Ever since his early childhood, Michael Jatas has been inspired by the dance music industry. His favourites include George Michael, Paul Anka and Everly Brothers just to name a few. He was brought up listening to almost all forms of music such as rock n’ roll, disco, retro and electronic / dance music. As time passed by, the late 80’s was a big time in the music industry when many new genres were forming. Michael loved the new sounds spreading from younger to older generations. At that time he started listening to retro, old school rap, freestyle, classic house and euro music. At the end of ’94 the scene started changing and the music started to loose popularity. As soon as this occurred he started getting worried. “What is happening to the music that was popular back then?” That’s when he started to take action. Michael started promoting and tried to revive the scene; with not too much luck he quit after a few years. He still loved the music with all his passion, however records were hard to find and not too many record stores had them in stock.
In 2001 Michael acquired a new taste of music called “hardcore”. His first hardcore CD was Happy2BHardcore – Chapter Six (Mixed by Anabolic Frolic). He loved the sound and needed more and more music, still HHC wasn’t fast enough for him, and progressed into the gabber and speedore scene and later had tons of CD’s and a few records. Now he owns a huge collection of hardcore music ranging from happy hardcore to gabber and speedcore.
Early 2003 he started to promote, deejay and produce hardcore music. His official deejay site launched in February of 2003. In the end of 2003 he started Gods Must Rave organization, which is a rave organization based in Toronto. Early 2004 Michael started to promote even greater, thus he founded haradcoreradio.tk and is live deejaying every week in his home studio. To this day Michael Jatas is trying all the time promoting hardcore music even though he still loves the classics from the early days.
His official deejay site (www.michaeljatas.ca) now receives over 80,000 hits a month.
