Be it for a never-ending string of his chart-topping productions and remixes, his killer DJ-sets from Ultra Europe to Ministry of Sound and Carl Cox’s Revolution at Space Ibiza, Beatport results (he’s one of Beatport Top 100 best-selling artists of all time, previously featured in “The Ones To Watch” and “Hottest Tech-House Artists”) or his warm personality, Mike Vale does indeed stand out from the myriad of generic- sounding peers. While his sound is hard to pigeonhole, Mike can’t hide the fact he comes from the environment that has championed rougher, vanguard, alternative, techy sound, although British and American house culture predominantly influenced his taste in music, this blend best reflected in some of Mike’s recent club bangers and charts climbers. Just in time for summer season Mike scored yet another Beatport House #1 and #2 best selling house track of the year on Beatport with his master take on Danny Denaglia ft. Celeda’s classic track ‘Music Is The Answer’ on Glasgow Underground (canned heavily at Coachella and EDC Las Vegas and supported by Fisher, Chris Lake, Claptone, Fatboy Slim, Hot Since 82, BBC Radio 1). "Just A Friend" is the follow up. For the idea, Mike samples the classic Angie Stone song "I Wish I Didn't Miss You" for the break and reworks its hooks over a heavyweight rhythmic groove. A proper banger with a party break with which Mike scored yet another Beatport Tech House Top 10.
