Micky Slim is a Birmingham-bred house music DJ and producer associated with electro, house, electronic and electronica. He develops his style through club and after-hours sets in the Midlands, and his work gains attention on BBC Radio 1.

Career

He has been involved with house music for more than ten years, but his career gathers pace in the mid-2000s. After playing bars and clubs around the Midlands, he rents the Canal Club in Wolverhampton in April 2005 to hold a Tsunami fundraising night. The event proves successful and leads to repeat bookings at the venue.

Those bookings place him on the same bills as Yousef, Jose Nunez, Richard F and Tom Neville. At the same time, he becomes active on the Birmingham after-hours scene, which helps him refine his sound and shape his sets.

Recognition

His productions achieve regular play on BBC Radio 1, and he gains international exposure through a residency that gives him wider reach beyond the UK.
