Biography

Mike Ladd has collaborated with several artists including Company Flow, Saul Williams, MURS, Terranova, Cannibal Ox, Roots Manuva, Ultra Living, DJ Mehdi, Ken Ishii, Reptiles and others plus has remixed songs for the likes of Yo La Tengo, Anti Pop Consortium and Enrico Macias. He began his musical career in a punk rock band and through the years has fused a combination of genres, from poetics to hip hop to electronic to Afro punk, in a way that few others have. First signed to Scratchie/Mercury Records by the Smashing Pumpkins, he has assembled a body of work rare amongst his peers and influenced indie music in ways still yet to be seen. In the tradition of Parliament Funkadelic, Charles Stepney, Gil Scott Heron, The Bad Brains, and Public Enemy, Mike Ladd exists unquestionably at the heart of New York’s progressive black music movement. He has toured extensively throughout America and Europe and in the process established a cult following. He has made 10 records all of which are a pain in the ass to find, contact him here and cut-short the search.
