Mike Giannini
Born on the East Coast and raised in Los Angeles, Mike Giannini has been carefully developing his soulful, tribal tech house signature since he was a teenager, eventually becoming entrenched in the Los Angeles underground.
Los Angeles' electronic music culture was especially good to Mike, but in the early 90's he parted from LA to California's Central Coast to escape the smog. His days were spent working out of a dusty mom-and-pop record store called Boo Boo Records, ordering every 12" that he could get his hands on. "I don't think I ever walked home with a paycheck," Mike chuckles. "If it was good, it was comin' home with me..." Quickly, Mike began playing a pivotal role in shaping the sounds and culture of the Central Coast. He began promoting top tracks on local radio stations and playing underground parties. Boo Boo's became the one-stop-shop for DJ's. "To tell the truth," Mike says, "It started with me needing some new needles. Next thing I know, I'm unpacking Technics and boxes of DJ bags, clothing, mixers...you name it..."
You would expect that Mike's sound was influenced by pioneering DJs that he was exposed to throughout the late 80's and early 90's, but that wasn't the case. His true sound was being tuned not from DJs, nor from his buying experience at Boo Boo's, but from his coworkers. "There were long-timers at Boo Boo's who exposed me to music sounds and samples that I had never heard before: Latin acoustics, Salsa, Funk, Spoken Word, Soul, Gospel, Jazz...Without a doubt they changed the way I look at music..." But Mike has always stayed true to his roots, maintaining his distinctive tribal tech recipe by blending funky, tribal, progressive and tech house styles.
