Welcome Part 2 of this rare opportunity to hang with SYNTH GOAT Mike Dean and mess around with all the instruments in his personal studio. Super-Tech Rob Rosen and I talk to Mike about a number of subjects including his: vocoder, stacking synths via MIDI, modified CS-80, modified Jupiter-8, Synth Template for Songwriting, working with Kanye, working with the Weeknd, drum machines, his favorite synths and more... Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, this is an opportunity you won't want to miss if you have even a passing interest in contemporary music.
Mike is best known for his synthesizer-heavy instrumentation, songwriting and audio mixing for high-profile music industry artists including The Weeknd, Beyoncé, Kanye West, Kid Cudi, Travis Scott, Jay-Z, Drake, Madonna, Selena Gomez, and Lana Del Rey, among others. Also, Mike was the opening act for The Weeknd's "The After Hours til Dawn Tour", performing live at stadiums on multiple synthesizers.
As a solo artist, Mike has released a series of critically acclaimed studio albums each showcasing his distinctive style and innovation: 4:20 (2020), 4:22 (2021), Smoke State 42222 (2022), 4:23 (2023), and most recently 424 (2024).
