Although a year has passed, I want to add a couple of my thoughts. This is for beginners looking to get closer to Mike's style. This is one of the possible ways. For synthesizers, if we are considering VST plugins there is a good plugin Khords from Loopmasters. It has many interesting sounds and is easy to use. And automation is very important. There is also a VST aparillo. I even saw him on Mike's streams. However, there are many different interesting synthesizers, these are not the only ones.
You can use slow motion breakbeat loops to get drums like Mike's. For example a 160 bpm loop, slow down to 80 bpm. This usually works. There are also VST drum machines, but loops are enough.
In recent years appeared many drum packs. Many of them sound good, pick from them the samples you like and practice arranging them in interesting orders. This is a very important and necessary work. Analyzing drum loops and drum parts in your favorite songs helps a lot.
He also likes to use a guitar, but it's better to have a real one. Virtual is much worse. At least I haven't heard anything worthy in all the time.
