Keep The Music Free!

Mike Monday

Electronic music since 1994

I've been producing electronic music for 16 years. Over that time I've released many Mike Monday singles and remixes as well as a couple of albums, all on traditional record labels.

But in that time every facet of the music industry from creation to distribution has been turned on its head.

This site is an experiment to see if owning the means of distribution (as well as production) will allow me to continue making a living doing what I love, which is writing, producing and performing electronic music.

My first big project is to write and release a free new track every Monday for 10 weeks, which will make up my next album. Its a new way for me to compose, produce and distribute my music. I'm intentionally putting myself under pressure as at the start of the project I hadn't finished (or really even started) the music, I'm be writing each track each week.

I'm documenting the whole experience regularly in my in my studio diary, and if you're interested in electronic music production you may find some interesting insights into the music production process there.
