Mikooshka is a musician and producer from Toronto, Canada.

He combines programming, sampling, and live instruments to create a modern musical sound. 

Mikooshka, aka designer Mike Simpson, like to mix up his music – we’ve got left-field beats, a little electronic rock, reggae/dub, punk/funk, hip-hop and world vibes thrown into the mix.

In 2009 he released Construct Deconstruct Reconstruct. It will soon be available as a free download.

In summer 2013 Mikooshka will release an EP that features tracks “Alright Kids / The Night Kids,” and “Streets are for People.” He has collaborated with musicians from varied genres including John T. Davis (blues/jazz), Jeff Simpson (rock/classical) Paul Schedlich (rock/indie), and singers / performance artists Grey Coyote and Ulysses Castellanos.
