Miguel Migs Bio:
Though he didn't found the label, Miguel Migs' productions (under the
Petalpusher and L'isha aliases as well as his own name) gained the most
fame for Naked Music, the house label formed by producer Jay Denes (aka
Naked Music NYC). The template for Naked Music -- audible since its
first release, Petalpusher's "Breaking It Down" -- is smooth, polished,
organic house music, much more chilled than mainstream house and
surprisingly song- and musician-oriented for the norm in the dance
world. (Also a contributor to building the Naked Music brand was Stuart
Patterson's exotic artwork; the most immediately identifiable marriage
of audio and visual since Designers Republic first designed a Warp
sleeve.)
Migs, born Miguel Steward, grew up in Santa Cruz and was playing guitar
in a local reggae band named Zion Sounds when he began producing on his
own. He released his first record (the Mercury Lounge EP) in 1998 on La
Casa, and his mellow house tracks began showing up in DJ sets on the
West Coast; a bastion of chilled house thanks to pioneering mixers like
Mark Farina. Jay Denes, who had already produced a full-length as Naked
Music NYC (distributed through the like-minds at San Francisco's OM),
invited Migs to contribute the first release to his new Naked Music
label (formed with Dave Boonshoft) and the results earned notice
throughout the dance community.
While Naked Music began work on a
series of well-received compilations (Nude Dimensions, Carte Blanche),
Migs produced for labels including Yoshitoshi, Large Music, and NRK,
occasionally in tandem with DJ Rasoul (as Nite Source). He also mixed a
few Naked Music compilations, including 2000's Nude Dimensions:
Petalpusher Sessions and 2002's Nude Tempo One. His first full
production album, Colorful You, appeared late in 2002 as part of a
distribution deal with Astralwerks. John Bush, All Music Guide
