It all started when Mike spent much of his free time during his high school & college years, as a deejay on campus radio.
Over the period spanning 1984 to 1991, Mike landed several residencies for many night clubs in the greater Montreal region, such as The Octagone, Superpub, Braque, and Esprit, to name a few.
In the early 1990s Mike and Robby made some remixes for Unidisc, the most popular being D-Train's "You’re The One For Me" on the mighty Prelude imprint.
In 1987, Mike Perras was a member of one of the first House Music bands originating from Montreal: "Made 2 Funk" giving live performances featuring singer Rodney Felix.
The year 1991 proved to be a turning point in Perras' career, when his tracks "Beginning of Life" and "Keep Movin", both released on Bassic, were licensed over the ensuing years by top recording labels such as Azuli, BBE, International Deejay Gigolo,[2] ITH Records/Defected,[3] Logic, Outland and Global Underground.
