Mike Mago
The Show

Ministry of Sound

WE SAY

Ministry of Sound have had quite a run on the dance singles front this year, what with Bingo Players and Duke Dumont both hitting the top spot and Chris Malinchak debuting at No. 2 in May, and Mike Mago's sunny Chicago house banger The Show looks likely to continue the trend. Mike Mago is Michiel Thomassen, head honcho of Amsterdam-based BMKLTSCH Records, and his latest track has got the lot - its big-room piano breaks, soulful vocal and driving house groove have caught the ear of everyone from Pete Tong to Zane Lowe on Radio 1, Trevor Nelson to DJ Target at 1Xtra, Steve Smart at Kiss and Andi Durrant at Capital. It has obvious club appeal too, with high rotation from the likes of Afrojack, David Guetta, Josh Wink and Nervo cementing this anthem on dancefloors from LA to Ibiza to Sydney. File under no brainer.
