Biography:

Mike Mareen was born on November, 9th 1949 in Berlin (West Germany). First, he was a drummer, but later he was the singer of the group Cemetery Institution (non-disco) and performed in Hamburg´s legendary ‘Star Club’, where The Beatles used to play in their beginnings.
Then he became a sailor, went to New York and spent some years there. Back in Germany again, he released his biggest success hit “Love Spy” in 1986, followed by “Dancing In The Dark” and “Agent Of Liberty”, a great disco track as well. In the same year Mike released his first album entitled: “Dance Control”. After one year later in 1987 he released his second album called: “Let’s Start Now”. This album included his new super-hit: “Don’t Talk To The Snake”. Both albums were released by well-known Germany Label Zyx Records.
Apart of Mike Mareen, he also sang using pseudonyms like Amadeus Liszt with such smash hits like: “Win The Race” and “The Devil Win”, but his successful career have been with the Mike Mareen releases.
Mike like many disco artists has wrote and produced tracks released by other artists. He produced hit like: “Birthday Girl” by ITALO-DISCO star Dj’s Project. discogs.com
In 1984/85 Mike realized “Dance Control” publish 1985 a co-production with Chris Evans-Ironside called “Dancing In The Dark”, which became a N° 1 hit in 27 countries around the world. Sold out show events, e.g. in Mexico City in front of an audience of 50.000 are a evidence for this.
.In 1986, “Love Spy” was his final breakthrough by which Mike Mareen established himself in the international music business as the “Italo-Disco-King”.
Until that time no other artist from “old Germany” had managed to unite more than 3.000 fans at his place of arrival (Mexico). By this time all artists performing this musical style were compared to Mike Mareen.
He is one of the few European artists who has been present for weeks with various songs in the American Billboard Charts. International sucess also resulted from working as a producer with famous artists such as Roberto Blanco, … DJ’s Project, UK and Shipra.
In 1987 Mike succeeded in having another charthit with his single “Agent Of Liberty” which is a long runner in various radio trailers until now.
This success led to the release of the 12″ LP “Let’s Start Now” at the close of the year 1988, which became a standard at the dance clubs across Europe.
The beginning of 1988 saw the release of the single “Stand Up”. Caused by the major success of Mike Mareen’s dance music, a remix of all his classic hits was released in 1991, on request of numerous DJ’s of well-known dance clubs.
Mike Mareen allowed himself a pause for inspiration, but in 2004 he’s back now with his new album “Darkness and Light” – best remakes of his greatest hits and many brand new songs – produced with his friends Chris Evans-Ironside and Holly Post, the famous DJ-Producer-Crew “Da Freaks” and other.
