About Me

Midnight Mike was born at the stroke of midnight, on a full-moon, during a lightning storm. His head was gripped by cold steel as he was pulled screaming into a cruel world.
All recordings and mix-downs take place during the midnight hour, with vocals only performed at full-moon.
Midnight Mike started Flesh Records in 2000 releasing fantastic records by Zongamin , Jendreiko, The Typicals and The Helen Lundy Trio. Mike co-produced Zongamin's Tunnel Music 12" and Zongamin's highly acclaimed debut album.
Some of the artists Midnight Mike has remixed; Colorsound, Playgroup, Captain Comatose, Caged Baby, Colder, Issakidis and Munk.
Some of the venues Midnight Mike has performed at; The Great Eastern Hotel in London, Le Pulp in Paris, Luxx in New York, Culture Club in Gent, Optimo in Glasgow and Trash in London.
"Will rock many an unsuspecting dancefloor." NME
"The Various mixes of forthcoming single Round and Around reference 30 years of sonic and moral deviancy; the sweat soaked walls of The Music Box, ESG, the back rooms of SF gay clubs, Grace Jones, Soft Cell, Moodymans tricksy explorations, while rocking a hypnotic minimal groove." iD
"A sublime concoction of digital bubblegum sleaze and wiry oblique electronica, it recalls Electronic meeting Jane Birkin down a suburban roller disco." Jockey Slut
"Midnight Drive is by far the best thing the producer's done, in my opinion. He describes it perfectly as a "pompous, monstrous, comic book techno caricature"; or it could easily be the missing link between Legowelt and Wolfgang Voigt, perhaps even the Doctor Who theme scored by Goblin. Either way, like everything on this label, it's an essential purchase." Piers Martin, Vice
