Since breaking onto the scene in 2003, he’s been sending shivers down thousands of people’s spines. Mike has unquestioningly become one of Scandinavia's biggest front figures in the EDM landscape and has shown the world why his music is so highly rated, loved, and captivating;

Over the past years, Mike has been building up an arsenal of tracks and remixes being a-listed by the finest DJs globally. Starting off with his debut release "Mike Shiver - Feelings"; which rapidly became a firmly supported and well known record, carving his name into the scene. The runner up releases 'Lunation', 'Hurricane', 'Water Ripples', 'Arise' and 'Morning Drive' have been nothing but a great journey, which underlines his versatility in creating impressive, yet brilliant productions.

So far the long list of artists to receive the Shiver remix interpretation includes Above & Beyond, Markus Schulz, Solarstone, Ronski Speed, Darren Tate, Alex M.O.R.P.H, Hiver & Hammer, Lost Witness, Darude, Filo & Peri and David West to mention a few. As well, his endless evolving tracks appear on top labels such as Anjunabeats, Armada Music and Lost Language constantly topping charts and entering the play lists of the top spinners across the globe. Best of all the tracks are highly charted around the world attracting numerous amounts of growing fans.

In the end of 2007 Mike released his new single 'The Apocalypse' together with George Acosta on Armin van Buuren's Sound Piercing imprint at Armada Music. 2008 is the year when things take off for Mike, as he is on the roll at the moment. If we take a closer look into the portfolio, we can reveal there are new brilliant solo releases and collaborations coming up along with his very eagerly anticipated debut artist album. Mike is set for additional DJ bookings throughout Europe and the United States, and has already graced clubs with his timeless and trendy sets.

His sets are consistently musical structured full of energy and dedication. Mike always shows incredible enthusiasm behind the decks, which is why he never fails to get an audience going.

Review by Iceferno Feb 16, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)
Mike Shiver is a very inspiring producer. So inspiring, I refer to him as The King Of Dream Trance!

All his songs and remixes are so well thought out, that it honestly doesn't matter which one you start with. I first knew about him for his remix of Avanto's "The Flute" which was like a dreamy alternative to Airbase's cyber-futuristic mix. Other tunes I've heard by Mike include remixes of Lost Witness' "Home", Masters & Nickson's "5th Dimension", Kenneth Thomas' "Ghost In The Machine" and, more recently, Mark Pledger (of Smith & Pledger fame)'s "On The Edge".

Anyone whose heard what Mr. Shiver makes will know that he puts such a strong combination of emotion and energy into his tracks. "Morning Drive" remains my favourite of his productions even after hearing such splendour as "Water Ripples". Go seek out this genious' productions right away!
