Migs began his music career at 18 years old, as a lead guitarist and songwriter for a Santa Cruz local band called Zion Sounds. The band split up in the mid-1990s, however Zion Sounds’ African and Jamaican style is said to have been a major influence in Migs’ personal career. After the band dissolved, Miguel Migs went on to explore electronic music production.

Miguel has produced over 100 remixes to date, including remixes for a number of mainstream artists. Such artists include Britney Spears, Macy Gray and Lionel Richie. Migs has been associated with a variety of record labels, most notably Naked Music Recordings.

Miguel co-founded the deep house record label Transport Recordings, along with fellow DJ MFR and Naked Music label director Bruno Ybarra. Migs was credited for his soul-driven vibes and hailed as one of the pioneers of the nascent house and chill-out revival scene alongside Dimitri from Paris and Bob Sinclar as a result of his early foray into Deep House in the late 1990s and early 2000s, releasing several highly sought after singles and remixes under the Petalpusher pseudonym. In 2005 he founded Salted Music, an independent record label.

In early 2008, Migs’ Those Things won in The 7th Annual Independent Music Awards for Best Dance/Electronica Album

When Migs hit the house scene in the late nineties, DJs and fans took notice. After more than a hundred productions on imprints like NRK, OM and Naked Music, he has yet to slow down. Migs tracks act as dance-floor catalysts, but his prowess extends beyond the booth. He also tours with his live band, Petalpusher, delivering a signature style of vocal and dub house laden with strings, brass and funky basslines. The Get Salted tour hits Griffin Lounge this week, allowing Migs to promote his latest release, “Get Salted Volume 2.” These days, he’s dropping everything from disco and soul to jazz and tech house, so expect a wide range of exclusive singles and remixes.
