Michael Terzian

For 21 years, Montreal's DJ Michael Terzian of the mighty Nu Bang Clan has stapled a signature, cutting-edge House sound like no other ; gracing turntables in South Beach/Miami, Chicago, NYC, LA, Detroit, Ottawa, Toronto, Thailand, as well as Turks & Caicos, not to mention a multitude of Montreal staples both old & new, such as DiSalvio's, Jai Bar, Stereo Bar, Salon Daomé, Globe, UN, Peopl & Piknic Electronik. He's graced turntables alongside House Music pioneers such as Farley Jackmaster Funk, Victor Simonelli, Tony Touch, Jovonn, Rick Wilhite, Alton Miller, Ian Friday, Tyrone Francis, Jephte Guillaume, Gene King, Freddy Sanon & Ben Johnson of ShelterNYC, amongst others.

Renowned for his eclectic musical journeys, he's repeatedly been nominated on NYC's annual listing of 'Robbi's Top 20 DJ's' alongside legendary icons such as Timmy Regisford, Danny Krivit, Tony Humphries, David Morales, Karizma, Francois Kevorkian, Kerri Chandler, Kenny Dope, and Grammy-Award winning Louie Vega, .

For a decade, Michael was a member of Montreal's revered 'Utopia's Paradise' radio show (CKUT 90.3FM). In recent times, Terzian's weekly 3-hr radio show, Salvation From Sin on Montreal's CJLO1690, received accolades from industry pundits from all over the world, not only for its tasteful selection of pure, unadulterated underground House music, but equally due to the many local & international guests that contributed to the show over its 3-year run (2010-2013), not only in terms of live in-depth interviews, but guest mixes too. Integral & pioneering Dance Music pillars such as Joe Claussell, Juan Atkins, Larry Heard, Ron Trent, Byron Stingily, DJ Spen, Jay Denes & Eddie Perez (Smack Music), amongst others, dedicated their precious time to this unprecedented show. 

In 2015, Michael joined forces with longtime friend, The RawSoul, to form the Gold Diggerz, a knockout dj-duo who have since held court at several key events & festivals in Montreal, such as Piknic Electronik, Lofthanza, AIM and Jardins Gamelin.

Since mid-2015, Terzian has also been holding down a residency @The Angry Lobster Bar inside the world renowned La Queue de Cheval restaurant in downtown Montreal. Catering to the rich and famous, Michael has played his gorgeous cocktail of refined House sounds for a bevy of people in the public eye, such as Katie Holmes, The Weeknd, PK Subban, Bernie Ecclestone, Lou Ferigno, boxer Adonis Stevenson, and an unforgettable intimate evening where he played for legendary musician, Carlos Santana.

Whether he plays in a nightclub or on radio, expect this refined musical selector to deliver his sacred mantra of sweet bliss by making dancers not only climb walls, but equally ascend to their innermost spiritual heights.
