everyone throwing the word underrated around too much these days but MIKE DEAN is an example of someone who is actually underrated. Literally one of the biggest geniuses in the music industry.

[@Joeri20cm]

Mike Dean would be like your super chill and cool uncle who can tell stories for days and learn you everything you need to know about producing. It's crazy he is 60 in two years and still is so in touch with the music of young people! Probably (almost certain) because he producers a lot for really big artists and is a huge influence on the sound of course.
