OPEN WATER chillout remix Darkspin feat’ Alex Grace 2014

We asked Michael lots of nosey ‘ Hello’ type questions which he graciously chose not to answer, but he shared a bit about his background and musical influences with us.

It was in the early 70’s with the Motown era that music began to speak to me in a profound way. I joined various cover bands and toured the Euro/American Navy and Air force bases in Germany, Italy, and Spain playing keyboards and percussion. I started composing my own music too, however as the age of digital recording had not arrived, my compositions were just piano pieces.
In the early 90’s, the Café Del Mar was a big influence and instrumental music began to make inroads into the world’s musical consciousness. Music did not have to be a ‘song’ but could stand alone as an instrumental piece. The difference now being that it was music not wholly played on traditional instruments, but introducing electronica into the mix.
I soon realised I could complete a full arrangement, playing all the parts, and enabling me to conjure up wonderful sounds and explore so many musical different landscapes. I was well and truly hooked and it felt like a new beginning for me.
In 2006, I was finally in a position to dedicate my life to the pursuit of my musical dream. When the chance came along I grasped it wholeheartedly and have never looked back. My first release in the chilled/lounge genre was in 2006, and ever since I have simply made up for lost time, releasing 14 of my own albums, and appearing on over 500 compilations including Café Del Mar, which was a big ambition of mine since they were such a BIG influence, and also the Buddah Bar series. I can be heard on local, and international radio stations in Monaco, France, Belgium, Australia and the US as well as numerous online stations broadcasting from Germany, the Netherlands and Italy. I also present my own radio show on Ocean Chilled Radio every Saturday night at 6PM GMT.

Is the mysterious UK based producer Archemides the Banksy of Dance music?? Even we don’t know who he is for sure, but with his big floor-filling EDM sound, and gliding euro-synth remixes, it will be hard to stay under the radar for long.
