for club/house and other genre mixes.
MikelD (pronounced "Mike-L-D") was born and raised in Chicago Illinois until 18 yrs of age. An avid dance music (disco at the time) listener, be began his DJ career by spinning at home as a hobby. Eventually he got tired of the -80 below wind chills the windy city had to offer and longed for a more habitable surrounding. Not wanting to leave the snow he moved to Denver Co. There among the beauty of the mountains, a change in life style and a world never explored by the "City Boy", his music also took a turn for change.
Ambient keyboard electronica and the guitar began to take over and he began experimenting with strings and the beauty that old world music had to offer. Never learning how to play an instrument but having the gift of hearing a song a few times and playing it, he began remixing other peoples music.
Now 20 years later he has had the honor of remixing ambient music for artists such as Sleepthief, Elu, Amethystis, Julia Claire (Sirisat) Delerium and many others not to mention he still has his dance itch. He has also done remixes for Depeche Mode and Darude.
Always busy, MikelD also helps to promote (for free) independent artist on his own website. "You have to have something special" says MikelD but if I like you... I'll promote you!

"Sirisat's" song "SEARCHING (Beyond Infinity)"
(Number 1 in Soundclick's ambient electronic section)
Review by Steve Gilmore

Category: Music
Sirisat Julia Claire has been one of my new finds and I just thought I'd give you guys the heads up too. Judging by her interview page, she has been active in the real world for some time, even having a couple of albums released a while ago and she's working with a whole raft of other musicians and producers (Carles Reig, Pep Rius, Ernesto Briceño and Dj MikelD) - all connected in some way to Ohm Records (or is that Ohmm.com) Yep, Julia is a yoga teacher/singer/dancer from the beautiful city of Barcelona in Spain, and her musical work is informed by her philosophy so expect some extremely chilled-out music for body and soul.
Ahhh now your looking a lot more interested...
As you should be because, no matter what your preference, a track where everything happens just so is a prime candidate for attracting attention. Despite its obviously spiritual overtones and approach, "Searching (Ong Namo) Beyond Infinity mix" is a instantly likeable track any level you care to name.
Welcoming and warm in the way Enya often is, although I have to say having evoked that image, Sirisat (and musical mainstay/producers Carles Reig and Dj MikelD) operate on an entirely different level. For sure there is a massive European influence stylistically and lyrically - and another reference my brain made was to Ilona, who operates in much the same musical field. However, as is usual, time and repeated plays really cracked this gem of a track open and although I don't normally go for this kind of thing, the musical muscle on display in this track is absolutely terrific, and worth the listen alone. The breakdown just after 3:00 in particular being a joy in and of itself.
However good (nay stunning) the music and production are, they are still topped by Sirisat Julia's incredibly professional singing (and a very nice video she makes too). Let me put it like this, if you can't get past the first minute of this track, then the whole five minutes it runs for will be of no use to you. You will not have recognised the skill, patience and dedication it took to bring this to your ears and I would guess your life would be poorer for it.
In this world of home/garage recording it's a pleasure to hear 'the real thing' and done so well, the only thing you need to worry about is whether you will like the style. There again, it covers so much musical ground in it's length, that I'm sure almost anybody could find a bit they liked.
Personally, I think there is a huge market for such material, and it's nice to know that at least I've heard one of the very best - in every way. If it sounds like I love this track, I do but I am professional enough to look REAL hard at anything I could pick apart and there isn't anything. At all. Seamless, that's the word.
