Mike Derer is known for his deeper, rhythmic, hypnotic, psychedelic and spaced out grooves when it comes his DJ sets and producing. In 2016 he started his monthly Northern Parallels club nights that hosted over 60 events in the span of 6 years at Rozz-Tox.  In 2018 he started his label, Northern Parallels focusing on forward thinking techno.

Northern Parallels has played a vital role in the curation and sustainment of the Midwest Techno movement over the last several years. From its influence across dance floors and party promotions dotting the Midwest and beyond, all the way to the esteemed releases and producers that have found their way into the labels roster, Mike has lead the charge in creating a household name in Techno that stands apart from the rest in it’s own unique way. This has led to an illustrious back catalog of some of the best to create Techno in both the modern and early age of the genre putting their works into remix and original content over the past 25 releases to date.

✨🔮 For me, music is emotion 💓, connection 🔗, inspiration 💡, escape 🚀, history 📜, expression 🎭, rhythm 🥁, harmony 🎶, culture 🌍, life 🌱.

It is the echo of the universe 🌌 vibrating in the soul 🌀, the bridge 🌉 between the earthly 🌿 and the divine 🕊️.

It is the language without borders 🚪🚫, where each note 🎼 is a whisper of the infinite ♾️ and each melody 🎶 a path 🛤️ to eternity ⏳.

In its frequency 📡, I find refuge ⛩️; in its essence ☯️, I discover who I am 👁️.
