[Michigander / Craigie Knowes / Upstairs Asylum]
Meet Brian Kage: an audio architect of the Detroit’s ongoing renaissance.  Kage’s career has been a love letter to authentic Detroit Techno, earning him a spot on DJ Magazine’s “10 Detroit Producers Keeping the Sound of the Motor City Alive.” His music spans top-tier labels like Michigander, Freerange, Craigie Knowes, Upstairs Asylum, Rekids, FXHE, Planet-E, Beretta Music and more, making him an in-demand name in the techno and house world. 

Kage’s debut album, Timeless Times, is exactly what it promises—a time-traveling journey through Detroit’s underground, blending classic house grooves with a fresh techno edge. This 19-track ride has received praise from Resident Advisor, BanTanTan, Blues & Soul UK, and others.

Kage isn’t just a solo act; he’s also part of Reference with Detroit’s Luke Hess, Airport Society with Beretta Music’s Ryan Sadorus, and Escape Driver, a synth-wave collaboration with Jon-Paul Bakaric. And yes, Kage even produces for none other than the Insane Clown Posse as Kuma. Whoop whoop! When he’s not crafting his own beats, Kage is at KageMastering, mixing and mastering music for both local legends and international stars.

Through his beats, projects, and mentorship, Brian Kage stands as a cornerstone of Detroit’s evolving soundscape,—rooted in its storied past yet propelling it toward a dynamic future.
