M1D1 is a DJ, producer, drummer, engineer, owner of Combat Records, and co-founder of the M.I.A. (a 20+ dj collective based in Chicago). His sound has be described as the 'hardest' in the MIA, but he can also play with a techy dancefloor vibe as well. Lately tho...he has taken on the sound known as JUMP UP...with new tunes rollin out the studio and new set being laid down.....its all about jumpup for now!M1D1 has been staple in the underground dance community since the mid '90s, after throwing countless Chicago rave parties and performing many Live PA's. As the years passed, he found his musical direction changing, heavily influenced by darker drum'n'bass labels such as MetalHeadz, Renegade, and Virus. Seeing as he was no stranger to the jungle vibe (original RIPE PRODUCTIONS circa 1992...bigups!)...it became his main focus .
