Rewind about me:
After a lifetime of loving those special moments in a track that gives you goosebumps and enforced rewinds, I thought it was about time I tried to create some of those moments for myself. Back in the late 80s / early 90s I knew what I wanted to do but I just didn't have the equipment or budget to do it, so it got shelved for nearly 20 years whilst I got all grown up with a proper job and a lovely family.

Then after getting a USB turntable I started converting all my vinyl to MP3s and working with Audacity...then one thing led to another and I found myself doing edits, extended mixes and mash-ups of all my favourite soul / funk / hip-hop tracks. Bliss!!!

Since then I've moved onto Cubase5 (now 6) and I haven't looked back. What started out as a very personal thing soon developed into a more public thing and I'm lucky enough that other people In the UK soul scene like what I've been doing....which I never ever take for granted.

In the last 12 months I've worked with Incognito, Beverley Knight, Kenny Thomas, West Coast Soulstars, Trish Standley, Miss Coco Brown, The Homework Brothers, Finite Source, Tom Glide & The Luv All Stars, Soularis, etc to name but a few...love em all to bits! I've also been interviewed on BBC radio as well as numerous internet radio stations.

I love female BVs, I simply worship at the feet of a crackin' bassline and I'd gladly sell my sister (if I had one) for strings that send a shiver down your spine!!

Influences include: New Order, Late Night Alumni, OMD, The Beatles, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, Beverley Knight, Shannon, Xena, Human League, Heaven 17, Trevor Horn, The Art of Noise, Todd Terry, Jam & Lewis, Electribe 101, Chaka Khan, Amii Stewart, Loose Ends, SOS Band, Pet Shop Boys, ELO, Ultravox, The Jones Girls, Samantha James, Bill Withers, Change, George Michael, Stephanie Mills, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Isley Brothers, Brand New Heavies, Cool Down Zone, Incognito....SOMEBODY STOP ME!!!

Erodoto Project

Album: 
Stories: Men, Lands & Gods - Cultural Bridge 2016
Molòn Labè (Come and get them!) - Cultural Bridge 2018

(...)La musica di Erodoto Project è un jazz europeo, raffinato, sensuale e meravigliosamente melodico con un forte sentimento mediterraneo e in parte latino. Le composizioni sono tutte eccellenti, con la tipica dolcezza armonica del jazz italiano, che è semplicemente struggente. La musica accarezza ed esplora la bellezza dei brani, senza cercare di impressionare o essere invadente. Il magistrale equilibrio tra la fruibilità di questa musica e la sua eleganza si raggiunge in pieno, senza compromettere i valori  artistici del Jazz(...) Adam Baruch 

Erodoto è forse considerato il primo “cronista” della storia, un vero e proprio reporter del mondo antico, grazie alla sua curiosità nel cercare di comprendere il mondo civilizzato e quello di cui si sapeva poco o niente, considerato "barbaro". Questa curiosità lo spinse a viaggiare e a vedere con i propri occhi quello che accadeva nel mondo o raccogliendo testimonianze concrete, dove non poteva arrivare di persona. Le sue Storie, le sue cronache di guerra, hanno attraversato i secoli e sono giunte fino a noi insieme alle curiosità dei popoli incontrati durante i suoi viaggi.
Abbiamo voluto ispirarci a lui per raccontare le nostre storie, i viaggi, gli incontri, messi a confronto da questo strumento fantastico che è la Musica.
Il Jazz è la trama nella quale si intreccia un ordito fatto di Miti del Mediterraneo, di Medioriente e di Sicilia.
Il repertorio è composto da brani originali dei due musicisti, e da canzoni della tradizione popolare mediterranea, rivisitati in chiave jazz, che hanno come tema il viaggio e il migrare.

Miguel Ángel Gómez Ruiz-Aragón, nació el 28 de noviembre de 1980 en la localidad de Manzanares, Provincia de Ciudad Real, en la Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla - La Mancha (España). Es diplomado en Ingeniería Técnica Industrial, en la Especialidad de Electricidad, por la Universidad de Castilla - La Mancha (UCLM), Graduado en Ingeniería Eléctrica por la Universidad de León y Máster en PRL por la Universidad Francisco de Vitoria de Madrid. 

Su primer contacto con la música electrónica se remonta a principios de la década de los 90’s, con las formas más comerciales del momento. Fue realmente a finales de esta década, cuando a través de algunos compañeros universitarios, conoce los sonidos electrónicos más underground, especialmente la música Techno. A partir de este punto empieza a interesarse por artistas similares, y de las formas de música electrónica de corte underground de lo más variadas: Aphex Twin, Orbital, Leftfield, Kraftwerk, Underworld, HD Substance, Cristian Varela, Ángel Molina u Óscar Mulero, entre otros. 

A finales de 1999 y principios de 2000 descubre por casualidad Zona 3, en Radio 3 (Radio Nacional de España), programa musical radiofónico dedicado a la música electrónica, que se emitía desde Madrid para todo el territorio nacional, y gran parte del globo vía satélite, presentado y dirigido por la locutora de radio valenciana (tristemente desaparecida en el año 2009) Sonia María Briz. Tras escuchar dicho programa, conoce el auténtico y genuino movimiento de la cultura musical electrónica más underground, liderada por la forma electrónica por excelencia: el Techno. 

En 2003 aprende a pinchar y se compra sus primeros platos, y en 2004 crea junto a un grupo de amigos el colectivo de DJs y programa de radio "Electronic Sound". El programa se emitía en la emisora local "Onda Mancha Manzanares" (ya desaparecida).

A la hora de mezclar, Mike GZ se decanta por el sonido más duro del Techno, seleccionando producciones de artistas como: Michael Burkat, Lars Klein, Robert Natus, Glenn Wilson, Patrik Skoog, Slobodan, Dylan Drazen, Chris Liebing, André Walter, Space Djz, Óscar Mulero, Exium, Reeko, Christian Wünsch, Pacou, Joton, Ritzi Lee, David Meiser, Structural Form, Dr. Cyanide o Bas Mooy, entre otros. Sus sesiones están cargadas de Techno de corte clásico, apostando por el formato vinilo para sus mezclas. Algunas de sus sesiones se pueden escuchar en su cuenta de SoundCloud (soundcloud.com/mikegz), y en su cuenta de Mixcloud (mixcloud.com/mikegzakathepreacher).

Ha pinchado principalmente por la zona centro de España (Madrid, Castilla - La Mancha y Castilla y León), y ha aparecido en programas de radio y podcasts a nivel tanto nacional como internacional: Minimized Music (Sevilla), Novaclub (Albacete), Vicious Radio (Redsonja Radio Show, Madrid), Podcast Series (dirigido por Álex García y Carlos Maestro, Ciudad Real), Fnoob Techno Radio (UK), In Progress Radio (Holanda), T.E.S. Radio (UK), su propia serie de podcasts, The Preacher Techno Podcasts, o sus últimas colaboraciones con la serie de podcasts de los sellos madrileños Black Stars Corporation (dirigida por Óscar López Beat y Reloadams) y Violation (serie de podcasts del propietario de los sellos Hardtools Records, U.K. Executes y Basic Form Group, José Chacón a.k.a Dr. Cyanide a.k.a Flat Area).

Como productor emplea el pseudónimo “The Preacher”, llevando varios años experimentado con hardware y software musical electrónico diverso, hasta conseguir su propio sonido, caracterizado por un Techno contundente y afilado, muy influenciado por sus productores de referencia mencionados.

Ha editado para los sellos: Superdrive Records (Italia), The Preacher Records (España), Dark Garden Recordings (España), K-84 Records (Chile), Armed Records (Argentina), Hardtools Records (España), BSC Records (España) y Automatized Process Records (España).

<a href='http://gigs.gigatools.com/user/ibanreus' target='_new'>Iban Reus's Upcoming Gigs </a>Tuesday 07 August, 2012 <a href='http://gigs.gigatools.com/user/ibanreus' target='_new'>Private Party, Paris, France</a> <a href='http://www.gigatools.com' target='_new'>Powered by GigaTools</a> This Spanish DJ based in Mallorca and Ibiza has allowed the powerful and talented characteristics of the Balearic music to influence his way of DJing, producing and off course his understanding of music. His musical bet is on house, deep and tech-house but one can say that he is personally most passionate about the soulful style. His habitual presence as guest DJ in the highly frequented and popular opening and closing parties of the Space Ibiza, are probably the most relevant proof of his uprising career as a professional DJ of international calibre. In such exiting and energetic events he receives tons of positive energy that he transmits skilfully to his turning tables, his beats and all present souls who year after year come to see him behind the turntables to relive such an electrifying experience again…Space, Space, Space!

In such parties he has shared booth with people of high voltage such as Carl Cox, Stefano Noferini Elio Riso, Kiko Navarro, Cesar del Río, John Digweed, Pete Tong, Steve Lawler, Chris Liebing, Mark Knight, Tocadisco, Rad Damon o Wally Lopez; and with each and everyone of them he’s been able to blend all that he received into his repertoire giving it strength, precision, and freshness. 

His most direct musical influences are the forever masters of house such as Frankie Knuckles, Todd Terry, Tony Humphries, Miguel Migs, Mark Farina, David Morales etc. To Iban Reus the origin of today’s dance music lies in Chicago’s house music, we should therefore never forget those precious roots. Most probably Iban Reus will manage, one of these days, to make his own sound flourish into a house that is elegant like Denis Ferrer’s, with the pulse of Joris Voorn’s techno and having the funky soul of Maceo Plex… it’s a great goal for which he will keep on fighting.

As a producer he is a tireless worker, knowing that to make the tunes most listened to and danced on you need to put in all the time and energy that you’ve got. He’s capable of publishing songs in direct collaboration with DJ such as Stefano Noferini, Tiger Stripes, DJ PP, Mario Ochoa, Negru, Luca M, UGLH,Tony Dee, Daniel Trim…and, at the same time, signing with Insert Coin Records, the tech house master piece “Space Expedition” that he produced under the name Kodiak together with his associate Rad Damon. This duo that has been working together for 15 years and have developed a way of working that is now perfectly complementary, this allows them, once they are creating or sharing sessions, to go right to the essential and they know just how to make things flow, which is highly appreciated on the dance floor and the radio waves of his radioshow.

Not to forget, the most important, if Iban Reus is having fun then everybody else will, that is how he is.
