Amsterdam Techno Sessions is a weekly Techno event, held every Thursday, in Amsterdam. Every week local and international artists are invited to showcase their work and personal interpretation of Techno. For this Saturday, 01st of April 2023, we are delighted to announce the Dutch Techno master, Mike Storm, performing LIVE at our Amsterdam Techno Sessions special event! Followed by Marco Ramos, D.Noyse. Join us at John Doe from 23:00 until 07:00. Mike Storm is coming from the underground scene of the 072 area (Alkmaar) in the The Netherlands. As a teenager, he started at home DJ-ing & producing, followed by performances as a local DJ in the late 90s. Short hereafter he switched from turntables to equipment and performed live at a dozen local parties. While the underground scene was deeply involved in Electro and Techno music, Mike learned from established DJs and producers how to work with analogue equipment. Until this day, he still produces his tracks without any daw. No edits or total recall, just straightforward recordings directly from machines only. Mike Storm is mainly inspired by Sci-Fi sound. The thinking process of his sound is created affecting emotions and leading to action. Sometimes there are actions we can’t control and therefore each creation is a unique process. Thoughts are created and disappear like stars and planets. Mike Storm translates these thoughts and emotions into music sequences and it influences the mental state. Building sequences and sound development become a natural process. So his live performance is one of a kind On stage he’s going deeper into the process of creating the moment. His live sets are typically a journey through space in search of the unknown. Following beats into deep minimal sequences. Seeing himself performing several times at the famous Tresor club in Berlin and Awakenings Gashouder in Holland to name a few. This past decade Mike Storm sees his music being appreciated and releasing his work on the labels of Jeff Mills (“Mike is capitalizing his career as a premier artist in the category of Science Fiction Techno”), Oscar Mulero, Ben Sims, Steve Bicknell and DVS1 and a dozen other established labels and other well-known names on the scene. A result is a number of Ep’s, Va’s, and albums getting appreciated throughout the global Techno scene.
