Mike Pham Drops Tech-House EP ‘DJ Like This One' on DancIN'
Feb 09, 2025
Cairo-based producer and DJ Mike Pham debuts a groove-heavy tech-house EP 'DJ Like This One' on Gawdat's MENA dance label, DancIN'.
Known for his infectious blend of colourful house and minimal sounds, Mike has been keeping Cairo's top dancefloors on its toes over the past six years, sharing decks with prominent international artists like Marco Carola, Alex Wann, Stephan Bodzin and Sama' Abdulhadi.
The two-track record marks a new chapter in Mike's musical journey, where he dabbles into the vibrant spectrum of tech-house sounds. The titular track is a refreshing dancefloor-ready mix of jazz and funk elements, energetic tech-house basslines and uplifting melodies. Meanwhile, on 'Kick It', Mike explores a quirky side of his music, diverging from the more minimal and mellow sound he previously embraced. The track features a sample from the famous 'American Boy' hit by British rapper Estelle and Kanye West, complimented by the vocals of the Cairene artist Lilly Farid, which add a more soulful texture to the song's structure.
