Mike Ravelli was born December 17, 1983 in Haarlem, the Netherlands. Overwhelmed by the continuous, monotone motion of the early Detroit sound, Mike wanted to know more and get closer to the wonderfull world of music.
Without even having DJ equipment, Mike started frequenting the local record store, listening and buying records from techno artists like Richie Hawtin, Gaetano Parisio and Ben Sims. At the age of 17, Mike managed to move to a place for his own. In his small room, he quickly bought the equipment he needed to let his DJ career take off.
With invitations in small bars and parties at friends places, he managed to bring his music out in the open very quickly.
Appearing on the legendary GZG Familieweekend in the summer of 2005, he entered a new phase in his life as a DJ. With his six-hour marathon set he surpluses all expectations, claiming a place as a DJ in the Gasten Zonder Grenzen collective, widely known for their wild (after) parties in the area of Amsterdam. As a partner of underground heroes like Ille Bitch and De Man Zonder Schaduw, he now found his own space in the Dutch scene.
The year 2006 was a complete turn around for Mike. After playing in several clubs and venue's, other people started to see his talents as well. This resulted not only in having a residency for Club Stalker and GZG, but international gigs followed as well. Mike is also playing weekly on a global radio station, www.livesets.com. Overwhelmed by this succes he felt in love with the great feeling of controling, manipulating the crowds. Being only twenty three years of age, there are lot of things yet to discover...
