Mike Koglin

Anyone who knows their way around the trance soundscape knows the name Mike Koglin. Since kicking the door down and reaching the UK Top 20 in 1998 with "The Silence" he's been an established mainstay of the scene right from its nascent years. Known for his inventiveness and consistency, a combination rarely seen in the ever-shifting and unpredictable world of electronic dance music, Mike has a busy schedule in his London studio as a producer, and as a DJ with worldwide tours and performances at globally renowned clubs such as Ministry Of Sound, Club Circus in L.A., Gaudi Arena Moscow, Zouk in Kuala Lumpur or Club Heaven in Seoul. International festival appearances include the Love Parade in San Francisco, Switzerland's Street Parade, Gatecrasher Tours, Revolution Festival Poland, Slinky Tours in Australia, Waterdance Festival in Russia, Malaysia's Freedom Elite festival or 2F White at the Taiwan World Trade Centre. Mike’s DJ style is reflective of the tracks he makes – driving, energetic and uplifting. Combining trance with elements from electro and techno his peak-time sets regularly contain his personal re-edits of tracks plus of course some of his own productions and remixes.

Throughout his career both behind the decks and in the studio, the dynamic and energetic tracks which have become emblematic of his style have earned him a Grammy nomination and a place in DJ Magazine's annual Top 100, as well as critical acclaim across the board from artists such as Armin Van Buuren, Tiesto, Paul Van Dyk, Above&Beyond, Ferry Corsten, Sander van Doorn, Judge Jules and many others. His body of work is extensive, and his CV comprises writing, production and remix credits for big names including Boy George, Jeremy Healy, Dido, Cassandra Fox, Above&Beyond, The Thrillseekers, Pulser, Darren Tate and Simon Patterson. While releasing his work on established labels such as Anjunabeats, Spinnin, Discover, Ministry of Sound and other prestigious record companies Mike also runs his own label Noys Music, described by Mixmag as 'one of the hottest trance labels in the UK'.

Mike hosts his increasingly popular radio show 'The Noys Sessions', aired monthly on DI.fm and many other international stations, which is also available as a free podcast on iTunes (http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-noys-sessions-mike-koglin/id370782577 )

At present, Mike is preparing to unleash a slew of fresh material including several exciting solo projects, various remixes, and a number of collaborations with some of the biggest names in EDM. And with DJ bookings flying in thick and fast the future looks set to see Mike continue to reign supreme in the trance genre.
