A veteran of the New England dance scene Mike Manson has been playing in New England for nearly 15 years. Starting out in the rave scene in early 1996 and continuing to become one of the residents of the legendary Municipal Cafe. Mike was a resident for 6 years playing every Friday night and his selection of music had refined into a style all his own. Many opportunities arose from this residence and teaming up with Spiritual Emporium, Muck Crew, and Columns of Knowledge as a promoter and a DJ earlier on helped his DJ career move forward.

Once established as a professional DJ in New England his adventure into the club scene began. Playing at night clubs and commercial events such as Sunset Session by Room 960, The Ware House, Koji Yakatori, Bocca Rossa, Sullys Pub, Club Therapy, and Room 960.

A short residence with Koji in Downtown Hartford in late 2009 hosting an event called “ I <3 Koji “ and playing top dance tracks every Friday Night fired up his passion for dance music once again. Then with a residence at Bocca Rossa also in Downtown Hartford hosting an event called “ Go Deep “ and " Ibiza Lounge " and playing every Friday and Saturday Night, Bocca Rossa has allowed Mike to really refine his sound and push Tech House and Deep House in Hartford.
