here is some serious heat from a good friend of mnml ssgs, mike parker. unlike the two mixes he put together for us, this one is a live recording from when he played last december in tokyo. unfortunately i was not in japan at the time, but i did have the pleasure of seeing him spin about a month or so ago. wow. incredibly powerful, distinctive techno. when so many DJs and producers sound like carbon copies, it is so important there are people like mike parker cutting out their own sound. having seen him twice now, i can definitely say he is one of the must under-rated people in techno. he also gets bonus points for being an incredibly nice and humble guy. much respect.

mike will be touring europe 19 - 30 august this year, including his berlin debut (finally!). for all our berlin ssgs, definitely make sure to be at tresor on the 27th. he still has some open dates, anyone interested should contact: bookings@mym-tokyo.com
Mike is absolutely, mindblowingly, ridiculously awesome. His set early May at a private party was fucking MASSIVE!!! Some of the best trippy & deep hard techno I've EVER heard.
ReplyDeleteseriously, mike is one of the nicest guys around. he gives dozzy a run for his money as far as "most polite dj."
ReplyDeleteagree with everything said. Mike is LEGEND! his set at Mariana was fantastic - glad its getting a push! when will people who dont know him wake the f:&k up!!! (am myself aiming for the far more prestigious 'most impolite dj')!!!
ReplyDeletehis two 'little' mixes here are some of my favorite works of techno art. it will be interesting to here how he operates live... thanks for posting this.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fantastic night.
ReplyDeleteMike's set was a revelation!
Good to get to hear it again.
