Previously playing in the group “Through the looking glass” Micah was exploring sounds and textures of free form , experimental, electronic, Idm. “ we were using the electronic tools we had to build layers and textures in the moment, then capture it with recordings.” Explains Micah.” With dropa I use some of the same tools and elements but with more structure and purpose. I wanted to make people think when they heard the music. The same time I wanted them to escape and dance.” With past influences ranging from lou reed, David Bowie, Pink Floyde, New Order, The Cure, Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, Hum, Four Tet, Junior Boys, M83 and hundreds of more .
