Beastie Boys' Mix Master Mike to play Button Factory show

Named as “the world’s greatest DJ” by USA Today, Mix Master Mike’s status as a premier, award-winning DJ and producer has allowed him to maintain his rank as an influential musician and become a household name.

The past few years have seen Mix Master Mike touring sold-out arenas with Metallica, as well as Djing for A$AP Rocky’s album release party and joining forces with Cypress Hill in 2018.

Grammy Award winner Mix Master Mike’s many accomplishments include a 3 time consecutive win of the DMC World title, a win of the 1992 New Music Seminar DJ Battle (where he became the first West Coast DJ to win the title of World Champion), and being inducted into the Rock ’n Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 with the Beastie Boys. His skilful, hard-hitting scratch work has rightfully earned him the status of a pioneer in the hip-hop and DJ communities.

Over the last few years, Mike has been found opening for the Vancouver Winter Olympics, joining the official Emmy’s orchestra with the legendary Michael Bearden (Lady Gaga's/Michael Jackson's music director), creating music that has been featured on major television networks, performing on Yo Gabba Gabba, producing the theme music for the FIFA World Cup, working on Andra Day's Grammy nominated album, Cheers to the Fall, and more. In 2016, he was invited to the White House by former President Barack Obama to perform at the Kennedy Center Honors 36th Gala honouring Herbie Hancock.
