D.T.L. ContrAversy (aka Mike Legg) was introduced to the world of Electronic Dance Music back in '94 when he heard the amazing sounds of DJ Icey and DJ Dan. These two all time greats were his first inspiration to become a DJ, but he never actually pursued his musical talents until much later. In '97 he became active in the DC and Baltimore, MD scenes. He watched, listened, and learned as time went by, which continued to fuel his need to get involved even more. With each passing day his love and passion for Breaks and DnB grew stronger and was becoming an important and necessary element of life.
In '04 Mike Legg (D.T.L ContrAversy) worked under Lonnie Fisher, owner of the infamous club called Sonar. Lonnie was also known to throw the biggest raves on the east coast since '94, like Starscape, and Ultraworld parties. Mike Legg was a major promoter for the Saturday night weekly drum and bass party called Deuce at Lonnie's club. Mike was such an asset to Sonar promotions by bringing in the masses from all area's far and wide. The nights he was not at Sonar, he was busy promoting in other clubs in the Washington D.C. and Baltimore area. His involvement as a promoter made him become more deeply rooted with the people in the EDM culture. After some traumatic events that occurred in Mike Legg's life in November '04, he was taken away form the EDM scene for a short period of time. He used this time to re-evaluate his productivity and involvement with his only true passion in life (electronic music). For a while, he was consumed with dancing and promoting; and completely happy where he was, but then it just wasn't enough! He wanted to do more, which finally drove him to begin his DJing career. Mike's skills only continued to increase as he let his love for music drive him back to his turntables day in and day out. He is a self proclaimed Break Beat junkie that lives and breathes music 24/7, stating "It's the only thing today that helps me express who I am". His strong love for breaks soon developed into a need to take his skills to the highest level of mixing and complexities. This is where Drum and Bass started to take him to that next step up the ladder. Compelling artists like Adam F, Sub-Focus, Andy C, Zinc, Hype, Concord Dawn, Drum Sound, Simon Bassline, Freaky Flow, Logistics, and Photek steamed Mike's new love for Future Step Drum and Bass. This newly found duel passion for two different sub genres of EDM music was not even enough for him. He had to find more complex ways of expressing himself by working along side some of the best breaks and drum and bass dj's in northern Virginia which later formed the group of dj's known as Va's Finest DnB and breaks which he managed and promoted for. This took a great deal of his time, leaving him with less time to focus on his dj career. With this group of well defined dj's, together they played many underground venues such as SomeRBandits, Transit, Strangeland, and tons of small raves/house parties. Today Mike Legg (D.T.L ContrAversy) is solely focused on keeping the underground vibe and music of Future Step Drum and Bass and Florida Breaks alive by "keeping it real, and not selling out to the large group of untrue commercialized people that rob the true greatness and feeling of what this music is all about." Only spinning Drum and Bass for one year has truly defined his skills as a formidable dj to play more and more major venues on the east coast. There is a strong ContrAversial concept brewing second by second that this man may change the way people view this music.
