BirdPen Business Manager
BirdPen is an English duo formed by Dave Pen (guitarist-vocalist in Archive) and Mike Bird (Archive guitarist). Their music blends alternative rock, electronics and atmospheric textures with strong songwriting. Building on our relationship of almost two decades, I support BirdPen in their creative journey and in finding partners where I can.
Little Hell Production presents
THE RUN AGAIN SHOW
Special evening at the Grand REX, November 12, 2025, at 8 p.m.
A grand evening of sports and music for the Paris premiere of the documentary RUN AGAIN.
With special appearances by the band Archive, Dave Pen, and the entire film crew.
“With a sound that draws comparisons with the likes of Wire, My Bloody Valentine and Radiohead amongst many others, BirdPen bring together a distinctive blend of distorted psychedelic guitars, strong base lines, experimental electronica and Krautrock often creating cinematic and uplifting moods, albeit with a defined narrative to deliver. And having received a nomination for Best European Independent Album at the IMPALA Awards for a previous album, there is a clear indication that this is a band on the right path. Strangely it appears that BirdPen are more widely acknowledged across the European continent than in their own backyard in the UK so there is still much to unlock from their undoubted potential. It may be that All Function One is just the album to do that and you are well advised to have a listen.”

Mye_Taai Business Manager
Mye_Taai are a rave club punk duo + 1. Empowered by stories, told through grim basement rave club tunes with bits of their own. We met on the plane home from Tallinn Music Week and are neighbours. What better reason to work together? Sometimes, it's just meant to be. I love this band's energy and work ethic.
"Who the f k is Barry? Who the f k is Mike? Who the f k is Rik? And what the f k is a Mye_Taai? It’s all-day authentic, it’s original, it’s for the future. You’ll get it in five years or sooner than that. No apologies, no filter. A big celebration, error and ultra parties. And it is: we just do."
- Mye_Taai from The Hague, NL - "Rave Club Punk"
"A punk vibe drenched in electronics, incredibly nimble fingers on the controls, and a singer who conjures something new from his vocal arsenal with every line, almost seeming to speak sign language with his hand movements..."

Testimonial
“Mika and I have been collaborating for many years. He is not your typical artist manager. Mika devotes genuine, no-strings-attached time and encouragement to many people. He is my go-to advisor on management technicalities, always honest and consistently putting the interests of others before his own.”
