In the past nine years Montreal-hailing Mike Shannon has gone from being hotly-tipped to being world-renowned, rapidly establishing himself as one of the most reliable and dancefloor-curdling techno DJ/producers in the galaxy.
His career began at the front-end of this century with the release of 'Sunaj Assassins' on his own Cynosure imprint. Cynosure is a by-word for quality experimental techno, releasing records by Shannon himself as well as the likes of Deadbeat, Mark Henning and Brett Johnson. Shannon has gone on to record for a number of other celebrated labels including Wagon Repair and Dumb-Unit. In 2002 he released his debut album on the legendary Force Inc; it was followed in 2006 by Possible Conclusions To Stories That Never End for Scape, and most recently came the excellent Memory Tree, recorded for Hawtin's Plus8.
With a glitchy, swinging sound that proves there's still plenty of life in minimal techno if it's done right, Shannon is always an enthralling listening. His mix for FACT is essentially a "best of Cynosure", featuring seven Shannon productions alongside tracks from Monoblock, SLG, Sieg Uber Die Sonner and more. It's pretty fucking good.
