MIKE SHANNON
OG of Canadian minimal techno, Mike Shannon rose fast from Ontario’s underground to global stages. Born in Ontario and DJing since his teens, his reputation caught the attention of Richie Hawtin’s Plus 8, setting the stage for a lifelong journey at the forefront of minimal techno. Founder of Cynosure and Haunt, he's shaped the genre with deep, jazz-infused grooves and modular magic.
Now based in Berlin, Shannon runs Cynosure and Haunt Recordings, pushing jazz-laced minimalism and modular synth wizardry. A true craftsman, his work blends deep artistry with cutting-edge sound design — always evolving, always ahead.
