DJ Magic Mike
As a chart-topper since 1988, DJ Magic Mike is far from a new comer, but one who has always managed to remain a bit more underground. The Orlando, Florida native is even noted as “The Best Platinum Artist You Never Heard Of” in Vibe magazine. Beginning in 1989, the initial goal of the DJ and his comrades was to simply sell twenty to thirty thousand copies in hopes of seeing their names on the Billboard charts. So the crew released DJ MAGIC MIKE AND THE ROYAL POSSE which sold in excess of 1 million copies and is certified by RIAA.
A year later, Mike made history again with the release of BASS IS THE NAME OF THE GAME. The LP marked the first time a completely instrumental LP reached gold status. Soon after, in collaboration with the group Vicious Bass, DJ Magic Mike spawned yet another gold hit with the single "It's Automatic." The following albums, AIN'T NO DOUBT ABOUT IT and BASS: THE FINAL FRONTIER both received gold plaques as well by selling half a million copies each. In all, Mike has sold in excess of 5 million records worldwide with 1 Platinum and 6 gold LP’s to his credit.
As the years progressed, the scratch master became a visual legend, as one of the trio of DJ's for Coca-Cola, an impressive coup in television commercials. Mike was so captivating that others soon came knocking. Pioneer Electronics offered Mike a lucrative deal including national advertising in every mainstream magazine. That deal led to a current endorsement deal with Shure Electronics.. Because of his popularity, Mike has played to crowds ranging from 2000-20,000, including his infamous holiday weekend shows at House Of Blues (Downtown Disney) where he sold the venue out consistently for 12 years. His credibility within the music industry has led to more strategic alliances with such music notables as Sir Mix A Lot, Poison Clan, Q Bert and Shortkut from the Skratch Piklz, DJ Craze, MC Shy D, 12 Gauge and countless others. DJ Magic Mike is also credited as being the first artist of bass music achieving gold and platinum status as certified by the RIAA.
Clearly Mike is a fifteen-album veteran and one-man enterprise. "I changed the perception of what it meant to be a DJ. For many years if a person started out as a DJ and later explored other territories such as artistry, it wasn't accepted," says Mike. Determined, he overcame those barriers, and today is internationally respected in a variety of music circles. “I feel I helped change the role of the DJ not only through the southeast but the rest of the world. “You have heavyweights such as DJ Qbert, DJ Craze & Shortkut saying that I am the person who they followed when they started their careers. That’s a big thing to me.”
A few years ago, Mike released his first project in over 12 years titled “Beyond The Magic” and it got rave reviews from fellow artist, DJ’s and fans worldwide. The first single titled “We On” went to # 2 on Beatport’s break beat singles and also cracked the top 100 on iTunes electronic singles. Beyond The Magic topped the Beatport Electronica chart at #1 and also cracked the top 50 on iTunes and Amazon. This year, Mike has had tremendous success with the release of 4 singles all hitting top 5 success with 3 hitting the summit at #1. Drop The Bass 2020,, Plastic Wax w/ Krafty Kuts, and Call Me with OnDaMike. He’s also back in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming new album “Another Dimension”. Once the album is done, keep your eyes and ears for the Magicman to appear soon near you!

Heather is your typical old school raver born of the early 90s Orlando Breakbeat scene. An avid music lover and dancer, she supported the scene for 28 years from the middle of dance circles where you could find her breaking it down with the best of them. It wasn’t til the pandemic hit and Twitch became a thing that her support of her fiancé as his hype mic girl became more than just support. At the suggestion of a friend, the two signed up for a couples raid train and she quickly took her spot on the other side of the booth. Still reluctant to call herself DJ because of the admiration she had for those that kept her dancing for almost 3 decades, she streamed for fun and to share mindfulness and positivity with her growing community. But as with anything she puts her mind to, she wanted to do it justice and create something more than just fun sets. Priding herself on her track selection and musical journeys, Heather has come into her own. She has been humbled and honored to play as part of Static Springs Music Festival (2021/2022), The Move St Pete (2022), Summer Splash (2022/2023), Sacred Sessions (2023), The Vortex (2024), Season 3 (2024) as well as support at local venues such as The Warehouse and John’s Pass Ultra Lounge. When she’s not playing music, she’s a public school teacher or sharing mindfulness and yoga within the community. She believes that learning is a lifelong venture and your only true limit in your life is yourself.
