Mike is known for having a deep selection of tracks past to brand new, mixing quickly, and keeping a high energy level for partiers on the dancefloor. He began spinning crates of records at parties, raves, and clubs in Michigan and Indiana. By the late 2000s he relocated to Hartford, Connecticut and connected with members of the local scene there. Detroit Mike has developed his style over more than 15 years behind the decks. Starting with a foundation of Drum & Bass and Jungle, Mike continued to grow his selection of bass-heavy beats over the years with Rave, Juke and Footwork styles, mashing it all up with urban sounds of Hip Hop and Reggae.
