Somewhere in the suburban monotony of Detroit, Michigan's metro-area, lives Mike Hanlon, artist and musician. Having been recording music for nearly 8 years, Mike's music spans a number of genres including electro, chipstyle, idm, 80's pop and techno. Responsible for conceptualizing and building 8bitpeoples with fellow member Jeremiah Johnson (nullsleep), the vintage videogame sounds, as well as other influences that give his music a style all his own, are more than apparent in many of Mike's recordings. Recently, Mike has been bringing his latest music to the dancefloor, with suburban translations of pop songs past, and original nostalgic speaker treats that leave the hordes of his teenage fans remembering their raids on their older sibling's tape collections. Alongside 8bitpeoples, Mike Hanlon also records under the same Tangible alias for Pi-Gao Movement, a label created and run by Detroit's own Ultradyne. Mike is also a traditional style illustrator and visual artist, bringing his often "swirling" ideas to other mediums.
"I just try to allow my creative endeavors to act as an archive of my personal interests future, present and past," Mike says, "It's kind of my way of remembering who I am."
