Biography:- Mike Greig AKA Euphony:- Since being born and raised in Scotland, Mike’s first introduction to the world of music was Scottish traditional Celtic music. Playing the accordion all over the country, winning competitions and recording his first record by the age of 9. The influences of late 60s and 70s and that of 80s metal were the next genre to be digested resulting in every teenager’s dream, the electric guitar. Thankfully this was short lived! Next up Jean Michelle Jare, Kraftwerk and the synthesizer, now at last Mike felt grounded. The sounds created by the forefathers of electronic music were such an influence to Mike that he went on to cover Rendezvous which was released on Clubscene records in 1996. In 1992 armed with an Atari ST, Steinberg pro24 (Cubase 5 great, great, great, great grandfather), Roland U20 and Liam Howlett's favourite the Roland W30 the early Euphony sound was born. During this time the rave scene in Scotland was growing and a new sound was emerging, the sound of Hardcore. Acts like Njoi, Q-tex, Prodigy, SL2, and Dream Frequency were bringing about a revolution in the dance scene which influenced Mike to form a PA, Euphony. Soon after the first tunes were hammered out on the old Atari a record contract presented itself with Clubscene records home for likes of Ultra-Sonic and Ultimate Buzz. The Clubscene years brought many live performances all over N.England, Ireland and Scotland. Also the winning of the Grolsh Dance music awards for best new act 1996/7. Now with a passion for music technology Mike decided to change course by ditching his degree in Biotechnology and pursuing one in Audio Engineering after which he started his own commercial recording studio, ESL recordings. The studio business was a great experience for Mike, allowing him to expand on his creativity by recording various bands and having the pleasure to work with Mark Tinley (producer brother of 89/90s electronic genius Adamski, Programmer for Duran). The next signing was to UK Dance the label creation of DJs Paul Force and Darren Styles, home of Heart of Gold, Pretty Green eyes to name a few. Dancing in the Rain and Scott Browns remix Space Invader were the gems to be released on UK Dance. Both of which finding their way to Bonkers 3 & 6. In 2001 Mike joined forces with DJ Al Storm who restored Mike’s faith in Hardcore.
