Listen "Episode 14 –The Martian - Skypainter"
Episode Synopsis
It’s 1994, and Mike Banks coaches a local high school baseball team in Detroit. In fulfilling this role, he is reportedly more than just a coach, taking on other mentoring responsibilities with many of the young players and providing advice on what they might do with their lives. Banks is also an electronic music artist, and founder of the renowned Detroit music collective, Underground Resistance. Given their strong political and anti-corporate beliefs, Banks and his Underground Resistance co-artists rarely speak to the media about their music. The result of this is that despite Underground Resistance’s increasing notoriety and influence, little is known about the artists themselves. This means that when a secretive techno producer called The Martian starts releasing music, and rumours spread that The Martian is actually Banks, it is not possible to confirm whether he is in fact the author of The Martian’s tracks, such as “Skypainter”.
