THE JOYSTICK JUNKIES

Appearing on the legendary GZG Familie weekend in the summer of 2005, Mike is known for his six-hour marathon DJ sets and is part of the Gasten Zonder Grenzen DJ collective, widely known for their wild (after) parties in Amsterdam.

As a partner of underground heroes like Ille Bitch and De Man Zonder Schaduw, he has found his own space in the Dutch scene. He now has a residency for Club Stalker and GZG, international gigs and Mike also plays weekly on global radio station, www.livesets.com.

It was Christmas 2003 when Mike & Alexander finally met up, even though they had lived in the same street! Mike came over to Alexander's warehouse and they played arcade games for 15 days solid. Amazingly they survived the ordeal and that's when the idea started to make music using the old gaming machines.. They hooked the machines to their computers, the computers to the net., and bam another addiction was born - making music with old game consoles.

They've now teamed up with British fashion label Joystick Junkies who saw the potential for working together with a credible, hard working DJ team to co-promote each other's work and develop some unique projects. Under the name The Joystick Junkies they DJ a fusion of uplifting House & Techno blended with subtle video game influences which also inspire Joystick Junkies fashion collections.

The Joystick Junkies. Built for the future. Enjoy forever!
