Micho aka Detronik is native to Detroit’s underground since the inception of electro. Micho began doing live visual mixing in the early 90’s with his project Inter Animi, one of Detroit’s most innovative Performance Art troops. Starting in the mid 90’s and into the next millennium; Micho formulated a series of installations that integrated electronic visual devices to Detroit’s progressive sound. Eventually Micho started being featured as a regular “VJ” at the world renowned motor lounge creating massive television structures and implementing a surveillance network which would encompass the dj/performer giving a new perspective to the sound. By mid 1996 in the shadow of his media space Critical, deep within the underbelly of Detroit’s eastern market, ascended Detronik. From the blood stained floors and vast tunnels of the vacated slaughterhouse, Micho scavenged an army of recovered televisions and resurrected surveillance cameras from abandoned police precincts to mobilize an aggressive new visionary force. In the late 90’s and early 2000’s Detronik spread its roots as a visual manipulator hijacking television systems and constructing a more formidable visual architecture throughout Metro Detroit’s after hour venues and establishments. Today, Detronik still uses many of the original methods adopted from the early 90’s running a full arsenal of surveillance cameras while mixing images live. Micho’s mixes are vengeful and aggressive, a blatant assault for the viewer, completing the sensory experience with lo-fidelity, contrast, and bleak imagery of a mediated reality and Detroit’s underworld.

Micho provided visuals for almost every name in Detroit’s electronic revolutionary history including many from UR, Submerge, Transmat, Planet E, and Plus 8. Detronik has also carried his vision worldwide through collaborations with Funkstorung, Polar, Sven Vath as well as many others. With a list of accomplishments this long, the future looks as bright as it can through a hijacked surveillance camera.
