About

Hi, I’m Mike Hiratzka. I’ve been producing and engineering electronic music since 1995, working both solo and with other artists. I specialize in music programming, mixing, and mastering, and I love collaborating on projects that span from live tours to video productions. Beyond music, I co-founded Music For Global Children, a nonprofit bringing music production education and equipment to underserved communities worldwide.

I also have hands-on experience with various DAWs, live music programming, and playback engineering for major artists such as Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, and Shakira. Through my own label, Nish Recordings, I continue to release and engineer original electronic music. Music has been my passion and career for nearly three decades, and I enjoy sharing that passion with others through both performance and education.
