 	?Originally starting out as a jazz funk dj in late eighties London, Mike McKenna has gone on to become one of the top djs in Japan , famed for his sound system shattering sets.?Starting off in North London playing alongside the likes of Giles Peterson and Russ Dewsbury, a chance move to Tokyo 13 years ago coincided with his discovery of house - since then he hasnt looked back. He is now resident at world-reknowned Tokyo clubs like Womb and Air, and is a regular guest at Ageha, Yellow, Warehouse and Velfarre. He has also graced the decks in other Japanese cities such as Niigata, Nagano, Hiroshima, Himeji, Sendai, Sapporo, Kobe and Osaka. Guest dj radio apearances include Ministry of Sound, 4 elements ( slovakia ), Salus Fm ( tokyo ), Shibuya Fm and InterFm. On internet radio stations he has a new mix broadcast every month and unknown to most people was one of the founders of Samurai Fm.

?He has dj'ed with some of the biggest names on the global scene, including Fat Boy Slim, John Digweed, Phil Thompson, Tim Deluxe, Pqm ,Satoshi Tomiie, Judge Jules, Eddie Halliwell, Paco and Frederick, Towa Tei, Mike Monday, Desyn Marcello, Plump Djs, Elite Force, Hyper, Chris Carter, PFN, Adam Freeland, James Lavelle, Shinichi Osawa, Dave Seaman, Sucker Djs, Caged Baby, Mutiny, Andrew Friendly, Guy Ornadel, Koma and Bones, Meat Katie, Will Saul, Hernan Canteneo, Soul of Man, Santos, Phil K, Plastic Fantastic Machine, Moussa Clarke, Nick Warren and Tiefschwartz to name a few. He is a vj too, using a Korg Kaptivator, making sure that the visuals match his music perfectly when he is dj`ing.
His bass-driven and dancefloor oriented mix of tech-house, funky house and breaks saw him voted number 1 dj in japan in 2004, 2005 and again in 2006 in the club magazine Loud and saw his dj network expand overseas with events in Hong Kong, Singapore,Korea, Beijing ,Taiwan, Slovakia, Italy and the Uk.
He believes that dj`ing is only half the story and hence is a prolific producer with an album released on Phil Thompson's label ' Digital Fonik 'in 2005, and an ep on Buena Onda in june 2006 that reached number 26 in the American Dance Pool Charts and countless remixes including Fat Boy Slim, Philter, M. Nicolai ( 'bushes' ) Rod Stewart, Chara, Andrea Doria, Mashtronic, Karl Sav, Blendbrank, Disciples of Sound, Ingo Vogelman, Damon G, Andrew K, Signal Drivers, War, Space Cowboy, Black Eyed Peas and Eddie Lalliq on labels like Great Stuff Recordings, Erase, Benchmarc, 852, L2 and Buena Onda, supported and played extensively by such djs as Anthony Pappa, Fergie, Desyn Marcello, The Crystal Method, Ricky Stone and Tom Real.
With on average 2 remixes a month, 2 radio mixes and a constant influx of upfront promo tracks, he constantly strives to move forward and refuses to be pidgeon-holed by genres, alllowing him to really play to the crowd.
