As we lead into fall, we are bringing you a slice of our dear friend Mike Ravelli which we’ve been road testing and tuning for more than a year.
Mike Ravelli is a master of moving crowds & driving them wild in clubs and undergrounds throughout Amsterdam & China. Grooving in the booth for almost 20 years, his enthusiasm speaks to his commitment that his music should build up a sweat.

Mike Ravelli’s latest original mixes does so literally from the first beat; music and dancer, fall immediately into a symbiotic relationship from moment one. Driving sounds through hardware and software, his music is familiar and fresh, comforting and confronting all at the same time and a vibe that seems to resonate on dance floors worldwide. And each track seemingly lives in its own environment, inspired by a place where Mike has been before.

When listening to Nest you can imagine a conventional Amsterdam club, resident DJ grooving to the track and a dance floor of old friends. Britta Arnold brings a grittier powerful quality demanding the expenditure of a new energy from the dancefloor.

Sliggy reaches up from a Berlin underground where friends meet strangers who will never be strangers again. The Pysh Remix takes the sound travelling and invites all to come with him; a lyrical journey with Sliggy’s original mix as the vehicle.

Prop fills an outdoor festival from the stage, across the crowd and to the sky with big arps and anthemic sounds that meander into space. This calls out to the stars picking up dancers along the way as we have seen all over the globe when bringing the Prop.
