Mickey Moonlight (aka. Midnight Mike, Mike Silver, Mike Sonovac, and Soft Verge) seems to be either against a commercial web presence or hasn't gotten there yet. His myspace has his tour dates, some tracks and a couple mixes, but no more. Discogs has a ton of entry's for many of his aliases, but most are obscure and forgotten techno or left-field karaoke-style covers. His website is either under construction or subtly jabbing a middle finger in your pineal gland, or both. Some larger more obvious points are that he co-produced Zongamin's self-titled LP in 2003, and in 2008 he was signed to less-than-mediocre electro-rock label Ed Banger Records.

As Mickey Moonlight he has a single called Interplanetary Music and an EP Love Pattern. But combined he only has 5 original songs out and they are not my cup of tea. A bit too, uh, different. I much prefer his remixes, of which there are many of top quality. I wont give much by way of introduction. If you like one I'll leave it up to you to connect the dots.


Clock Opera - A Piece of String (Mickey Moonlight Remix). This track is definitely in my top 3 at the moment. Click the download arrow to buy or check filestube for Piece of String Remixes A Piece Of String (Mickey Moonlight Remix) by clockopera


Circlesquare - Hey You Guys (Mickey Moonlight Remix)
{mediafire} {original and other remixes here}



Jack Penate - Tonight's Today (Mickey Moonlight Mix Pt. 1) (buy the ep and get the more upbeat Pt. 2 and a nice one from Leo Zero)(or just get Pt. 1 here)



Photonz - Our Fable (Mickey Moonlight Remix) (Glass Onion EP) Kinda has an Aerosmith Sweet Emotion riff vibe there.



Apollo Sunshine - Singing To The Earth (Mickey Moonlight Remix)



Findlay Brown - Everybody Needs Love (Mickey Moonlight Remix) (mediafire)


Tame Impala Make some pretty psychedelic indie-rock. I will go back and check to see if their music, other that the Solitude is Bliss single is worth sharing. Mickey remixed Solitude is Bliss, but maybe the Canyons one is my pick. Both are free downloads f you hit the arrow. The original video has its moments.

And here is a couple dj sets Mickey recently did.
July 2010


May 2010



He has completed a few remixes that are either out or will be sometime soon. The first is a remix for the New Young Pony Club's 'We Want To' that was supposed to be released with the We Want To EP in June, but wasn't. So keep your eyes peeled for it to be leaked or released on another NYPC EP, but you can hear a sample of it (and maybe buy it?) here.

Second is an upbeat synth-based remix of Acid Washed by Acid Washed, which you can stream on his facebook page and buy here.

Third is a remix of Forever Dolphin Love by Connan Mockasin, his and mine favourite new artist. More on that tomorrow.


If your still curious about Mickey, check out an interview he did with Asian Dan a couple years ago.
