Mike Presley

A true Central Florida original, Mike Presley, came onto the scene in 1991. Mike worked as the manager of Daytona Beach's staple record store Atlantic Sounds. Through this position, local radio station 99.9 FM offered the opportunity to develop a radio show known as "Alternative Frequency". Alternative Frequency started to buzz, and local nightclub Coliseum decided to sponsor the show, offering Mike residency. A decision was made after three years, to leave Atlantic Sounds and dedicate more time to the nightlife and the sounds of the underground. With experience under his belt, and two partners with similar interests, Mike opened his first nightclub - Madhouse. As resident DJ, Mike worked with various artists: Kimball Collins, Chris Fortier, D-Xtreme, Rich Rosario, D-Love, Stylus, and AK1200 to name a few. One year later the group decided to open an additional short lived nightclub known as 3D. Broadening his horizon, Mike began playing to the Orlando crowd as resident at Ultraviolet and winning two DJ contests in the Central Florida area. He later moved to the Midwest, and began playing areas in Chicago, Kansas City, St. Louis and Denver. After a 18 year hiatus, Mike has recently found himself back in the scene DJ'ing events and creating music. The past genres of music played included a mix of trance, progressive house and break beat. Mike's current focus (DJ/artist) is primarily breaks, with new original material being worked on.
