After disbanding Mike began to dedicate his time and effort in perfecting his obvious talent for music production, concentrating mostly on electronic music. In 2002 he then founded Synthetic Productions.\r Mike soon began producing dance tracks for the Swiss Dance Industry and gradually Synthetic Productions rose to become one of Switzerland’s biggest Production Agencies, producing leading dance acts followed by releases on labels such as Ministry of Sound, Sony BMG and Kontor, giving him the final breakthrough outside of the Swiss market.\r Now, after his fusion with Panevino Entertainment things can only get bigger…..!\r \r In 2011 Mike decided to pursue his solo career under the alias 'Schuhmacher', to show the world his talent for techno music.Iin his first 12 months he has already established himself as one of the brightest stars in EDM industry, with releases on Umeks 1605 Music Therapy and Tomcrafts Great Stuff Records under his belt it has been a great start to his journey to the top.
