Haji Mike, Dub Poet and Producer.
Poet, DJ, Radio Presenter and Assistant Professor, Haji
Mike is a unique recording artist and spoken word performer. Dub Poetry
is his favoured medium of expression although his earlier works were
more MC/world fusion with a hybrid form of dancehall music from Cyprus
via London. And he has collaborated with a wide range of artists including:
Producer Simon Emmerson, the acid-jazz funk band Izit, Greek Rappers
Imiskoubria and more recently the Cyprus songstress Lia Vissy.
Over the last 10 years Haji Mike has been working more through collaborations
on the net with Standout Selector (USA), Bandulu Dub (Portugal), Jah
Billah (Croatia), Spill The Milk (UK) and Sonic Crime (Greece &
Cyprus).
In 2009 he connected in a virtual sense with innovative producer Dub
Caravan. Their collaborative work, the CD ‘Virtual Oasis’
was recorded and produced entirely online. You can hear this work at www.dubcaravan.com
Haji Mike also produces a weekly radio show, OuterNational and teaches
Communications at The University of Nicosia. |
