Mikel_E

Mikel_E is Spanish producer Mikel Elcarte Navarro, who co-founded the electro/techno label Cray1 Labworks. He operates as part of the duo Soulrack & Mikel_e and began releasing music in 2011. Between 2011 and 2013, he released seven tracks on Electrobuzz, establishing himself within Spain's electronic music scene during this period.

His sound centers on tech house, delivering tracks that sit comfortably within the 120-128 BPM range typical of the genre. Mikel_E's productions from this era demonstrate the groovy, percussion-driven characteristics that define tech house, with enough energy for peak-time DJ sets while maintaining the sophisticated arrangements that separate tech house from harder techno styles. His release activity was concentrated within a two-year window, suggesting a focused creative period that coincided with his label operations at Cray1 Labworks.
