After scouring underground raves and dancefloors of Europe since the 90's, Mik izif is now a reference to the underground Techno Scene.
Sounds heavy, percussive beats and psychedelic synth, the music is tailored for massive dancefloor .
Addicted to music since childhood, it was in 1993 that the teenage Michael a.k.a Mik izif got his first set of decks. whilst heavily into detroit techno and chicago house at first, Mik also had tendencies for Acid House & Techno with his hysterical and minimal groove (Dj Pierre, Jeff Mills, Mad Mike, Underground Resistance, Plastikman, Speedy J, etc...) Later arrived the London wave with its acid techno sound, when Mik discovered really the TB303. It's phat sound would seduce him and become his accomplice in the years to come.
It was in the late of 90s whilst discovering underground and commercial raves with IZIF sound system and Sono Pirate that he started his first live sets. Mik created his own label IZIF Records and produced his first album in 1999 with artists from his crew.
In 2003 one of Mik's Acid techno tracks appeared on the 12 inch under a independant label from St Etienne/France ''Anarcore production''. Followed by more of 12''s and digital on various independant labels like Physical Records, De-Konstrukt USA, Cypher, Teggno, Qubiq, Platinium, Mekanism Records France, Black Pearl Music, Arret d'Urgence, Invisibles (Chicago), I.O.T, Antefutura, Toolbox Records, No Sense Of Place, Advise, O'Clock, Re:Beat, Junky Robot, Hydrophonic and more to come.
From then on, he played at numerous venues around Europe and as far as Canada and south America.
These days Mik mostly alternates between Italy and France, playing Raves, clubs and Festies, allowing him to connect with an ever wider audience. His style of mix and studio work are diverse, and Mik knows how to adapt the music to please a crowd.
Athough he has experimented with an eclectic mix of styles, Mik always remained faithful to the music he began with.
Today his production include Techno deep, dark & industrial.
His Mix / Live sets or Deejay vinyls sets are more Techno heavy, with strong beats and fat synth. The tunes are ours, to savour on the dance-floor.
The rest in music.
