Michael de Kooker
Born on the 8th of June in 1985, Michael de Kooker discovered his passion for music at an early age. Listening to all kinds of music, he quickly found dance music the most interesting genre. At the age of 12 he started to play keyboards and a couple of years later Michael started to create his owns tracks using different kinds of software. Perfecting his production skills, in 2005 and 2006 his tracks became better and better.
In 2007 finally happened what Michael had been waiting for: his track ‘Body Combat - a co-production with DJ Jerom - was signed to Cloud 9 Dance. His first solo release ‘The Twist’ was released on Combined Forces and was picked up by DJ's like Tiesto and Paul van Dyk. After a well-received remix of the classic ‘Sunflower’ by Vincent de Moor, 2008 became an amazing year for Michael when his remix of Veracocha’s ‘Carte Blanche’ reached the Dutch charts and became one of the hottest dance tracks around!
Trying to produce many different styles with aliases like M.W.T. and Mr. Monsieur, Michael is able to show his talent in many different ways. As a result several of Michael’s tracks are currently played by many DJ’s from all over the world. With productions and remixes being released on labels like Deal, Dedicated and Kompressor, Michael de Kooker can be considered as a multi-talented musician with serious potential.
Michael’s new E.P. has just been released on the famous imprint Pilot 6. You’ll find the deliciously diverse dish of ‘My Little Music Box’ and ‘Dear Daisy’ exclusively on Beatport.com! Growling its way up to unravel a big-bass anthem with a hauntingly beautiful and eerie break, is ‘My Little Music Box’. Don’t let its name fool you, this is nothing less than big, peak-time stuff! Inspired by a real carillon à musique, Michael keeps the windup key in ‘My Little Music Box’ turning and turning, to break out into an absolute floor destroyer. Supported by Gareth Emery, Ashley Wallbridge, Above & Beyond, Andy Moor, tyDi, Roger Shah, Scot Project & Marcus Schössow, you know this is one release you can’t miss! On the flipside, ‘Dear Daisy’ sooths with a delicate mix of melody-infused tech-house and sensual, electro-tingled prog. ‘Dear Daisy’ is supported by Mr. Sam, Timmy & Tommy, M.I.K.E., Blake Jarrell, Dave Dresden and many more
