Migs� reputation is such that, when it came to recording his new album �Outside The Skyline�, he was able to pull together an impressive line-up of collaborators which not only includes the original disco diva Evelyn �Champagne� King, but also reggae legends Half-Pint and Freddie McGregor, first lady of musicianship Meshell Ndegeocello, Berlin-based singer Georg Levin and bossa nova phenomenon
Bebel Gilberto all make an appearance on the album, alongside two vocalists who�ve been regular co-conspirators, Aya and Lisa Shaw. Migs adds, �Everyone on this album project was super easy going for that matter, with nothing but open-minded creative energy��
The result is an electronic soul album that�s trademark Migs. Part classic and part futuristic, Informed by house but no slave to metronomic dancefloor rhythms and tempos, it takes influences from soul, reggae, funk, and more, with a heavy emphasis on high-quality songwriting and equally high production values. Migs comments, �I enjoy creating all types of music and I take inspiration from everything around me. Its not about trends or what�s fashionably popular, its about creative expression, quality, emotion and artistic integrity. I love and listen to all styles of music and try to blend the influences together into my songs. Including elements of funk, soul, dub, disco, 80�s sounds and rock... Its �electronic dance music� with soul, musicality and live instrumentation inspired by all kinds of musical genres.�
Having released a clutch of highly acclaimed productions, including the well-received 2002 debut album, �Colorful You�, which came out on the legendary Astralwerks label, Migs� became a stalwart of the hugely influential Naked
Music stable with his original singles, remixes and compilations. Migs began to attract attention from the broader music community, remixing big-name artists as diverse as Macy Gray,
Lionel Richie and Britney Spears. These numerous releases and collaborations established Migs at the forefront of a new scene as enamoured of underground deep house as it was of quality soul charting music. �Those Things�, the album that followed in 2007 saw an enormous amount of cross over support including a nomination for best electronic album, as well as getting voted into the staff recommended Virgin top 20 plus countless rave reviews.
