Miguel Migs
stands at the forefront of electronic music's soulful realm. In
both his original productions and his remixes, he achieves an organic,
soulful sound by combining the best of both the electronic music
world and live instrumentation.
Producing under
various monikers like Petalpusher and L'isha, Miguel's impressive
discography includes more than 100 original productions and remixes
on seminal independent labels such as Naked Music, Astrelwerks,
Yoshitoshi, NRK, Black Vinyl, Large, Chez, Transport recordings,
Om Records, Defected Records and his own label, Salted Music. He
almost single-handedly defined the sound of the vastly popular Naked
Music imprint label with which he's most closely associated. His
singles and artist albums on Naked - which effortlessly blend elements
of dub, funk, salsa, and rock with deep house beats - are what vaulted
him onto the international stage. His recordings have consistently
made waves in the underground circuit, sliding into the crates of
top DJs across the globe and landing on DJ hype charts internationally.
A highly regarded remixer, he has worked with major-label artists
such as Macy Gray, Lionel Ritchie and even Britney Spears.
As a producer,
Miguel realises a strong connection between his electronic music
productions and live-music background. He writes his own lyrics
and plays his own instruments, be it guitar, bass, percussion or
keyboard.
Miguel created
and launched his own label, Salted Music in 2004 out of a desire
to have his own base, a vehicle for building his own catalogue of
quality material. Salted Music is a creative outlet for Miguel to
release forward thinking soul-based electronic music of many tempos,
as well as his own productions and compilations.
Miguel brings
the same approach to his DJ sets as to his productions, combining
a variety of influences and styles fused together. The result is
funky, deep, soulful 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", he says.
"But, whether it's vocal, tracky, dubby, moody, percussive
or broken beat, the sound always remains soulful and funky."
