For a decade, Michael was a member of Montreal's revered Utopia's Paradise radio show (CKUT 90.3FM). In recent times, Terzian's weekly 3-hr radio show, Salvation From Sin on Montreal's CJLO1690 received accolades from industry pundits from all over the world, not only for its tasteful selection of pure, unadulterated underground music, but equally due to the many local & international guests that contributed to the show over its 3-year run (2010-2013), not only in terms of live in-depth interviews, but guest mixes too. Integral & pioneering Dance Music pillars such as Joe Claussell, Juan Atkins, Larry Heard, Ron Trent, Byron Stingily, DJ Spen, Jay Denes & Eddie Perez (Smack Music), amongst others, dedicated their precious time to this unprecedented show.

Whether he plays in a nightclub or on radio, expect this refined musical selector to deliver his sacred mantra of sweet bliss by making dancers not only climb walls, but equally ascend to their innermost spiritual heights.
