In Conversation w/ Mike Schommer

In Conversation with Mike Schommer

I have a life-long obsession with music playing in punk bands and with drum machines as a kid, then playing bass in a dub collective and messing with 4 track recorders for a while until i bought an Atari and got into programming.  Then I got quite good at doing graphics and video for a living which sidelined my music. I have created artwork and videos for Jah Wobble, Zion Train, Alpha & Omega, Peshay and Mad Professor to name a few. 
I have experienced revolutions through music, punk, rave culture and the revolutionary spirit of reggae and dub, all of which have changed my life. 
My latest musical output is influenced by my emotions as I observe the collapse of an civilisation which seems determined to destroy the natural world as it crumbles, an empire that has us all tangled up it its mechanisms. Many are ignorant, some in denial but some of us are aware of the implications of humanity's greed and selfishness. 
How do we find enlightenment to live in the moment and make the small changes to make bigger ripples in this crazy world of distractions?
How can we even feel the truth through the layers of generational conditioning? 
Music is my release for these feelings, as honest and open as I can be from my own perspective. There will collaborations with people i meet or samples of things that inspire me.
I intend to release an album in 2019, but will post raw cuts of tracks as they emerge, they are not mastered or polished, I want them to feel immediate.

My philosophy as a DJ is simple. Seek out great tracks and pull them together in a way that moves the crowd. Heavy NYC Deep House, Detroit "Hi Tek Soul" influences...Pal Joey, Roger Sanchez, Frankie Knuckles, MAW, OG Detroit Techno, DJ Pierre, Sound Factory, Nell's, Shelter. Raised on vinyl but embracing the possibilities of digital. Hope you enjoy these offerings.
