In 1993, Mike formed the techno / trance project Trybet with his friend and long time collaborator Aric Rist. They released their first record on Defective in '94, and have since become one of the most prolific groups on the label, releasing two more 12" e.p.'s, a double 12" e.p., and a remix on the DJ Who remix compilation double 12". In addition, Trybet licensed material to the German magazine Groove for their 5th anniversary compilation CD, which featured the likes of Emmanuel Top, DJ Hell, and Mike Dearborn, among others. In addition, they licensed material to the German label Virtual Recordings (previously Labworks Records), which was released in vinyl e.p. format, and which featured remixes by Holger "Hoschi" Wick and Woody McBride.

Mike Parker has a deep respect for the "old school" of repetitive electronic beat music... Kraftwerk, Throbbing Gristle and Tangerine Dream are some of his early influences. It's because of these influences that Mike creates a dark atmosphere that is difficult to describe within the established techno genres. He combines the sound of dark trance with break beats that might be called "?"... Listen to Mike's remix of DJ Who's "Give A Little More" on DR.018 to see what we mean. Mike's got strong DJ'ing skills too, and when on the turntables, he spins an eclectic mix of dark electro-trance. His live performances are even weirder...
