As one of the most charismatic individuals to smash his way onto the house music scene in recent years, Micky Slim is the Birmingham-bred bad boy that has arrived and is ready to take over. With an outstanding production portfolio that has had a phenomenal success rate of being heard on BBC Radio1, an international residency that gives Micky global exposure, and a few helping hands (more later), its clear that Micky is not just one of the UKs finest up-and-coming talents, he is getting recognition the world over.
The wheels however properly turned when Mickys quickly growing fan base came to the attention of Godskitchen promoter Mark Gillespie. Gillespie was quick to install Micky as Godskitchen Electric resident, a very special moment for Micky especially considering he had been a regular at the club from its beginning at the Sanctuary and had attended every one of Godskitchens colossal Global Gathering festivals. Mickys Gods residency has seen him play regularly to a rapturous home crowd alongside the likes of Erick Morillo, Chris Lake, Richard Dinsdale, James Zabiela and Fergie, as well as debut at Global. Almost 50,000 people converged on the festival at Long Manston Airfield near Stratford Upon Avon with Micky playing in the same arena as Deep Dish, Steve Lawler and Tiesto. And with James Zabiela stuck in traffic, the BBC gave Micky the opportunity of a lifetime by recording his set for broadcast on 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 is without doubt the finest moment in Mickys career to date. Such exposure has resulted in major interest from throughout the UK and abroad -- deserved credit for such a memorable performance.
