Michael The Lion is the latest and greatest pseudonym of long-time Philadelphia DJ and producer DJ Apt One. With his releases on internationally renowned labels such as Soul Clap Records and Razor-N-Tape, Michael adapts the trademark sound he’s developed for two decades– live instruments sitting seamlessly with sampled grooves to create organic, classic textures. The Lion sound is always funky, always strong and always ready for the floor.
Michael was a part of the multi-genre style of DJing that catapulted his adopted Philadelphia to the pinnacle of the DJ world in the early 2000s. His years of seasoning as a DJ have seen him play all styles imaginable all across North America and Europe. He’s officially remixed acts as varied as Wiz Khalifa, Gregor Salto, Midnight Magic and Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes. As a part of the duo RCMP, his work foreshadowed the emergence of Nu-Disco before the genre even had a name. Now, as Michael The Lion, he is pushing the boundaries of funk in modern dance music. Alongside his frequent collaborator Amy Douglas, his recent releases have found favor on just about any dancefloor where disco can be found.
