About Me

About Mike Leigh.....Mike Leigh (Lil’ Mike) currently living in Wigan (22 years old) and studying in Manchester was a regular fixture of the ‘Scouse Bounce’ scene that erupted in and around Wigan during the early 2000s (This scene involved such names as: Ben T, Mikey B, Welly, Nirta M, Danny Walsh, Mike Di Skala, The Rezidents, Daz Birchall and Pete Daily). He took a lot of his influences from this scene, learning the skills needed to be an accomplished DJ – so much so that he ended up with his own night at Flame. Mike started his DJing career at a club called Flame at the tender age of 18 where he used to run a successful night; this lasted for over 2 years. After that he had several bookings from Maximes, Park hall, Cricketer’s, Liquid Rock to name a few. He has had residencies for Bass2Bounce, Overload and currently had a residency for Velocity. Mike then started to get into the Hardcore scene, buzzing off the sounds of Re-con, Robby Long and DJ Si & Unknown. He started becoming more aware of production values in both genres. (His producing heroes being Ultrabeat, The Rezidents, Alex k, Klubbheads and KB Project for the bounce scene and Re-con, Robby long and Stormtrooper for the Hardcore scene.) He already knows that his aim in production, when he starts producing at the highest level, will be based around the hardcore sounds. In the short term, Mike’s goal is to bring a bit of life back to the Bounce scene in Wigan as over the last year the scene seems to have died somewhat. Too many people are releasing records that are just a simple remix of an old tune without any new ideas. These new versions can appear up to 3 times a year and is stifling the creativity of other artists. Mike’s ambition is to master Cubase and Reason. Hopefully after his first year at collage he can go onto Level 3 music production and then University. He then hopes to start DJing at big nights across the country and playing his beloved hardcore music Mike has worked with many top name DJs and MCs in is time: Zunie, Danny Walsh, Pete Daily, Jamie Agar, Steptonic, Efezze, Treble, Arkie, Layback and Mc Storm just to name a few and is very proud of his achievements so far.
