Slamcast Ep. 3 - Mickey Breeze

Welcome to SlamCast, where your hosts Neil and Brea chat with creatives about their process and how they navigate the grind of promoting themselves. This week they sit down with Mickey Breeze, a highly accomplished DJ, artist, and educator.
We get into the origin story of Breeze to learn how his family support and their background led him to being a DJ at the age of 10. We chat about what keeps him motivated as an independent artist.
We also get behind the scene tips about Breeze’s performance setup. It’s a mixture between Ableton and Serato. In a seamless combination of both of these softwares. He uses Rane Twelve turn tables with a 72 mixer to send digital signals to his computer. He also incorporates a Midi Fighter 64 using midi clips from Ableton.
Lastly, Mickey Breeze gives us his top tips and tricks to be a “successful” artist on social media and in real life. He tells the audience to expose as much of the process as you can. People want the whole package. Listen to the full episode to find out more!

I FREAKING LOVE THAT KID! 😘😘😘😘

He is so talented!

Love the video and thanks for it. To hear about Live being run through the mixer was actually something I had kicking around the back of my head for a few weeks now. Would it be possible to run a Push directly into, say a four channel mixer with two CDJs or the new dual use turntables from Pioneer? Into the Push I could run other pieces of hardware by using a ADAT interface so the variations could be considerable. You may read this and think this is crazy talk and it may well be, lol! ADHD is a thing....

[@MickeyBreeze]

Not at all crazy! At the end of the day, it comes down to audio output, so I'm sure with an interface you would be able to run audio through an empty line on a regular pioneer mixer, or you would be able to use the mixer as a sound card to run live's audio directly👍🏾

I've been a Slam student for years and have heard about Mickey Breeze but never got to meet. This was a wonderful interview and I really appreciated the deep dive!
