Melbourne's OG shuffler, flow controller, dance floor dictator...Viva La Mika!

Cut my teeth in the art of shuffler technique.
Earned my stripes through dance floor execution.
Gained wisdom and knowledge through mastering flow.

Delving into the deep, dark depths of house music.
Immersing in the abrasive often overwhelming abyss of techno.
Bass House. Drum & Bass, Neurofunk, Bassline, Garage, Jungle, Trap, Dubstep. Electro/Hard Electro House. Future Bass. Underground.

 Viva La Mika is an Australian‐based DJ/producer. Coming from the Melbourne shuffling scene, he understands the flow of music like no other. Both deep tech house and minimal techno represent the backbone of his style, owing to his passion for delving deep into the dark depths of house music. He thrives on the spirit of the dance floor, synthesizing the crowd’s energy and his own into an ardent whirlwind of flow and raw emotion.
Growing up with an everlasting affinity for music, and being a part of the skate scene, his youth was all about grunge and metal. In 2001, his first exposure to dance music awakened an insatiable longing for electronic music in him, marking the beginning of a musical chain reaction that would change his life forever.
Influences drawn from a divergent spectrum of music and its performance colored in the beginnings of his unique style, starting with the Melbourne trance and shuffle scenes. The evolving nature of the bass lines in these scenes compelled him to explore and pursue other styles such as hardstyle and even hip‐hop.
His odyssey through the landscape of music led him to form his signature sound, which is the heart of one of his well‐received podcasts, Rowdy Ruckus. Which like everything evolved from dirty bass house to dark heavy DNB, thus Fusion was born. Contrasting this, his other podcast, Off The Deep End firmly represents the more delicate and sensitive facets of his music. Alongside these weekly podcasts, he has also made guest mixes for the likes of Heavens Gate Deep and EDM Assassins On Stage.
