Dj Miko

DJ Miko was an Italian dance act that gained popularity in the 1990s, mainly known for releasing dance covers of past pop and rock hits. The group was fronted by keyboardist Monier Quartararo Gagliardo and British vocalist Louise Anne Gard. DJ Miko released one album and twelve singles, with their most successful hit being a cover of 4 Non Blondes' "What's Up" in 1993. The project was managed by the Milan-based record company Dig It International and released on its Hotline Records label, with music production handled by SAIFAM in Verona. SAIFAM took over the DJ Miko project after Dig It International closed down in 1997. Throughout their career, DJ Miko has made several appearances on the Eurodance compilation album Dancemania series and Konami's Bemani series of rhythm music video games. The group employed various studio vocalists, including Maria Caprì, Annerley Gordon, Jackie Bodiemead, and Melody Castellari. SAIFAM has since used the name DJ Miko as an alias for dance cover versions on its compilation album series.
