Migs began his music career at 18 years old, as a lead guitarist Hermes and songwriter for a Santa Cruz local band called Zion Sounds. The band split up in the mid-1990's, however Zion Sounds' African and Jamaican style is said to have been a major influence in Migs' personal career. After the band dissolved, Miguel Migs went on to explore electronic music production.
Miguel has produced over 100 remixes to date, including remixes for a number of mainstream artists. Such artists include Britney Spears, Macy Gray and Lionel Richie. Migs has been associated with a variety of record labels, most notably Naked Music Recordings.
In 1998 Miguel co-founded the deep house record label Transport Recordings, along with fellow DJ MFR and Naked Music label director Bruno Ybarra. According to a 2004 article by Stephen Thanabalan in DJ Magazine, Migs was credited for his soul-driven vibes and hailed as one of the pioneers of the nascent house and chill-out revival scene alongside Dimitri from Paris and Bob Sinclair as a result of his early foray into Deep House in the late 1990s and early 2000s, releasing several highly sought after singles and remixes under the Petalpusher pseudonym. Most recently, in 2005, he founded Salted Music, a record label under Om Records.
Miguel Migs stands at the forefront of electronic music's soulful realm. Whether tackling his original productions or remixes, he achieves an organic-soulful sound by combining the best of both the electronic music world and live instrumentation.
For many years, Miguel's productions have been included on countless compilations and his records have slid into the crates of top DJs across the globe. His music has also landed on numerous TV Shows, including Six Feet Under, Sex in the City, and MTV's Road Rules and Real World.
Contrary to many of his club-centric DJ/producer peers, Miguel is not always concerned with the potential dance floor appeal of his soulful tracks. "It's music you can enjoy and listen to at home, in the club, or anywhere. Not necessarily just to rock the dance floor." explains the Northern California native, who grew up with a true love of reggae, soul, classic rock, jazz, hip-hop and just about everything else.
His impressive discography includes more than 100 original productions and remixes on seminal independent labels such as Salted Music, Naked Music, Astralwerks, Yoshitoshi, NRK, Black Vinyl, Large, Chez, Transport Recordings, Om Records, Defected Records and many others. His recordings have consistently made waves in the underground circuit and have landed on DJ hype charts internationally. He is highly regarded when it comes to remixes, having worked with major label artists such as Macy Gray, Lionel Ritchie and Britney Spears. Miguel additionally has released numerous mix CD compilations on labels including Defected, Naked Music, Southport Weekender and NRK.
Never one to sit still, Migs started his own label Salted Music in 2004. Having been associated with an extensive number of labels throughout his career, he came to realize a desire to have his own base, a vehicle for building his own catalogue of quality material. Salted Music is a foundation for Migs to choose and release music that inspires him, as well as release his own productions and compilations.
Migs wrote and recorded an album (Those Things), released a remix album (Those Things Remixed) put together a new live act and toured with his band Petalpusher, continued to tour all over the world full time as a DJ, worked on his label, and of course, there’s his beloved ‘67 Chrysler Newport convertible and other life things to take care of, too. With Salted’s catalogue growing at a rapid pace there’s now a wealth of great material to share with the fans - leading us to the August 25 release of Get Salted Volume 2 (09).
As a producer, Miguel realizes a strong connection between his electronic music productions and live musical background. He writes his own lyrics and plays his own instruments, be it guitar, bass, percussion or keyboard.
As a DJ, Miguel was recognized and nominated for best DJ in the 2004 House Music Awards held in London. Migs maintains the same approach to his sets as to his productions, combining a variety of influences and styles fused together. The result is funky, deep, soulful, bumping house music. "I like to mix it up and keep it moving smoothly, taking the dance floor through a very spontaneous mix into the realms of quality, deep house music depending on the mood in the room", says Migs. "But, whether it's vocal, tracky, dubby, moody, percussive or broken beat, the sound always remains soulful and funky.
Is a musical God.
Close Your Eyes
Miguel Migs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here all night
Feels alright
Here all night
Plenty of things I wish that I, could undo
Everything good ain't too good to be true, oh
You think there’s nothing new, under the sun (Yeah just need to have some fun)
Close your eyes, step into another time
Really love the way the music makes me feel, inside
Close your eyes, step into another time
Really love the way the music makes me feel, inside
Feels alright just imagine
Here all night just dancing
There we are
Let’s leave the world behind
So come with me, just dance with me
Close your eyes, step into another time
Really wanna know what the music makes you feel, inside
Close your eyes, step into another time
Really love the way the music makes me feel, inside
You think there’s nothing new under the sun
And there’s a piece of you coming undone
Everything good like too good to be true, oh
Close your eyes, step into another time
Really love the way the music makes me feel, inside
Close your eyes, step into another time
Really love the way the music makes me feel, inside (Just have some fun)
The song "Close Your Eyes" by Miguel Migs is about letting go of worries and enjoying the moment through music. The first verse explains that there are things in life that we wish we could undo, but the feeling of being with someone and having a good time all night makes up for it. The person being addressed in the song may think that life has nothing new to offer and may be feeling a sense of dissatisfaction, but the singer suggests that they just need to let go and have fun.
The chorus emphasizes the idea of being transported to another time by the power of music. The singer encourages the listener to close their eyes and let the music take over, allowing them to fully experience the emotions that it brings. The second verse repeats the theme of wanting to undo things in life, but ultimately realizing that everything good (like the feeling of being with someone and listening to music) is worth holding onto. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the invitation to let go and be carried away by the music.
Overall, the message of "Close Your Eyes" is to forget about the stresses of life and let loose in the moment, using the power of music to transport oneself to a better place emotionally.
