Local 13 Dj's
MICHAEL MYERS
As the DJ credited with founding Philadelphia's trance music scene, Michael Myers
has always been one of the most dedicated pioneers of the Eastern Seaboard's
dance music community.
An intensely serious minded and driven individual, Myers was first exposed
to techno in 1992 via the music of renowned DJs Josh Wink and Frankie Bones.
Although Myers began his career behind the tables spinning hip-hop records,
he quickly discovered that electronic music was his calling. Drawn to the
melodic tones of progressive trance, Myers found it to be "more intricate to
mix than people would think. It's a style of music that is almost a pop
format. While pursuing his career as a DJ, Myers became deeply involved behind the
scenes with two of Philadelphia's dance music institutions: Local 13 and 611
Records. A dynamic member of the Local 13 production company since 1995,
Myers is involved in every aspect of their events. He serves as a DJ,
promoter, junior partner and event coordinator, helping out with everything
from booking the talent to decorating the event venue.
While gaining recognition at Local 13 events for his skills behind the
tables, Myers quickly amassed an impressive touring schedule. As he traveled
across the U.S., playing in Chicago, Detroit, New York City, Washington
D.C., Baltimore, Phoenix and Pittsburgh, among other cities, Myers'
popularity exploded back in his hometown.
Myers is proud to admit that he receives a profound sense of confidence
knowing that's he working toward a solid career in the music industry
without really having a blueprint on how it’s done. Says Myers: "Bringing
Philadelphia an atmosphere that shows what dance music is all about. It is
truly a wonderful gift."
