Melbourne has never shied away from producing progressive artists who explore the darker side of sound, and Mike Rish is the latest in a long line of esteemed talent to emerge from the city. Yet, he’s slowly carving out a unique niche—an unmistakable rogue-ish frequency that’s both chugging and energetic, playful yet serious. In fact, it’s a whirlwind of emotions at any given moment, but it's always there.

However, don't box him in as a merchant of the moody. When he’s not hiding in the shadows, he shimmers like glitter. Check out his latest on Anjunadeep Explorations, ‘Tú Attair’, and his remix of fellow Melburnian Jamie Stevens’ ‘Rivers’—both delectable slices of euphoric prog that will send the blood rushing to your head. Yes, he has game, and it's no stretch to say that Mike Rish is currently one of the globe’s most searing rising talents.

On this two-hour mix, the Australian delivers a set for the purists—starting with a slow, inviting build that eventually pulls you in like a vortex. Featuring tracks from Guy J, Pig&Dan, Argy, and a stellar chugging rework of the Hydrogen Rockers' classic ‘Musica’, this mix only solidifies the rumor that buying Mike Rish stocks is a sure bet.
