MIKE KOGLIN (Noys music, UK)

Mike Koglin is a producer, remixer and DJ based in London, UK.

Having grown up in Bonn, Germany he relocated to London in 1990 where he was inspired by the early british dance music scene and he soon started to work with dj\'s and producers from the UK underground. Having made a name for himself as a talented producer it wasn\'t long before he began to work with dance legends such as Boy George and Jeremy Healy. Koglin\'s and Healy\'s track \'Stamp\' reached no 11 in the UK charts in summer \'96, and since then many of his productions have entered the top40. His production of \'When Will You Learn\' co-written with Boy George even got nominated for a Grammy for Best Dance Recording in \'97.
But it was in 1998, bitten by the Trance bug that was flooding into the UK that Mike truly found his forte; moving away from the House sounds into the powerful, driven world of Trance. This soon yielded production gems such as \”The Silence\” and \”On My Way\” on Multiply which both hit the UK charts in 1998/99, and with the success of Mikes clean, polished trance sound remix offers soon began to come in. With over 50 remixes in the last 5 years, Mike has remixed not only dance classics such as Lustral \”Everytime\”; DreamCatcher \'\'I Don\'t Wanna Loose My Way\'\'; and Brainchild \”Symmetry C\”; but also such big tunes as \'\'Fine Day\'\' (Kirsty Hawkshaw from Opus 3) or Dido\'s \”All You Want \”

Besides releasing records under his own name he has worked under many different guises such as \'Clubzone\', \'The Argonauts\' (with DJ Dave Ralph), \'Planet K\', \'Divide&Rule\', or most recently \'KoTa\' and \'State One\'.
In 2002 Mike forged an ongoing working relationship with Trance master Darren Tate (of Jurgen Vries and Angelic fame) which recently brought us Tate vs Koglin - \'\'Now Is The Time\'\' and \'KoTa - \'Waiting\', and with the Dirt Devils he\'s formed the \'Skoob\' project. Another collaboration to look out for this summer is his work with U.T.O, a Trance workout of truly anthemic proportions...

This year is the year Mike has chosen to launch two massive projects - one under the name of \”State One\” out as a major release on Incentive in august. The first State One single \'\'Forever And A Day\'\' is already being caned by the likes of Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten and Graham Gold. Cleverly utlising a seriously well known but so far untouched sample this tune looks set to be one of the summer anthems of 2003..
His other project is the launch of his label NOYS MUSIC. Designed as an outlet for new tunes on the harder side of Trance this label - as the name suggests - is here to make some serious noise in both the world of Hard Dance and Trance. On the darker, harder side the first release on NOYS is a collaboration with japanese dance floor master Energy Dai, entitled \”Loaded\”. Championed by the likes of Nick Sentience, Tom Harding and Phil Reynolds this Hard Trancer was awarded \'sureplayer of the month\' in DJ Magazine (5 stars).

Having had so many years of success producing gems of Trance for the dancefloor Mike has turned his attention onto the decks, and this is presently reaping its rewards - internationally having played at huge events in Japan three times in the last year, in Germany and around the UK. Mike, an immensly talented producer and a wizzard on the decks should show himself to be one of the ones to watch as a DJ in the next year.
