Mic Meimaroglou's passion for electronic music began at a young age, sparked by his fascination with the synthesizer's analog sound. As he delved deeper into the art of music production, he discovered that synthesizing and mixing sounds provided him with a creative outlet for self-expression.

As a resident DJ in small bars, Michael's experimentation with various music genres expanded his knowledge and technique in mixing. In 2010, he released his first music demo under the alias "Aithale," which showcased his unique blend of electronica and techno elements.

In 2013 and 2014, Michael curated the electronic music program for the "Beach Street Festival," featuring both Greek and international artists. These experiences culminated in a milestone year for Michael in 2014, as he released his first music on 808 Recordings, Ntrop Recordings, and joined the music roster of Affect Recordings Munich. He also released on DMR Digital Italy.

In 2017, Michael launched USM Recordings with the goal of supporting the Greek contemporary electronic music scene. His music releases have been featured on various Greek and international media platforms, including BeatSelector, 5 Magazine, Electronic Groove, The Letter, mic.gr, and beater.gr.

In 2023, Michael co-founded ΣΥΝTHESIS, an electronic music artist collective platform based in Lesvos island, to inspire and expand electronic music around the island and beyond through events, workshops, conferences and screenings.

Michael's DJ performances are characterized by ambient and hypnotic techno patterns, with the flow of his sets influenced strongly by the crowd's mood and the sound elements that he follows.

mul/ANNA is a young DJ from the Hague, but she’s already (un)officially dubbed as the best ghetto house DJ of The Netherlands. Her urge to make people dance is fueled by an insatiable appetite for dirty ghetto house and lots of groovy beats from a wide range of genres such as booty house, electro and old school techno.

It’s important to her that people feel safe and fully can be themselves on the dance floor, that’s why she started her own mix and event series BUMBU. Inspired by her Indonesian heritage, BUMBU is her vehicle and platform where she invites likeminded friends and peers such as Mahabe, Jelly, KI/IP and Kimmah. In her driving DJ sets mul/ANNA always channels that energy that will ultimately make your booty shake.

mul/ANNA has shared the bill with DJ mell G, Viikatory, I-F, DJ Assault and more at favourite places like PIP, POING, VAULT SESSIONS, THE CRAVE and SKATECAFE.
