Migs began his music career at 18 years old, as a lead guitarist and songwriter for a Santa Cruz local band called Zion Sounds. The band split up in the mid-1990s, however Zion Sounds’ African and Jamaican style is said to have been a major influence in Migs’ personal career.

In 1998 Miguel cofounded the deep house record label Transport Recordings, along with fellow DJ MFR and Naked Music label director Bruno Ybarra. Migs was credited for his soul-driven vibes and hailed as one of the pioneers of the nascent house and chill-out revival scene alongside Dimitri from Paris and Bob Sinclar as a result of his early foray into Deep House in the late 1990s and early 2000s, releasing several highly sought after singles and remixes under the Petalpusher pseudonym. Most recently, in 2005, he founded Salted Music, a record label under Om Records. His most recent original album is titled, Those Things released in May 2007.

She debuted in 1995 with a single titled, “Makin’ Love Makin’ Music”, written by DJ Smash. After it became a hit in the underground, she released many more singles and collaborated with several productions, a few collaborations with Shaw’s husband, DJ Swingsett and most notable, producer/songwriter,Miguel Migs. Many of these such singles have appeared on many compilations. Shaw released her debut solo album, Cherry in 2005 on the Astralwerks label.
