The honour and respect Mikey’s gained over the decades has lead him to DJing and performing at countless shows ranging from the likes Lee Scratch Perry, Bunny Wailer, David Rodigan, Maxi Priest, Marcia Griffiths, Gregory Isaacs, Julian Marley, Yellowman, Dillinger, etc, to Hip Hop acts Big Daddy Kane, EPMD, Biz Markie, Slum Village, Ali Shaheed Mohammed (ATCQ), Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Roots Manuva, Gangstarr, Ultra Magnetic MC’s, etc, funk groups like Roy Ayers, Breakestra, Brand New Heavies, James Taylor Quartet, to D&B/Junglist legends Nicky Blackmarket, Aries, DJ Hype, etc, and playing many club nights and venues such as Fabric (London), Eat Your Greens (Liverpool), Stone Love (Newcastle), No-one’s Driving (Lancaster), Scratch (Edinburgh & London), Custard Factory (Birmingham), Hit & Run, FishFry, Dub & Bass, D*Percussion (Manchester), Club Bluu & Turkish Delight (Oslo, Norway) & Club Asylum (Jamaica) to name but a few. Same goes for Festivals such as Big Chill, Latitude, WickerMan, BoomTown, SolFest, BeatHerder, One Love, Boom Bap, Kendal Calling, etc – the list goes on and on. Amongst other monikers, he’s also earned the title of 'The Bionic Sound Killer', not only for his skills as a selector/operator in his sound system days, but also due to many soundclash victories he’s had over the years.
People’s biggest mistake is that they try and pigeonhole Mikey as just a Reggae DJ – and they couldn’t be sooo mistaken if they tried. Mikey simply loves spinning great records to the masses, so whether he plays Reggae, Soul, Funk, Hip Hop, Boogie, Disco, Acid House, Rave, Jungle, D&B, Jazz, even Pop music, one thing is for sure - when rocking a club from behind the turntables, or simply just holding the mic, there’s no doubt Mikey D.O.N is THE force to be reckoned with!!
