Mike Bolante's Transmission

Mike Bolante is a DJ/Producer working out of Manila, Philippines. He had his early education in music in classical piano and listening to Michael Jackson, New Order, Informational Society, Depeche Mode, and U2. Simple as it may seem, this performer carries with him an impressive pedigree.

Just like most people in the industry, Mike Bolante started as a DJ, working small parties. He then decided to venture into production working with NYC legend, Ray Roc AKA The Roc Project. He managed his label, ROCit Records, which came out with hits such as Never featuring Tina Arena, Playboy Anthem, Jungle Kisses and many more.

He then went on his own to earn his stripes in one of the cities that is most populated with DJs and is in fact, THE BIRTHPLACE of HOUSE, Chicago. Toiling for 6 years in the scene, he was exposed to HOUSE as Chicago defines it. He worked with local superheroes such as Michael Serafini, Cz Mirani, Miguel Castro, Gene Farris, Andre Harris, Maurice Joshua, Bill Basil, Lego, Bad Boy Bill, JJ Flores, Kalendr, Inphinity, NORDjs, John Curley.

He also discovered his love for Techno and Tech House working for Dino Gardiakos at his world renowned club, Spy Bar. Exposed to sophisticated sounds of Shlomi Aber, Steve Lawler, Loco Dice, Audiofly, Paco Osuna, and many more, his passion for these genres and Chicago house show in his productions, even in commercial remixes.

To date, Mike is no longer the newbie he once was but a veteran that can play almost any genre with his own swagger and identity. His genuine love for music drives him to do music on his own terms. This is what we call PASSION and he has it and will never lose site of it.
