MIGUEL MIGS
emerged from the 90s deep house underground scene to become the kind of artist who transcends the stylistic limitations of a genre so very few can. His musical journey began after picking up a guitar in his early teenage years and his first outlet was writing songs and playing in Dub/Reggae bands. Although Migs always loved and listened to all different styles of music, in the early 90s he connected to the soulful sounds of Deep House. By the mid 90s he began experimenting with
producing electronic dance music. And by the time the new millennium dawned, a string of releases and remixes on numerous leading indie dance labels earned him an enviable reputation among discerning dance music fans worldwide. As Petalpusher, hed also become a stalwart of the hugely influential Naked Music imprint, with his original productions,
remixes and compilations. But even bigger things were to follow.
His well-received 2002 debut full-length album "Colorful You" came out on the legendary Astralwerks label, and Migs began to attract attention from the broader music community, remixing big-name artists as diverse as Macy Gray, Lionel Richie and Britney Spears (yes, really). After years of relentless non stop global touring, his 2007 follow-up album "Those Things" saw him collaborating with big-hitting names like hip-hop legend
Sadat X and Reggae icon Junior Reid among others. The album was nominated for Best Dance Album in the Independent Music Awards, and was also included in Virgin records yearly Virgin Recommends 24 ECD promotion not to mention the single So Far went into the Top 5 in the Billboard Dance chart and #5 on the iTunes dance chart. Those Things was released on Migs' own label, Salted Music. Founded in 2004, he launched Salted Music as a creative outlet for, in his own words, music I like to play as a DJ, those B-side dubs, that underground creative feel. I never set out for it to be a large record label, its something we do pretty much on a part-time basis for fun as a side project. but its also important to me to be able to keep pushing new sounds and new artists. Migs reputation is such that when it came to recording his
last album Outside The Skyline (which debuted in the iTunes top 10 dance chart and received rave reviews by top publications) he was able to pull together an impressive line-up of collaborators including original disco diva Evelyn Champagne King, reggae legends Half-Pint and Freddie
McGregor, first lady of musicianship Meshell Ndegeocello, Berlin based jazz singer Georg Levin and bossa nova phenomenon Bebel Gilberto who all make an appearance on the album, alongside two vocalists whove been regular co-conspirators through the years, Aya and Lisa Shaw. The result is a sophisticated melting pot of sound that has
trademarked Miguel Migs. Informed by electronic elements but no slave to metronomic dancefloor rhythms and tempos, it takes influences from rock, jazz, reggae, soul and more, with a heavy emphasis on high-quality song writing and equally high production values. Despite achieving levels of success both critical and commercial Migs remains a genuinely humble, self- effacing individual. A globe-trotting DJ, nominated on a
Beatport poll as Best Deep House Producer who, rather than constantly follows the trends or hype, prefers to let his music do the talking. Thankfully, his music more than does the talking it speaks to people. Just listen.

"UNITING SOULS
has contributed to setting standards as to what the Seattle electronic music community has to offer on a local and international level. It is because of organizations like Uniting Souls that Seattle is a favorite stop among touring electronic musicians. With e-mail, cell phones, cheap flights, declining costs in music production, and the explosion of information technology, the face of the global music community is rapidly changing, but it is collectives like Uniting Souls that are evolving right alongside to help define and retain humanness in the often impersonal world we've created."
