Mika Olson - On A Field (Incl. Marc Creemers Remix)

http://www.beatport.com/release/on-a-...

Right at the end of 2014, we would like to present another amazing release from Mika Olson entitled "On A Field" with a remix by Marc Creemers.

Mika grew up in a profoundly musical household, his parents being professional musicians who put him into classical piano and jazz guitar lessons from the moment he had enough motor control in his hands to hold a guitar pick. The first record he bought was a now-out-of-print EP of Parliament Funkadelic covering Kraftwerk's "Calculator". Mika's musical style reflects his eclectic influences from high-modernist integral surrealism to jazz-funk fusion to Armenian epic poetry to 80s hair metal all distilled down to pure, crystalline house. In 2008, he went "minimal" after seeing the haircut maestro Richie Hawtin blow away Leicester's Love Parade by playing the same record for 4 hours using a total of 3 laptops (all MacBooks Pros of them). Now that "mnml" is not cool any more, he has decided to return to his house roots. His current sets promise to take you on a journey from inside your head, out past your ears and in through your nose. He has played all over the world including Dubai (at the 9 star Hotel Al-Makatomn), Hong Kong (launching his conceptual "one man headphone disco" project in the departure lounge of Chek Lap Kok Airport), Southampton's "Dog and Feathers" and even in Tenerife (at a corporate gig for Dulux marketing executives). Mika always whips the crowd up into a frenzy. This is regarded as the “bottom line” for promoters who are looking for a DJ to book; the biographical information might help sell the event, but the promoter wants a guarantee that the DJ will create the sort of excitement that drives up drink sales and builds the club's reputation. Mika is certainly the right man to do the job and with his talent he is likely to get very far in this business.

Marc Creemers (1985), born in the southern part of the Netherlands, is the youngest of three brothers in his family. As a child, he learned a lot about music from his two brothers. Thanks to them, his love for electronic music started to grow at a young age. Not only was he fond of 80’s and 90’s house, but also he loved the sounds and tunes produced by synthesizers and drum computers in other genres. During his school career, Marc and his walkman were inseparable. He was always discovering a variety of new music and fresh sounds. His taste ranged from lounge to techno, and everything that could be found in between. Around his 18th birthday, Marc bought his first turntables, which lead to a lot of practicing in his bedroom. He would do that for hours, just to learn the ropes of the trade. Around that time, he started to play his first gigs at regional clubs. His performances did not go unnoticed: the regional gigs were quickly followed by bookings in Belgium and Germany. As he got older, the urge to produce his own sound got bigger. While working with all sorts of genres over the years, he discovered a sound close to his heart: deephouse. Marc has been producing his own records since 2009, with which he produces his own distinguishable sound. His productions are characterised by a lot of smooth sounds and deep bass lines, topped off with techno-influenced details.
