Mikey Laing - 6 feet deeper mix (Deep House)

Followed by a short clip of Mikey performing live at Top Hat Culture #3!

A little bit about Mikey Laing from the man himself:

"I first found a love for music at a very young age, always borrowing my parents old records to listen to in the quiet of my own room.

This passion for music blossomed in high school when I took music as a subject.

Learning to play the drums, classical guitar and a little piano improved my ability to read & write music, as well as identify sounds and keys in various pieces of music without having to read the musical notes.

After experimenting with many types of sounds I eventually fell in love with House music, in particular the deeper sounds of House.

During my first year at University I developed an interest in mixing music and electronic music production, which ultimately fueled my desire to pursue DJ'ing as an interest.

Having a fairly sound music background (theory and practical) enables me to be versatile in terms of mixing as well as experimenting with various sounds in different environments.

I am part owner of a small production company called Energy Productions.

Both myself and my business partner, DJ Welkin are very versatile and frequently take various genres of music to different dance floor environments.
