The only things that have remained constant through Mike Relm's DJ sets are his needles. Mike Relm has elevated from pushing mixtapes around his high school to raise money for DJ equipment, and has now achieved legendary status for bending and twisting that equipment in ways few could conceive. Based out of San Francisco, Relm has earned stripes sharing stages with the likes of Jurassic 5, Gift of Gab and Money Mark, but his strongest credentials come from his own work. Accompanying his world-famous DJ skills, Relm also uses a turntable-like device to tweak video images on a projector screen. He may well be the greatest one-man disc and video jockey combination of all-time, blending the two into an art rather than a simple sensory overload. Far from relying on this as a mere gimmick, Mike Relm's reputation as a force on the turntables was solidified in 1999, as he was crowned the International Turntablist Federation's USA champion.
1999 also saw him receive a mention in URB magazine's Next 100, a yearly feature on the most notable and influential artists poised to spread their music and gain notoriety. The following year, Relm wrote and directed Skratchcon 2000m, the world's first educational gathering for turntablist music. A slew of battle records, solo releases, and video work (including directorial work on Q-Bert's "Wave Twisters") followed, as Relm built all of his accomplishments from the ground-up and turned ashy into classy.
Fresh off a stint as the tour DJ for Mike Patton's "Peeping Tom" band, a pop-rock project that featured collaborations with Massive Attack, Dan The Automator, and Rahzel, Relm is eager to showcase his own live show. Though he's capable of turntablism that can twist up faces on even the most elitist scratch DJs, Relm goes beyond that to give every spectator something they haven't heard or seen before. His shows have a heavy focus on songs that crowds can sing along with or dance to, but even the familiar music is tweaked to create unfamiliar contexts and a brand new experience. If Relm sees any moment in a song or situation that he can make his own, he'll always take advantage of it. Every aspect of his live show embodies that take on music and life.
