Tranquility Bass began as a duo consisting of Mike Kandel and an unnamed partner. Kandel, born on May 19, 1967, in Chicago, Illinois, and who passed away on May 17, 2015, in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, and his partner released three EPs under their own label before parting ways, leading to a hiatus for the label. Kandel moved to Lopez Island to record "Let The Freak Flag Fly," while his partner relocated to Arizona, where the project was reimagined. By 1997, Tranquility Bass had transitioned into a solo project for Kandel, while his former partner, now back in Los Angeles, managed a revived Exist Dance. Under the larger imprint Astralwerks, Kandel released "Freak Flag" and several 12-inch records, gaining a larger following than ever before. Known affectionately as 'Uncle Mike' by friends and family, Kandel's music has been categorized as ambient house, trip hop, and funk rock.
