FLH’s real name is Michael Yaub Bitar. Born July 25, 1973, he grew up in unincorporated Dade County north of Kendall, south of Hialeah, and east of Miami Beach and Downtown Miami. He grew up somewhat of a nerd and a disturbed child with a high G.P.A. and a penchant for clowning. Tinkering with electronics at the age of 7, father Jorge would typically be found staring from the doorway wondering, ”Why is the home computer and stereo in pieces on the floor? And how did he reach the tool kit?” His mother was an artist and his father and engineer…little FLH would be a commingling of the two. Always being a troubled child with too many questions, and not enough answers, curiosity would lead him into the various circles that would elevate his slow climb to the top of the flat hill that is the Florida Dance Culture Scene. The 90’s were a time of growth in Miami where before you just had Cubans, now you had the Versace’s. Mike would be the clueless kid to be the first one to open the dance floor and the last to leave. At 16 he could be seen in the booth of Eddie O’reily’s Club 21 tugging on Tenaglia’s shorts requesting Front 242 and Vicious Pink, at Club 1235 on Wednesdays to see Skinny Puppy and hear Bizarre Love Triangle (the first time around kids), going to the Kitchen Club to listen to “Join in the Chant”, sing karaoke with Tara Solomon at Semper’s South Beach at 18. Saturdays, hitting the palacious Paragon (the original) on Saturday nights…sneaking in on Sundays past Jaime the door guy at the bathing in Padilla’s dream sets of love and fierceness at the Warsaw after an afternoon of drinking and block parties at the Palace and Torpedo’s. The Name FLH (short for Faide Link Harlequin) would surface at a significant stint as a manager at the then popular SPEC’S record chain in Coral Gables. His first gig, a residency at the Cactus in Downtown Miami, proved to be the bitch slap that would scar him for life and start the love affair with the headphones and machinery that have lasted throughout this day. His education with classical roots, world music, and technical acumen has ensured that his status is not that of just disc jockey but of artist. As a DJ, his sets are full of subliminal messages and love. As a person…so are his words…”I mostly quote other people when I talk because most of the time someone has already said it better than me…I think song lyrics make the best quotes…If someone would have told me that in order to change the world you had to sacrifice your sanity, I still would have said yes, but I would’ve asked why they didn’t send me a memo so I could be better prepared?”
