We'll miss you Captain Mike
This program is lovingly dedicated to our founder and friend, Michael E.A. Wilkinson, whose untimely passing has left a void in all of our lives. Music was a way of life for Michael and was his way of communicating with the ones he loved. This dedication to music, combined with a unique sense of humor and an irreverent outlook on life, touched everyone around him and has left us all much to remember. As the man responsible for keeping us on the dance floor throughout the first 100 Disconet programs, the Captain, as many of us have known him, lived every moment with an intense fervor.
As a friend so beautifully put it… "Michael was a pioneer in dance music who championed and nurtured the DJ's wish for artistic expression in remixing. He opened the boundries of what we consider club music, always accepting new genres as worthy of a try on the turntable. We have not only lost a friend, but a person who made a real and lasting contribution to the art form of dance music."
As a student of life, Michael was also a great teacher.
Michael E.A. Wilkinson April 19, 1945 - May 10, 1986
