MIKERAT

This is MikeRat (Michael Pendergast), Slam Academy’s original ninja.  Across dozens of original tunes, he has become a heavy hitter in the Minneapolis glitch-hop scene.  A resident performer of Infrasound, his sets are fun, bright, and absolutely riddled with samples from old kung-fu movies.  His “write from the heart” approach to producing music (and life) has created a wildly unique and energetic style, which he affectionately has dubbed “sneaky bass”.  And as one of the longest running instructors at Slam, he has transferred a lot of that passion into a love for teaching.
