# Mad Mike

Mad Mike, de son vrai nom Michael Anthony Banks, né en 1961, est un compositeur et producteur de techno de Détroit. Il est l'un des créateurs — avec Jeff Mills, Robert Hood et Darwin Hall — du label Underground Resistance.

Ses racines musicales s'ancrent aussi bien dans le Gospel et le Funk que dans la musique de Kraftwerk ou Jaco Pastorius.

En 1992, il fonde avec Christa Robinson l'entreprise Submerge, organisme de distribution dédié aux labels électroniques indépendants de Détroit.

Il est connu pour son indépendance d'esprit et son goût de l'anonymat. Il a coproduit et composé de nombreux morceaux sur les labels Underground Resistance, Los Hermanos, Red Planet et Submerge Recordings.

Il a produit entre autres sous les noms de Underground Resistance, The Martian, Members Of The House, Galaxy 2 Galaxy, L'Homme Van Renn.
