A vehicle destroyed, a pizza delivery job terminated. EDM dilettantism and general disillusionment soaring at a fever pitch. For Mikey Lee, early 2008 resembled a topography of dark and untimely events, and the assemblage of lush, listless bedroom tunes was the most powerful antidote. A point of return was realized in the eponymous track “Heath Ledger”. This attracted the attention of local electronic music fixture Basstown–and ultimately lead to a debut performance– supporting Kompakt’s techno-maestro The Field. Mikey’s DJ residences around Boston, just about an hour east of his hometown of Worcester, a dense cloud of blog-followers, and the self-released EP cassette “747” aggregated in a nomination for the Best Local Electronic/Dance Act of 2009, shows with Lymbyc System, Telefon Tel Aviv, Small Black, and many more. He has been a resident DJ at Make It New since 2012 and there he has played with many many of modern musics leading lights.
