Dj Midas
Coming from the UK's forefront of musical innovation: Manchester, home to major innovators on the electronic music front, such as New Order, 808 State, Lamb, The Chemical Brothers and The Future Sound of London, but also home to commercial success Take That and succesful alternative bands Oasis, The Verve, The Smiths and Joy Division; DJ Midas was bound to be influenced by his hometown.
His musical career started when he got his first decks in 1996. Influenced by classic bands like Pink Floyd and Bob Marley and then the introduction to the innovative sounds of names like Luna-C, Prodigy and 808 State, the tone was set for his musical future.
With the rise of the electronic Rave and Hardcore music, his interest grew and determined his future.
Naming Kevin Energy and Sharkey as his major influences, DJ Midas now hosts regular shows on KraftyRadio, is affiliated as a promoter to the Raw Elements label as well as regular guest mixes on amongst others Digitally Imported, exploring the boundries of the UK Hardcore scene, and more recently for adopting and promoting his love for the Freeform sound. DJ Midas has also organised the online radio event for Munted, as their 2011 party was cancelled last minute, hosting a multitude of the big names in the genre, such as A.B., Douglas, Endemic, Nick 235 and Substanced, aside from supporting newcomers Dyzphazia and Lambo and personally setting the tone by opening with the night, to critical aclaim.
