Michael Wenz

Michael Wenz got his start as a DJ in 1999 during the second big wave of electronic music in the United States while attending Madison Media Institute for Recording and Music Technology. During this time Michael began to attend festivals and all night parties around the Madison, Chicago and Milwaukee area. It was the highest peak of electronic music in the United States yet and events drew 5-10 thousand party goers every weekend. Michael had a college roommate that was a hip-hop DJ who happened to have 3 Technics 1200’s. His roommate was trying to settle a debt with Michael and offered one of his Technics Turntables to square up. Michael was then given an old belt driven Technics turntable with a wheel to control the pitch. After about a year of practice and making cassette recordings and buying underground records Michael was hooked. Michael played his first event during the fall of 1999 and has continued to play many large festivals and clubs all over the United States. Over the years Michael has released numerous original recordings on popular record labels as the Drop Bass Network, DRUMASHEENz, Naked Lunch, Noise Complaint, <g class="gr_ gr_18 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" id="18" data-gr-id="18">Analogate</g>, <g class="gr_ gr_19 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" id="19" data-gr-id="19">Aktivists</g>, Audioworx, Chronic Cutz, and Elektrax.
