Mickey Nightrain - Winter Music Conference - Miami US - Mar 2007

Biography of Mickey Nightrain

Known to many as Maximus for his productions on the legendary Frankie Bones labels, Mickey Nightrain has dedicated the last decade to pushing the boundaries of electronic dance music. A dj, producer and promoter, Petza got his start at the fabled after-hours Club 1722 in his birthplace of Baltimore, MD after attending some of the historical events in the city such as Buzz, Fever and Ultraworld. In 2001 he moved to Nashville, TN and quickly became the most requested dj and a successful promoter of mid-size events while holding residencies at Excess/Orbit, Red Iguana, Blu and more. Now a resident of Naples, FL, Petza holds a weekly Saturday night at Zen and regularly plays across the country. His sound can be described as uplifting funky electro house and breaks influenced by the old school sounds of the 80's and 90's while still pushing the envelope with new sounds of both today and the future.

In May of 2006 Nightrain released The Path EP which is a testament to his unique production abilities combining electro, techno and nu-skool breaks. Since then his label Nightrain Music has released over a dozen tracks including the wildly popular 'Revolver' and 'Work It.' 2007 is shaping up to be a great year for Nightrain as he will continue to dj across the US and abroad as well while still releasing quality original productions. Rain Records, a sub-label of Nightrain Music will see its first releases delving into the deeper, more intelligent breakbeat sounds so keep your eye on this veteran dj and up and coming producer.
