The King Of Bass!

As a chart-topper since 1988, DJ Magic Mike is far from a newcomer, but one who has always managed to remain a bit more underground. The Orlando, Florida native is even noted as “The Best Platinum Artist You Never Heard Of” in Vibe magazine. Beginning in 1989, the initial goal of the DJ and his comrades was to simply sell twenty to thirty thousand copies in hopes of seeing their names on the Billboard charts. So the crew released DJ MAGIC MIKE AND THE ROYAL POSSE. “Although we knew we were hot, we never really took time out to count the rising sales. However, one day one of our employees brought it to our attention after counting the numbers that the album had sold over 500,000 copies completely shocked us. I was having fun anyway, and it didn’t really hit me until the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) came down and present us with gold plaques at an Orlando concert, that’s when everything became real,” explains Mike. Selling over a million copies, the album skyrocketed to Platinum status.
