-- MIKE KOGLIN : RETURN OF THE LEGEND

LEGENDARY TRANCE PRODUCER & DJ IS TO PLAY IN FINLAND AGAIN!!!!

Mike Koglin burst onto the scene in 1998 with his club anthem and UK top20 hit 'The Silence', one of the defining tracks of the UK trance phenomenon which put Mike firmly onto the map as one of the key players in dance music.

Since then the Grammy-nominated Producer, Remixer and DJ has had a constant string of hits, under his own name or under one of his various aliases. And with over 50 remixes in the last 5 years Mike has remixed not only dance classics such as Lustral 'Everytime', DreamCatcher 'I Don't Wanna Loose My Way' and Brainchild 'Symmetry C' but also such big tunes as ''Fine Day'' (Kirsty Hawkshaw from Opus 3) or Dido's 'All You Want '.

In '05 Mike will continue his series of collaborations with some of the biggest names in dance including Darren Tate, JFK, Above & Beyond and Pulser. Mike's studio project with Jono Grant from Above& Beyond which brought us the massive club anthem 'Circuits' in 2004 was heavily supported by Judge Jules, Paul van Dyk and Armin van Buuren - look out for their massive follow-up single, out on AnjunaBeats in spring '05.

In 2003 Mike launched his label Noys Music which he formed as an outlet for his collaborations with some of the biggest names in trance as well as new signings from international artists. This formula has earned Noys - described as 'one of the hottest trance labels in the UK' in Mixmag recently - massive support from the world's best DJ's such as Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Johan Gielen, Lange, Nick Sentience, Phil Reynolds, Tom Harding, Trevor Reilly, Les Hemstock, Above & Beyond, PvD, Colin Tevendale, Andy Durrant, Graham Gold, Dave Pearce, The Thrillseekers and many more.

Having had so many years of success producing music for the dancefloor Mike turned his attention onto the decks in 2001, and this is presently reaping its rewards - having played at huge events in Japan, across Europe and around the UK he recently headlined the gigantic Illusion event in Belgium where he played alongside Marco V and Airwave in front of six thousand clubbers. Mike, an immensly talented producer and a wizzard on the decks should show himself to be one of the DJ's to watch out for in '05....

Ja tässä Mike Koglinin haastattelu :


In 1998, you entered into the UK top 20 with “The Silence”
but when did you starting producing and remixing?


After attending an audio engineering college in Germany, I decided to move to London in 1990 and chase my dreams of becoming a producer, remixer and dj. I have producing and remixing as long as I can remember


Only a few dance producers are nominated for the Grammy Awards and you are one of them. How did it feel?

Firstly very suprised, but the nomination was for one of the tracks I produced for Boy George which top 5 in lots of the European Charts

From your large list of productions and remixes, which one still makes you feel proud today?


Pushed On - a Track i did earlier this year - I'm still quite proud of this, as it turned out really well and was played by literally every top Trance dj from Tiesto to Armin!


We know that you’ve got good neighbours in the studio. What can you tell
us about them?


My new studio is in a large building where there are over 20 different studios with a variety great producers / labels and writers. But my next door neighbours are the guys from Above and Beyond who are very good friends of mine.


As head honcho of Noys you must get sent in loads of promos requesting to be on your label - how do you seperate the future hits from the bad bits?


I appreciate any demo or promo that is sent to me and I always take time to listen to all of them. But it seems like there are only very few that have that certain something that makes me sit up and listen.




What tips do you have for budding producers that want to hit the top?


These days it's easy to get a decent sounding track on a very low budget, as you can do most things in your bedroom on a home pc - but you have to put the hours in if you want to reap the rewards!


With the recent release of your 2005 remix of 'The Silence' looming you must be excited - what made you decide to remix an already astounding tune?


Because i got fed up of everyone asking me to play the original at dj gigs - laughs out loud - and because the old version now seems out dated so I wanted to beef it up!


Some have said that 'The Silence' started the Trance craze that swept the nation in '98 - how does this make you feel?


It was definitely one of the first big Trance hits that managed to cross over into the mainstream - it was released around the same time as Goureyella and other big Trance hits - all these tunes helped to build the Trance revolution!


Having collaborated with many Trance legends over the past year and a half on your label Noys - JFK, Simon Paterson, Dogzilla - what can Noys addicts expect collaboration wise in the future?


They can expect a future release with Simon Paterson, and a collaboration with Pulsar! - keep your eyes peeled and your ears to the ground for future collaborations - or check www.noysmusic.com for more info!


You recently played main room at a 5,000 capacity event in Belgium - has this been your most memorable gig to date? - If not what has been?


Yes - that was definitely one of the best dj experiences I have had to date - The club was in a massive indoor arena - and there was a very set up for the dj booth - including a 30 foot waterfall behind the dj through which they projected laser images! It was mental! Other memorable gigs were in Japan - where the crowd is always up for it!




Which producers are really making an impression on you at the moment?


My all time favourite producer at the moment is Sam Sharp! - because the direction he is going in is where I see Trance going in the future - more attitude and very driving - wicked!


What record never leaves you dj box?


Hard beats by Silvester


Top three tunes of the moment?


Sandler - The Theme Song
Code 1 - House Music
Mike Koglin vs JFK - Relentless


Having started your own record label Noys over a year and a half ago - what made you decide to jump into the management side of record labels instead of being on the other side?


Because the way things are going in the music industry it seems to be the sensible thing to do - to take things into your own hands rather than waiting for other labels to sign your tune!


Why did you call your record label Noys?


Originally it was a play on Sony - an anagram - and I originally used the Sony font in the beginning but I recently changed the logo design - because loads of people were saying that I could get sued !! lol


How would you describe your djing style in 3 words?


Uplifting banging trance!!!
