As the world watches the renaissance and revival of Detroit, it listens for the sound of those carrying the torch of authentic Motor City-born techno into the future. Brian Kage is one of those innovators leading Detroit’s electronic music forward into the musical zeitgeist of change and revolution.

Kage was recently crowned one of DJ magazine’s “10 Detroit Producers Keeping the Sound of the Motor City Alive.”

Detroit born-and-raised Kage co-founded record label Beretta Music, through which he mentored and helped shape the careers of many internationally respected DJs and producers. Kage has also released well-received music on Omar S’s record label FXHE, Carl Craig’s Planet-E, Steve Bug’s PokerFlat, Rob Modell’s Echospace, and many more. Kage’s “DetroitLuv” record was featured and played on BBC Radio 1’s Essential Mix by Richie Hawtin and Ricardo Villalobos.

Kage’s “The Arc EP,” released on his own Michigander label, pays tribute to Detroit with its uplifting melodic techno style. “The Arc EP” was also featured and praised on Resident Advisor’s “New Tracks” list. Additionally, DJ magazine praised his collaboration with vocalist James Garcia, ‘Shut Your Eyes’, as “one of 2015’s best house tracks.”

When he’s not working on his own music, Brian is working alongside local and international acts to mix, master and engineer their music with “KageMastering.”
