| FEATURED RELEASE Miguel Migs - Those Things Remixed Street Date: March 25th 2008 Those Things Remixed further diversifies Miguel Migs’ sound by offering new versions of the albums original tracks creatively reinterpreted by various talented artists spanning the globe. UK band/DJ collective Crazy P offers a funkier, spaced-out take on “Sometime,” while retaining – if not enhancing - Tim Fuller’s soulful vocals. “Fire feat. Junior Reid” undergoes two drastic changes thanks to Cottonbelly’s killer dubbed out mid tempo groove and Faze Action’s afro-jazz inspired house rhythms. Australian producer Simon Grey adds a thick layer of organic old soul/disco/funk that perfectly complements Lisa Shaw’s vocals on the title track, while Lithuania’s Mario Basanov takes it down deep on his moody electronic remix of “Can’t Get Through”. Eric Stamile brings a little wobbly electro funk to the table with his dub of “So Far ”, and Alix Alvarez drops a classic rework of “Mesmerized”. Additional remixes on Those Things Remixed come from the likes of Rasmus Faber, Dolls Combers, J-Boogie, and of course Miguel Migs. BIO Miguel Migs stands at the forefront of electronic music’s soulful realm. Whether tackling his original productions or remixes, he achieves an organic-soulful sound by combining the best of both the electronic music world and live instrumentation. For many years, Miguel’s productions have been included on countless compilations and his records have slid into the crates of top DJs across the globe. His music has also landed on numerous TV Shows, including Six Feet Under, Sex in the City, and MTV’s Road Rules and Real World. Contrary to many of his club-centric DJ/producer peers, Miguel is not always concerned with the potential dance floor appeal of his soulful tracks. "It’s music you can enjoy and listen to at home, in the club, or anywhere. Not necessarily just to rock the dance floor." explains the Northern California native, who grew up with a true love of reggae, soul, classic rock, jazz, hip-hop and just about everything else. His impressive discography includes more than 100 original productions and remixes on seminal independent labels such as Salted Music, Naked Music, Astrelwerks, Yoshitoshi, NRK, Black Vinyl, Large, Chez, Transport recordings, Om Records, Defected Records and many others. His recordings have consistently made waves in the underground circuit and have landed on DJ hype charts internationally. He goes highly regarded when it comes to remixes, having worked with major label artists such as Macy Gray, Lionel Ritchie and Britney Spears. Miguel additionally has released numerous mix CD compilations on labels including Defected, Naked Music, Southport Weekender and NRK. Never one to sit still, Migs started his own label Salted Music in 2004. Having been associated with an extensive number of labels throughout his career, he came to realize a desire to have his own base, a vehicle for building his own catalogue of quality material. Salted Music is a foundation for Migs to choose and release music that inspires him, as well as release his own productions and compilations. As a producer, Miguel realizes a strong connection between his electronic music productions and live musical background. He writes his own lyrics and plays his own instruments, be it guitar, bass, percussion or keyboard. As a DJ, Miguel was recognized and nominated for best DJ in the 2004 House Music Awards held in London. Migs maintains the same approach to his sets as to his productions, combining a variety of influences and styles fused together. The result is funky, deep, soulful, bumping house music. "I like to mix it up and keep it moving smoothly, taking the dance floor through a very spontaneous mix into the realms of quality, deep house music depending on the mood in the room", says Migs. "But, whether it’s vocal, tracky, dubby, moody, percussive or broken beat, the sound always remains soulful and funky. Click Here to read full bio.
