Undoubtedly one of the world’s most legendary DJs, Mix Master Mike is the renowned turntablist responsible for cuts and scratches on many of the Beastie Boys’ most legendary tracks, as well as a member of the seminal Invisibl Skratch Piklz turntablist team.

Having last visited Australia earlier in 2005, touring with the Beastie Boys as headliners on the Big Day Out, he’ll be returning down under in August for his own solo tour. Continuing our series of high profile ‘in the spotlight’ webchats, Smirnoff ICE and inthemix are excited to announce that Mike will be online to answer all your questions live and direct on Thursday August 18th at 6pm AEST.

More than a DJ who simple plays records, Mix Master Mike is one of the few DJs who uses the turntable as an instrument in its own right. Cutting, scratching, juggling and more, if you walk away from one of his astounding performances without your jaw dragging on the floor you’re a hard person to impress!

Mix Master Mike will be headlining the Nokia Terminal 9 tour along the east coast in August, as well as playing his own solo sideshows in various cities across the country. By logging in to the chat you’ll have the chance to win some great prizes, including exclusive signed merchandise.
