A Maryland native, Magnus, AKA Michael Lee (Discover), has called Seattle, Washington home for the past 9 years. Magnus first got his start in 2002 in the Seattle music scene under the DJ name of “Magnus” by playing out around the area at club events and parties. Under
his alias “Magnus”, he has had several releases on Pharmacy, JOOF, and Audacious in addition to tracks appearing on CD compilations by Ministry of Sound and Moist Music. Under his "Michael Lee" alias, he has seen releases on Discover with his tracks supported by Aly and Fila, Sean Tyas, and John Askew. Magnus has an upcoming Michael Lee release on Discover entitled Everblue with a remix by Adam Foley. His greatest accomplishment to date was winning the Sean Tyas Melbourne remix competition in 2009.
Producing music as Magnus, Michael's style is somewhat of a crossover between trance and psytrance, incorporating characteristics of each into his music. His style uses grindy, acidic synths and basslines that forge together to produce an energetic and uplifting sound. His tracks have been played and supported around the world, especially by Christopher Lawrence and John Fleming. With several releases on both Pharmacy and JOOF coming in the months ahead, 2010 will be a big year for Magnus. In particular, be on the lookout for his tracks Forward Command, The Memory, Final Resolve, and First Born very soon.
