About Me


"However good a producer you are, believe me , however hot you might be
if you don't work with the right people, you don't get hits!"

He signed his first record deal with the Eurodance-Band ACTIVATE in 1993

25 in the german media control charts.
In 1995 Mike Griesheimer and Thomas Detert founded
ACTIVATE music productions and ACTIVATE music publishing.
At the end of 1997 , Mike and Thomas created the techno group 666
which is their best selling production so far.
