Mikkel

Mikkels began the DJ career in his hometown of Aarhus, Denmark. At the tender age of 13 he was already involved with his own radio show and was DJing in the youth club. It has almost been two decades since he began spinning stuff like Soul II Soul, Deelite, S'express and Beats International. The hours after school were used crate digging for old soul and funk records with artists such as Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and The Commodores.He has always been known to mix genres and try to create an exiting blend in his sets. However its no secret that he has been greatly influenced by black music with genres such as soul, funk, jazzfunk, boogie and disco. Stuff that still appears in his sets today.In 1999 Mikkel moved to Copenhagen where he was soon involved with local house parties. First with a club night called “Vibes” and later he was behind the successful club nights called “welovehouse”. With this series of events he was spinning with names such as Axwell, Grant Nelson, Robert Owens, Joey Negro, Can7, Claude Monnet, Martin Solveig and many others.Mikkels production career has also really picked up. He has been remixing names such as Cece Rogers (USB Records) and Indira Khan (Soulmagic). He has been putting own releases out. One of them “Into my Life” was released on the respected british label Reelgroove and was included on Hed Kandi’s “Summer House” compilation. In 2008 he released “Free your mind” with co-producer Sensual Soul and the beautiful voice of J-sun (known for Back to love). It created a buzz at WMC in Miami and has been featured on house compilations worldwide.In 2008 Morten Trust and Mikkel teamed up and are now running and producing together under the Soulmagic name. This means way way action in the studio, a syndicated radioshow and much more. Experience to hear a lot more from Mikkel Wendelboe and the renowned danish label in the future.
