DJ Miko is an Italian Eurodance project founded in 1993. Known for energetic dance beats and catchy melodies, DJ Miko gained international recognition in the mid-‘90s, contributing to the golden era of Eurodance.
The project’s biggest breakthrough came with the 1994 cover of “What’s Up?”, originally by 4 Non Blondes. DJ Miko’s dancefloor-driven version transformed the rock ballad into a club anthem, achieving major success across Europe and beyond. The single became a Top 10 hit in multiple countries, including Italy, the UK, and Canada, cementing DJ Miko’s place in the Eurodance scene.
Following this success, DJ Miko continued to release singles, including “Rhythm” and “My Sharona,” both of which carried the signature high-energy sound that defined the project. While later releases didn’t reach the same commercial heights as “What’s Up?”, DJ Miko remained a staple in clubs and on dance radio stations throughout the ‘90s.
Although the Eurodance trend evolved over time, DJ Miko’s music remains a nostalgic favorite among fans of ‘90s dance anthems. The project’s energetic style and club-friendly sound continue to be celebrated in dance music compilations and retro parties worldwide.
