The History
Mickey has been Dj'ing since 1994, when a friend and I started a small mobile disco doing school socials and school holiday gigs at our local civic centre, packing the hall on some nights with 700 kids. A year later, I got my first residency at a club called Power House, playing grunge, alternative and rock. Right after school i moved to Witbank where I was resident at Equinox and another club (sorry, forgot the name) and since my influence was the like of Prodigy, Dj Nelson and Dj Adrian, I started getting the speed garage scene for a few years. 2 years down the line I moved back to George and got a residency at a local hotspot called Carousel.
Since they catered for a wide age group, I soon had to learn how to play various genres from 70's and 80's to lollipop sing along music. We hosted many events, bands and dj's @ Carousel such as, modeling shows, Just Jinger, Boo, Springbok Nude Girls, Nelson, Surge, Dizzy, Speedy and MANY other top names in the industry. Getting exposed to this variety of entertainment did my career and experience the world of good. After 2 years at Carousel, I parted to become a freelance Dj as I saw the gap in making myself available to other gigs around the area that can boost my experience and get my name out there. I started playing at various other clubs such as Station in Mossel Bay, Al's in Knysna, Rock Art in Oudtshoorn and soon my details ended up with organizers and brand reps that started booking me for more and more events. This started landing me gigs at the annual KKnK in Oudtshoorn, the Knysna Oyster Festival and Matric Rage in Plett. This turned into recurring bookings for me over a period of a few years.
I was asked to stand in for a Dj randomly one Tue...
