Micky Slim is the Birmingham bred bay boy that has been at the forefront of the filthy House scene for the last 7 years.
Micky’s residency at Judgement Sundays in Ibiza and being the owner of Bombsquad records are just the tip of the Ice Berg. He is one of the most sort after dj’s and producers in the world and for good reason! His unique brand of bass heavy dirty acid house has earned him the respect and admiration of everybody involved in the house scene.His productions have seen numerous plays on radio 1 and have been played by the likes of Judge Jules and Pete Tong to name a few. With releases on labels such as Cr2 and most recently a track due out on Laidback Luke’s label nothing looks to small for Micky Slim!
Micky has torn apart clubs from Russia to Australia and everywhere in between and is playing the Global Gathering Main stage this year!!
Micky Slim first smashed his way onto the scene in 2006 when he earned his residency at Birmingham based clubnight Godskitchen where he could be seen playing regularly to a rapturous home crowd alongside the likes of Erick Morillo, Chris Lake, Richard Dinsdale, James Zabiela and Fergie. This residency secured him his debut appearance at Globlal Gathering which would see him have the oppurtuniy of a life time. With James Zabiela stuck in traffic the BBC asked Micky if they could record his set live to broadcast for the essential mix, Micky duly responded by delivering 45 minutes full of filthy acid, wonky electro and twisted tech house to a worldwide audience. This truly was the start of Micky’s world domination. As if 2006 wasn’t a big enough year for him he set up his label Bombsqaud which was dedicated to releasing dirty house and which has seen releases from some of the hottest producers around. Since then Micky has gone from strength to strength playing the world over with residencies at Judgement Sundays in Ibiza, a set at Global Gathering each year and releases one some of the biggest labels around!!
Micky slim has influenced a whole generation of producers! Without his sound there wouldn’t be producers like Twocker, Stupid Fresh, Heavy Feet, Calvertron, Will bailey etc. All of which Micky has given his full support to and most of which have released tracks on his label. Micky was one of the first producers to use massive bass sounds with glitchy chopped up vocals and synth stabs. In my opinon he was one of the pioneers of the fidget house movement and certainly his label Bombsquad can be credited with having released the majority of the fidget House classics. While the fidget sound may have lost favour Micky hasn’t and he continues to dominate the club scene and inspire a new generation of prodcuers.
Micky created a new sound that made him stand apart from everyone else and that is why in my opinon he is one of the best producer in the world.
