6.4 周五 • MIXMAG CHINA Showcase

Mickey Zhang (张然) 是中国电子舞曲文化的领军人物。在23年的音乐生涯中， Mickey 不仅仅以 DJ、制作人、派对活动主办方的身份推动着中国电音文化的发展，他更像是中国乃至亚洲的电音大使，是最被国际认可的亚洲电子音乐人之一。来自宁夏的 Mickey 出身于艺术世家，从小就深受中国古典音乐、舞蹈和戏曲的熏陶，11岁时便考入北京舞蹈学院。结束6年的深造后，Mickey 被分配到广东工作，凭借那里临近香港的地理优势，第一次为电子舞曲的魅力所撼动。在观看了 T e c h n a s i a 的现场之后，Mickey 决定搬到北京，全心投入音乐事业。

第一个在柏林传奇俱乐部 Tresor 演出，第一个登上 ADE (阿姆斯特丹电子音乐节)、西班牙 Sonar(享誉全球的前卫艺术、科技及音乐节)、法国 MIDEM(法国戛纳国际音乐博览会)，以及 Wire (日本最大的室内 Techno 音乐节) 等国际顶级音乐节，第一个在国内发行原创电子乐专辑 —— Mickey 创造了中国电子乐发展史上的许多个第一。他还曾与 Laurent Garnier, Ken Ishii, 石野卓球, Technasia 等国际级 DJ 同台献艺，在不断与众多电子音乐高手的切磋中磨砺出猛烈纯粹的 Tehcno 风格，并逐步确立起他在中国电音界的领军地位。2004年，Mickey 参与成立「凹凸文化」，推出了派对活动品牌「焱-YEN」。为了推动中国电子音乐文化的发展，「焱-YEN」更青睐于冉冉升起的本土明星，而不是为了短期票房去盲目追求国外艺人。历经三年，「焱-YEN」已成为代表中国电子音乐的国际知名 Party 品牌，吸引和培养了大量的电子音乐从业者和爱好者。

Mickey Zhang (Zhang Ran) is a godfather of Chinese dance music. His massive 23years career spans DJing, producing, sound tracking, and numerous album releases.Taken together, he has become an ambassador for China’s burgeoning electronic mu-sic scene.

So where did he come from? Well, most people outside of China wouldn't know the in-land Chinese province of Ningxia, but that’s where young Mickey was grew up. Hisartistic family ( = classical music, opera, and dance) was the ideal launch pad into theBeijing Dance Academy at age 11. A dance background may not be the norm for elec-tronic music producers, but if you think about it, it makes perfect sense for China’spremier dance music DJ.

As his career took off, Mickey went on to set many “firsts” in China’s growing electronicmusic scene: the 1st Chinese artist to perform at Berlin’s legendary Tresor club, thefirst to play at Sonar in Spain, MIDEM in Cannes, Wire in Japan; and the first to releasean original electronic album in China itself. He also has a myriad of international col-laborations under his belt – including Laurent Garnier, Ken Ishii, Ishino, and Technasia(to name but a few).

Mickey has also played a key role in the wider electronic music industry in China. Backin 2004, he co-founded 02 Culture the company behind China’s massive electronic par-ty brand YEN. Mickey helped push YEN to support domestic music talent, rather thanfollowing others to slavishly chase after foreign DJs for the sake of a bit of ticket rev-enue. After just three years, it was clear that the strategy paid off – YEN was estab-lished as a leading player in the Asian electronic music scene and the hub for electron-ic music in China.
