Mike je leta 2004 reformiral svoj glasbeni stil, ki še vedno temelji na osnovi klaviatur, vendar je zven banda drugačen, modernejši.

Originalne skladbe so osvežene z modernim stilom, s koreninami v soulu, R&B in bazirajo na akustiki.

Leta 2005 je Mike v okviru projekta Kakanic Blues z imenom - Central Europe Blues Convention - izdal zgoščenko in DVD, pri katerem so sodelovali odlični glasbeniki s tega področja in specialni gost Carl Verheyen.

Leta 2007 je izdal novo zgoščenko -Kakanic Blues 2.0- , na kateri je sodelovalo of 25 glasbenikov iz Italije, Austrije, Slovenije, Hrvaške, Srbije, Madžarske, Irske, Velike Britanije in ZDA.
