"When I was asked to mix Southport's compilation I was happy to be involved, having played the festival a few times and also mixed one of their past CD comps previously. I appreciate the passion and open mindedness to the musical diversity and concept... It seems the festival is always booking quality talent for a serious music loving crowd year after year. I wanted to showcase various styles that I enjoy within the house music realm, which always include Deep, Soulful, Dubby, Underground, Funky and Nu-Disco sounds, all seamlessly blended together while trying to keep it fresh and interesting" - Miguel Migs

Miguel Migs' latest album 'Outside the Skyline' saw him move beyond the house scene in which he first made his name. His deep seated love of reggae and dub shines through, as does passion for classic rock, blues, funk and soul. Collaborators include Evelyn 'Champagne' King, reggae legends Capleton, Half-Pint and Freddie MacGregor, Meshell Ndegeocello, Georg Levin and Bebel Gilberto alongside regular vocal co-conspirators, Lisa Shaw and Aya? When he's not working in the studio with some of the biggest names from across the musical spectrum, he still runs much-loved deep house music imprint Salted Music. Founded in 2004, Salted is Migs' outlet for "the stuff I like to play as a DJ". Salted was also home to Migs' last album, 2007's 'Those Things', which saw him collaborating with the big-hitting likes of hip-hop legend Sadat X and Black Uhuru's Junior Reid, among others. It followed in the footsteps of 2002 debut album 'Colorful You' on Astralwerks, catching the attention of the broader music community which lead him to remix big-name artists as diverse as Macy Gray, Lionel Richie and Britney Spears. Miguel began DJing in the mid-'90s, when he aslo started producing electronic dance music too. At the turn of the new millenium he had a string of releases on many leading deep house record labels and had become a stalwart of the hugely influential Naked Music stable with his singles, remixes and compilations as Petalpusher.

"I feel so honoured to have been asked to mix the new Southport Weekender CD along side Miguel Migs. The CD series is so prestigious I put a lot of pressure upon myself to get this really right, not only for myself, but for the listeners and Southport Weekender family. I'm proud of the result and I hope everyone enjoys the final product." - Atjazz
