Influenced very early on by the souds of funk, soul and disco from the 70's and early 80's, Mike Vasquez* has been playing and producing while evolving with the times, through a love for the music and passion for his craft.
While living in New Jersey, Mike first got the chance to play at different New York and New Jersey clubs and bars, as well as private parties (playing any chance he got.)
After Mike relocated to Miami he started playing at early Miami Beach hot spots like Cassis, Follia and also making guest DJ appearances at clubs such as Velvet, Boomerang and Club Nu playing the hi-energy of the times while evolving with the house sounds fresh from Chicago, Detroit and the UK.
This scene launched Mike into the house music explosion of the late 80..s early 90..s where he honed his technical skills and keen ear for blending base lines and beautiful melodies thus creating his own style which is his signature today.
With that influence Mike evolved into a well-known DJ who premiered as the resident of Jade, an Asian inspired ultra-lounge, the first of its kind in Miami Beach. Later, he held a residency at the Union Lounge where he tested the waters with R&B and hip-hop keeping the dance floor jumping.
While holding multiple residencies at Jade lounge, Butterfly Lounge , Blue Martini Fridays , and with the Bliss Club (an exclusive 15000 members-only traveling party), from 2002 to 2007 respectively , his extensive knowledge of music allowed him to play a blend that is fresh and unique to him.
Recently, his sets have been enjoyed at major Miami clubs such as Crobar, Amika and The Pawn Shop, along with guest apearences at Bond and A38 both in Houston Tx just to name a few. He continues to play for many private parties and making special guest appearances, playing with great DJ..s such as Robbie Rivera, B T, Austin Leeds, Tony Moran, Ivano Bellini* and Tracy Young, just to name a few.
Having worked for SFP Records* in Miami Beach for many years, Mike Vasquez* is now working in his new project with Hoodiny entertainment group to be released winter of 2008 and followed by a world tour. Mike Vasquez will also be launching his new consulting company called C M S custom music solutions , so stay tuned!!!!!
