Mike Koglin interview, Apollo Aid, Exchange, Los Angeles 2016

”I think it’s a fantastic concept, and I think it’s a really good idea to set something like this up. You have the website, all the DJs who joined and all the people and the fans can participate as well. And I am very excited to play for the first event here in LA tonight!”
- Mike Koglin on the Apollo Aid Foundation, Exchange LA
Since kicking the door down and reaching the UK Top 20 in 1998 with "The Silence" Mike Koglin has been an established mainstay of the dance scene right from its nascent years. Throughout his career both behind the decks and in the studio the dynamic and energetic tracks which have become emblematic of his style have earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording and a place in DJ Mag Top 100 as well as critical acclaim across the board from artists world wide.
I caught up with Mike right before his set at Exchange in Los Angeles for the very first Apollo Aid Foundation night, we talk about charities and the importance of the Apollo Aid Foundation. I ask Mike about his breakthrough with ’The Silence’ back in 1998 - a time when trance was just on the verge of breaking through itself, his move to London (where he was supposed to stay for one year but ended up living there for 22 years and where he made some amazing friends), and we get into his new projects including Sudhaus on Silk Music, and more.
