Mike Diamond // Diamondmonsterrr

Mike Diamond (previously Diamondmonsterrr)

Location: Sacramento, CA

Meet Mike Diamond. Off stage, he is an up and coming socialite with his hands in a little bit of everything from djing to promotion. Most would describe him as a quiet guy with an inviting enigma that makes him stand out, and just enough vagueness about him to keep you wondering what is coming next. On stage and in the DJ booth, he is known as the energy charged DJ called Diamondmonsterrr.

Mike Diamond got his start like any other aspiring dj playing in the quiet confines of his bedroom. Growing up with the sounds of freestyle, trance, and house music, making the transition to djing came natural to him.

Coming from a place where most consider the indie electro culture to be unseen, Mike Diamond had the heroic vision that most DJ’s have starting out. But while most DJ’s spend countless hours knocking on club doors and kissing up to promoters to get gigs, he thought outside the control of the club owners.

With a D.I.Y. attitude and an “I don’t give a damn” mentality, he took the party straight to the people and created what Sacramento calling gods gift to the indie rock and electro culture. But he just calls it “A Big Party”.

The idea was simple. Get a house, throw a big party, DJ as Diamondmonsterrr, have a good time, and go home. He expected success, but what he didn’t expect was to see upwards of 500 people show up to one house or the word to spread as far as San Diego.

Overall, 2007 was a breakthrough year for Mike Diamond. With the current success of “ABP” and a few parties under his belt, he is very hard to miss. You can find him with his Blackberry or iPhone in hand premeditating moves in Midtown, L.A.,  San Francisco & beyond. But if you ask him, it was only a fraction of the plan he has for the future.

When its all said and done at the end of a long hard day, Mike Diamond doesn’t care about the limelight or if people remember if his name is Mike Diamond or Diamondmonsterrr. In fact, he wants to help them forget. Forget their day-to-day stresses of life, their bills, and most of all their 9-5s. With every record he spins, he wants to create a musical hideaway where everyone can dance with no shame.
