. 

Through all the experiments with hardware and setup possibilities, Mike Deem is now ready to explore the world and to amaze with his deep, atmospheric, dark ambient and sometimes melancholic acid melody and bass lines which result in a somewhat hypnotic Techno. He is still looking to renew and likes to use new talented producers to color in his sets. With his current hybrid setup, which includes Traktor, a mixer, some hardware elements and live intermezzo's with his Tr-8, the boundary between art and pure entertainment becomes blurred . His mixing sessions give the listener some kind of psychedelic sense of ecstasy and satisfaction. 

In other words, you can say that Mike Deem takes you on an intriguing mystical journey and immerses you, through various routes and dark places in a in a comfy setting, to safely take you along, with an off-beat motion to your destination.
