Migs: I love percussive elements, and that’s a great point – I really should explore them even more. Of course, there are no rules or limits to creativity, and sometimes the most effective songs have the most basic chords, but are still captivating.įutureMusic: Percussion seems to work magically with your sound, but you seem to have moved away from it, is there a reason for this? Sometimes a simple bass and chord progression is all you need, and tweaking the sounds to keep things interesting with all the customizing options and plug-ins available. Migs: I always gravitate towards warm moody chords, but its really all about exploring patches and sounds and spontaneously creating based on what your feeling with the freedom to get as complex as you choose. Ever approachable, always humble and perpetually grateful to have a long-term career in business that is constantly changing, Miguel Migs is one of the good guys and it was our pleasure to put the Artist Spotlight on him for July.įutureMusic: Speaking of chord progressions, do you have a favorite that just seems to work for your sound? And for aspiring Deep House producers, what sequences do you feel work best for soulful house? Migs ability to sustain a career in music when many of his contemporaries had to leave the industry to make a living is a testament, not only to his songwriting and production chops, but also to his open heart and chill personality.

After the furor calmed down and labels like Naked Music and OM Recordings faded, Migs was able to forge ahead on his own terms as a remixer, producer, DJ and label owner, launching Salted Music in 2004. He was a huge part of the deep house volcano that erupted on the scene in the late 1990’s/ early 2000’s with a signature melting-pot sound that was big on groove, a softer sound and accessible to everyone. Miguel Migs has carved out what he calls a “boutique career” as an electronic music artist since the mid 90’s after the Dub/Reggae band he was playing in, Zion Sounds, broke up and and he started producing soulful, house music with a handful of gear in his home studio.
