MIKEWHITEPRESENTS were formed by dance music fans Mikeyboy and DJ Danny after
they met while working for the same TV production company in London, UK.
Upon discovering a shared passion for the music of BT and Tiesto, and for the afterhour
joys of drunken Karaoke, they decided to create a platform for creating ambient, experimental,
cinematic, theatrical, melodramatic house music/pop music that was closer to movie soundtrack music than to traditional bangin' club tunes.
They christened the musical project MWP and began creating full Progressive House music
that gave them the time and scope to play with ideas and structures, while also trying
in desperation to teach themselves the basics of very simple, cheap software.
Early tunes were constructed using every variation of kit from Ejay to demo versions of
Cubase VST, Fruity Loops and many others, before they settled on Reason and Ableton Live as their
principal writing tools.
Early tunes like "Calling Fassbinder" and "The Rising" (available on the debut release
"Demonstration5" (MWP/CD/D001) were well received, and played at DJ gigs and house
parties alike, but a desire to expand the sound and write songs that moved away from
the constraints of house music led to the involvement of top London singer/songwriter
Michaela Betts who introduced an inspiring vocal and soul element.
Bringing in top dance producers Griff and Old Skool Hausemeister DJ Kenty began to
cement the MWP sound, and with a stronger acoustic edge melting in to the mixes, songs
like "Straight Roads" and "Miss U Bad" were blessed with the trademark "Griffunk"
sound.
Today, MWP have racked up close to 50 original songs, and armed with their trusty
laptops and cheap mics, they continue to record and feed their material out to the
world via their production company MWPSongs.
MWP...Pop will a capital P, Entertainment will a capital E and Right As White Can Be!
