Suffused Diary 095 with Mike Hiratzka on friskyRadio

Through his years of experience in dance music, Mike Hiratzka has been renowned for his outstanding production and engineering skills, as well as delivering blistering DJ sets on dance floors around the globe. His myriad releases on classic labels including Alternative Route, Baroque, Cyber and Spundae have cemented Mike's presence in the enduring legacy of electronic music. Although the majority of his time recently has been dedicated to being a music programmer on tours with pop music luminaries including Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, Charlie Puth and Toni Braxton, Mike has never lost his passion for progressive dance music. His two recent remixes, including the classic Blue Amazon tune "Four Seasons" (a remix collaboration with his friend and studio collaborator Danny Cheung) and the Blue Amazon & Zak Gee deep house jam "Voice" (recently featured on Three, a mix compilation from Quaint Records) represent Mike's passion for driving grooves, futuristic sounds and meticulous production. In the next year Mike has plans to release another remix of a Blue Amazon classic, the progressive vocal gem "And Then The Rain Falls" as well as continued work on a debut solo album that features collaborations with two vocalist/DJ/producers, Denver-based Lea Luna and Brooklyn scene stalwart Amunet Shah.

The summer of 2010 was already picking up its pace. Because of record high temperatures the cities were half empty with only dust and melting roads, as all the people were near the sea or at lakes, rivers, ponds and all sorts of swamps... so to say returned to the roots of life. Despite the forest fires, crops dying and people having to stay in water all day as if they were hippos, the heat wave really had some nice sides to it in the capital of Lithuania, Vilnius. It was here where Lithuania`s most promising new deep progressive act of 2010 emerged, and the underground electronic music scene has never been the same. As summer faded and the temperature dropped, everything returned to normal. But not for Suffused, who is still showing quite high temperatures and bringing exceptional heat to the global music scene.

Starting with the show "Suffused Diary" on Digitally Imported in 2011, Suffused has continually presented the freshest upcoming tracks from all around the world. Suffused Diary has seen the likes of Kasey Taylor, Tomas Haverlik, Airwave, Michael & Levan and Stiven Rivic, Lemon8, Cid Inc and many other prominent artists in the progressive house field. As of 2012, the show was transferred to friskyRadio where it continues to host exceptional guests and leave lasting impressions with each episode.

In 2013 Suffused launched their own imprint "Suffused Music”, a label that has managed to make a huge dent in the progressive scene in its short lifespan. With a long and ever growing list of all star talent, Suffused Music is a label to keep in your sites. Releases from artists including Van Bellen, Moshic, Rick Pier O'Neil, John Johnson, Danny Lloyd, Kay-D, Dynamic Illusion, Kieran J, Faskil, Progress Inn, Matteo Monero, East Cafe, Ryan Sullivan, Stephen J. Kroos, and many more, keeping Suffused Music in the spotlight with a steady release of fresh sounds. Not able to fit all the fantastic music into one label, Suffused launched sister labels Suffused Polarities, Cloudy Moon Records, and Magnetism Digital (together with Trukers) to cover a wide range of genres including Progressive, Breaks, Techno, Tech-House, relaxed Ambient, Downtempo and Chill Out soundscapes. 2014 also saw the beginning of a new show called 'Over the Moon' on Proton Radio.

Beyond the labels, Suffused has been heard at a variety of events, sharing the booth with Cid Inc, Sonic Union, Ewan Rill, LoQuai, CJ Art, qoob, Michael & Levan, Kastis Torrau, Sun, Quartz and more. This year will see him playing at Yaga Gathering and with more events still to come.

Suffused has already made significant impacts on the underground electronic music scene since emerging from the heat during the summer of 2010. There truly is no limit to what will happen next. Keep an ear tuned to Suffused and watch as the next steps in this epic journey unfold.

Nothing less than the best is a felony. JUST FOLLOW N LISTEN !! \0/ hope ur wearing the dancing shoes :p \0/
