ADHD EP 002 - Deep House Music - DJ Mike Madness

John Franklin is a passionate artist who has over 30 years of experience in the music scene. He has tried his hand at various genres and started out as a DJ in Mallorca, Spain. Seven years ago, he released his tech house album “Fucking Bad”, which already reflects a significant part of his musical development.

Now he presents his collected works - a comprehensive compilation of the tracks he has created over the years. This release offers an insight into his musical journey and shows the diversity and creativity that characterize his style.

Dj Mike (Madness) Bleackley first experienced the genre of house music in the mid eighties and was hooked. Listening to such influential artists and Dj's like Deadly Hedley, Todd Terry, Larry Levan were just a few. 
He immediately fell in love with this music and knew that he wanted to be the person delivering it to the people, after buying some turntables and a mixer he began to master the art of turntabling. 

Upon moving from Toronto in 1991 Dj Mike Madness worked hard to promote himself and was fortunate to be in the forefront of the thriving house scene that Vancouver developed where Parties were held in lofts, studio's and warehouses throughout the downtown area with details about getting to the party were vague and mysterious. These elements created a great vibe and produced a sense of uncertainty as these events could be shut down at any moment.  That is "underground" and what our house music is about. Freedom of expression through music and dance.

Over the following years Dj Mike Madness attained residences and regular cameo's at a multitude of clubs all over Vancouver and BC including: Fortune Sound Lounge, Lotus Club, Joseph Richard, Red Lounge, Graceland, Twilight Zone, Bar None, Au Bar, Stone Temple, Voda, Richards on Richards, Mars/Wettbar, The World, Caprice, Plaza, Ginger 62, Sky Bar, Shine, Tommy Africa’s "Soul Kitchen" in Whistler BC, and the World Famous Commodore Ballroom.  He was also the 1995 Winner of Alert magazines Dj Competition @ Richards on Richards and Winner of another Dj Competition held at Twilight Zone. 

Dj Mike Madness has also had the pleasure of playing alongside legendary Dj’s such as Doc Martin, Francis Harris(Adultnapper), Pezzner, Jay Tripwire, Marques Wyatt, Julius Papp, Keoki and many more. 
Mexico has been a popular spot for Mike, Having played at Nikki Beach and Passion Club in Cabos San Lucas also a lucky set at La Santanera Club (Owned by Thievery Corporation) In Playa Del Carmen during the 2009 BPM music festival.  

Asked why he loves to play house music Dj Mike Madness says that he, “Likes to play music with soul, whether instrumental or vocal, I want something that will touch the audience and connect with them on a subconscious level and guide them through the spirit of house music”.  
Mike is a true veteran and pioneer in the house scene, a man whose love for the music he plays is apparent through his continued dedication to the music and the crowds with whom he loves to share it.
