New York, NY
– (June 25, 2008)
- From South Beach to Shanghai, from the clubs of NYC to the beaches of Ibiza, Mike Rizzo has been there and done just about everything that  DJs aspire to.  Throughout his illustrious career Mike Rizzo has worked with some of the best in the business.  They are welcoming him back with open arms after his two year hiatus to be with his family.
 

“Mike Rizzo is world class. Remixing, Djing or producing, he is one of the best,” says Rich Christina of Sony/ATV.  Rizzo’s work with, Justin Timberlake and Beyonce (“Until The End of Time”), Britney Spears (“Break The Ice”), Danity Kane (“Damaged”) , Usher (“Moving Mountains”), Laura Pausini (“Surrender”), Whitney Houston (“Try It On My Own”), and Luther Vandross (“I’d Rather”) which is just a sampling of what this talented producer/remixer can do.  “The best thing about Mike, besides the fact that he is a consummate professional, is the fact that he’s a real producer,” says Anthony Rich (Manager of A&R at Jive Records).  “A lot of remixers I deal with are simply that.  They just know how to remix tracks from hits.  With Mike you get a complete re-creation and point of view on hit records.”
 

Not only does Rizzo Remix, Produce and DJ, but he also has a popular weekly mixshow (AREA 51) which airs Friday nights at Midnight till 2:00 am on NYC’S Pulse Radio 87.7 FM. He also can be heard on XM BPM 81 and AOL Radio. His musical choices for the show reflect what he plays at clubs. Rizzo states, “I love the fact that I can break new music from the states and overseas and also implement the hottest current songs in my sets. My club sets differ from what I play on radio as I like to add a progressive edge!”  

Shari Reich (A&R at Jive Records) adds, “Mike Rizzo never fails to deliver radio-friendly, fun upbeat dance remixes for our label. He understands the demographic we are trying to reach and never fails to rise above our expectations.”  

Rizzo is glad to be in the spotlight, “I took a bit of time away in 2006-2007 to spend time with my family and took a break to reinvent myself.  This has been a great year getting back in the remix game and working on our record label (Ny2london Entertainment) with partners Gary Salzman and Joe Koppie.
