Mike Steele aka Steeletoeboots originally from the Caribbean island of St Thomas, moved to Chicago in the summer of 1994 and was immediately drawn to the thriving House music scene. Working at the legendary Gramaphone Records music shop for over three years, he received an invaluable education on the past, present and potential future sound of House music. It also provided the opportunity for him to experiment and fine tune his craft of mixing and EQing, as well as learn some of the skills from the worlds most talented DJs and producers. This education has since made it possible for Mike to personally contribute to the ever-growing global House movement.

He has played at all the premier clubs in Chicago including: Shelter, Metro/Smart Bar, Red Dog, Karma, Sound Bar and Spy Bar as well as over 3 dozen other nightspots throughout the windy city. When not playing at these venues, Mike's talents have allowed him the opportunity to play records in Western Europe, the Caribbean, Canada and many cities throughout the United States. He has had the opportunity to open for or play alongside Derrick Carter, Mark Farina, DJ Heather, Green Velvet, David Morales, Ian Pooley and many more...

Mike has released material on his own Steeletoeboots and Lacquer Crackers Music imprints. He has also had the opportunity to work closely with Berlin based producer Jesse Rose and the UK's producer Atlantic Fusion on the More Than One LP. Released on Front Room Recordings. UK DJ Yousef has also used Mike's Big Johnson's track on his 2005 mix cd for International DJ magazines Sessions series vol.1.

Jackin-Chicago flavored House, and dubby-funky House with a twist of Disco are just a few ways to describe Mike Steele's unique sound. His sound is constantly evolving, making each of his sets special. Mike's seamless mixing style motivates a room to a point where you think you've had enough, but then all of a sudden... there's more! Mike Steele's music is a relentless Energizer; it keeps going & going & going.



Have fun with your music-

Mike
