Current Residencies/Regular Guest
In the UK, Mikey has been resident DJ at Club NME London (Koko) for over three years playing indie and electro to capacity crowds of over 1500 people a week, as well as guest slots around the city throughout the year. Club NME London is one of the UK's biggest alternative clubs and has one of biggest glitter balls you will ever see!In Europe, he has a number of irregular residencies around Germany (Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, and more) as well as guest slots in Belgium and Spain.
Club NME London, KOKO, London, UK
www.koko.uk.com
Resident since april 2005 at this 1,600 capacity Koko (ex-Camden Palace) venue playing a broad spectrum of music that reflects the current scene from the latest crop of shout along indie to crossover dance and hip-hop. This packed night, sponsored by the magazine of the same name is one of the biggest alternative nights in the UK.
King Kong Kicks, Hotel Shanghai, Essen, DE
www.hotelshanghai.de
After an extremely busy guest slot in late 2006 he was offered a bi-monthly residency at this popular venue playing der neu heisse sheisse (hot new shit) from London. This has led to visiting other King Kong Kicks nights around Germany including the "versus Karrera Klub" night at the renowned Magnet Club in Berlin and the EU 50 Years Celebration Parties, also in Berlin.
Atomic Cafe, Munich, DE
Along with Jeff Automatic, he is an irregular guest at this famous venue. Irregular because he and Jeff find it so hard to be in the same city at the same time anymore, but when they can be the Atomic Cafe is always ready for them!
Club NME Germany, Molotow Club, Hamburg, DE
Having heard them in Munich, the promoter for Club NME Germany invites Mikey and Jeff to help launch Club NME Germany by being the guest DJ's at each event. As well as the regular Club NME events, Mikey played the Reeperbahn Festival 2008 after party which has been described as "the best party ever at the Molotow" by the venue owner.
Press
"...with a soundtrack of classic and cutting-edge indie from DJ Mikey Four." - Evening Standard (London), Jun 9, 2006
"Hadouken! took the stage to an audience that was already pumped and ready to go thanks to a downright impeccable DJ set from Mikey Four." - www.goodweatherforairstrikes.com
"A shouty, sweaty and packed guitar-rockin' and electro all-sort sesh"- Time Out on Club NME London
"Top up-and-coming bands are followed by DJs playing a fine selection of new and old music...it's entertaining stuff and a fun, fashionable crowd of students and musos create a good atmosphere on the spacious dancefloor. Still a proper Camden night out." - LondonTown.com on Club NME London
"For indie nights, the club’s OTT décor contrasts rather well with a grungier crowd and combined with the NME’s cachet makes a great forum for new music – somewhat thin on the ground in London these days." - www.viewlondon.co.uk on Club NME
"Friday nights are the home to the Club NME party so you can imagine the shenanigans going off there." - www.itchylondon.co.uk
"After the great premiere in December, Mikey Four from now on will honour us 6 times in the year." - King Kong Klub
