DJ Bios
Mike Scales Thursdays, 9PM
Mike is your average working stiff and former college radio DJ (R.I.P. WEIU, Charleston!) with a knack for music writing (Chicago Innerview), photography and concert-going. Musically, he likes stuff that really cooks! Mike’s tastes tend to hover over the loud and occasionally heavy, but it’s impossible to pin him down to any one genre. He loves it all, from blast-beats to jazz bleats, and he enjoys having a little something in the mix for everybody.
