MICHAEL WALKEN
Michael Walken hails from Windsor outside London in the the UK. He has a wide appreciation and love for all types of music from the non boundaries and non-conformity of classical and jazz to 170 bpm IDM or hardcore. The various influences can be heard in Michaels productions which are mainly focussed around the techno / melodic / minimal / tech house / deep house / electronica / ambient / soundtrack areas.
'Michael first got into dance music aged 10 listening with friends to the prodigy charly in the school playground on a rave generation compilation on a walkman and speakers. He started dj'ing at 14 playing old skool jungle drum n bass, early jungle crossover happy hardcore and old skool breakbeat hardcore. Over the years he has played many gigs in London for different big clubs including turnmills, Egg, Fire, the glasshouse, and lots of London bars all over London.
Michael's biggest achievement too date though comes in a December 2019 release after signing to the hugely respected and well known in the techno and electronica worlds Traum Schallplatten Records. The track is a deep dark mysterious minimal techno track called Placebo Paradox with haunting vocals from the singer songwriter Kara Square. The track Placebo Paradox will be out on compilation Tour de Traum XVIII a well respected mix series by Riley Reinhold, Traums, visionary A&R head honcho and owner. This really is Michaels best work yet and a dream come true to be signed to Riley and Jaqueline Reinholds incredible and versatile label not forgetting all their others including Trapez and MBF. Traum having been a home to most techno artists / producers that Michael respects including Nathan Fake, Dominick Eulberg, Gabriel Ananda, Max Cooper, Minilogue, Extrawelt, Piemont, Fairmont and many more. Also Traums most recent release from ROWA with a superb ep has a remix from John Digweed and Nick Muir.
2020 is set to be one of his best years yet. Michael wants to establish himself as a proper artist with more of his own lyrics as well as varied production works and composition.
