About Me

Tessai (Mike) entered the electronic dance music community ten years ago as an artist with great aspirations but no intention to perform publicly. After canvassing different electronic music genres found his niche in new school breaks then made a debut on Bass Pressure Radio in 2002. Spending every opportunity behind turntables became his night life culture as he aspired to be a lynchpin for enthusiast globally.
Dallas night clubs were invaded with a new tear out sound that would uniquely identify Tessai along with his precise mixing techniques. In 2004 he was invited to join forces with Gravity Defiant Alliance then would organize a remarkable CD release party called "Breaking it Down" with the collective. Blue Print has been distributed by record shops throughout the US and featured on web cast everywhere, reaching After Shock Radio in Gloucester, UK.
Over the next year Tessai collaborated in one of the most successful Dallas residencies at Club ONE . Gravity Defiant Alliance put on several events at the venue where his next project was released in late 2005. This phenomenal CD entitled Multi Pass acquired recognition by Radioio BEAT in Orange Park FL. that would land him a guest spot on the show.
Tessai has played events with the likes of Frankie Bones , Paul van Dyk, & keoki alongside local colleagues such as Burufunk or Carbon Community with many more during his vocation.. It's difficult to negate such an eclectic style, and he is often credited for being a dynamic messenger capturing support from a broad audience. Tessai has inspired interest of many listeners with an amalgamation of sound leaving the most elite of breaks purest wanting more....

Music:


Electro house (also known as dirty house, electrotech, and often shortened to electro) is a subgenre of house music that rose to become one of the most prominent genres of electronic dance music in 2004-today. Stylistically, it combines the four to the floor beats commonly found in House music with harmonically rich analogue basslines, abrasive high-pitched leads and the occasional piano or string riff. The tempo of electro house ranges approximately from 125 to 135 bpm.The use of the word "electro" to describe this style of modern house music is contentious, and creates an ambiguity between electro house and the 1980s electro movement, by which it was influenced.

Movies:


Snatch, L4yer Cake, Crank, Boondock Saints, Human Traffic, Suicide Kings, Usual Suspects, Swingers, Old School, Talladega Nights, Blow, Reservoir Dogs, It's All Gone Pete Tong, Pulp Fiction, Road Trip, Sword Fish, HACKERS, Gia, The Transporter, American Gangster, & Chaos
