Review by BRUCE1991 Oct 20, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
What can i say about Mike...
He is one of my all time prefered producer, the heir of Armando and Mike Dunn, 100% CHICAGO.
I like the beginning with George Perry and of course the Djax-Up-Beats era.
Something seems to have changed in his sound since 1996.
Anyway, Mike has a unique sound, a unique way of making drum patterns with his analogical machines.
He's the king of the 909 snare drum.
I remember a time of genius tracks, just made with a fist full of machines, sometimes industrial, acid and hard, sometimes minimal moody and mental but allways groovy.
If i want to unwind i put the needle on the "Razorsharp", "Moments" and "Jaws" ep's (it's my therapy).Mike can be considered a major figure of the Chicagoan scene, without a doubt.

Review by LaKing Dec 02, 2003
Mike makes classic dry Techno. I specially like the releases on DJAX UP BEATS. He is not using the 303 sheme, but the 808-909 Drums are always there. The syth themes are simple and rockin... So he is musically one of the bests on DJAX UP. I think his own label wasent a success, so he should go back to miss DJAX.
