Dj Mike (Madness) Bleackley first experienced the genre of house music in the mid to late eighties and was hooked. Listening to such influential artists and Dj's like Frankie Knuckles, Todd Terry, Larry Heard were just a few. He immediately fell in love with this music and knew that he wanted to be the person delivering it to the people, after buying some turntables and a mixer he began to master the art of turntabling.
Upon moving from Toronto in 1992 Dj Mike Madness worked hard to promote himself and was fortunate to be in the forefront of the thriving house scene that Vancouver developed where Parties were held in lofts, studio's and warehouses throughout the downtown area with details about getting to the party were vague and mysterious. These elements created a great vibe and produced a sense of uncertainty as these events could be shut down at any moment. That is "underground" and what our house music is about. Freedom of expression through music and dance.
