it is with deep respect and love for his legacy, contributions to the Chicago music community, and overall incomparable demeanor that we present to you a very special smart mix by our friend TIM BAKER and his musical partner, fellow Michigander ADAM STOLZ. Tim passed away on 4/4/21 at the age of 53. he is missed dearly.

Tim was truly one-of-a-kind, a soul who valued greatly the imparting of wisdom and connecting with everyone with whom he crossed paths. he collected a large entourage through his varied and ambitious pursuits, both sonically and through his penchant for fashion, as evidenced by his brand and label, Elephanthaus.

a key force in The Saturday Mess events hosted in various venues around Chicago, Adam has released music on Black Nation Records and Prosthetic Pressings. he is just as comfortable and skilled mixing funk & soul as he is house or techno. Adam's sound is rooted in jazz, funk, and a deepness that is portrayed quite well here––befitting for a memorial, it’s uplifting, inspiring the listener to move and groove, as Tim would’ve wanted.

though he has transcended his earthly form to greener pastures, Tim leaves behind a large catalog of productions, including many with Adam, including their Rico & Sonny project, which is yet-to-be-released. we look forward to sharing in Tim’s creations, a gift that will continue to give, just as he did.

At the end of the 1990s, Mike Grant re-emerged as one of the leading figures in Detroit’s growing house scene after spending the majority of the decade and late ‘80s pursuing other ambitions. When Grant’s fresh Moods & Grooves label began raising more than a few eyebrows with its catalog of releases by many of Detroit’s best house producers, few knew that he has been a key figure in the Motor City’s early to mid-‘80s electronic dance scene as a talented DJ.  Grant is one of the few Detroit DJs who plays complete deep house/house or techno sets as well as a mixture.  While traveling throughout Europe Grant earned the distinction as being the first American DJ to have a residency at Tresor Club in Berlin.

Grant’s musical career began at an early age, influenced by Detroit’s fledging music scene and his uncle, the general manager at a local R&B/dance radio station, WKWM. By 1980, the young Grant had joined a DJ collective known as Men of Music while becoming close friends with schoolmate Blake Baxter. Baxter showed Grant the art of beat mixing while the two made mix tapes after school, and Grant eventually joined Baxter’s DJ group, The Beat Sound Company. A few years later in 1983, Grant was scoring club residencies in Detroit alongside legends such as Ken Collier and also managed to make appearances on The Scene, a video dance show on WGPR alongside even more local DJs such as Jeff Mills.
 
During this mid-‘80s era, Grant’s reputation as one of the city’s top DJs led to eventual friendships and partnerships with many of that eras other top DJs, most notably Eddie Fowlkes, Derrick May, and Juan Atkins. During the summer of 1985, he became a member of Detroit’s first radio mix show, “Street Beat,” where the foundation for what would later become early Detroit techno was ultimately formed.  Prior to the Street Beat show, Grant made a commitment to join the military not knowing what doors would eventually open.

During this time in the military, he continued to DJ on the base and in Seattle, where he introduced the sounds of Detroit techno to the unsuspecting West Coast. 
Following his time in the military, Grant then studied telecommunications in Chicago and began his career in this same field, while occasionally returning to his hometown for the occasional performance.

In the late ‘90s, Grant planned his return, beginning with a recording as Black Noise on Metroplex Records, titled “Nature of the Beast.”  Rather than just DJ and produce tracks, he went to the lengths of starting his own label, Moods & Grooves, and began releasing the work of his peers as well as his own. By mid-2000, the label had received substantial acclaim – including a high-profile appearance by Grant at the landmark Detroit Electronic Music Festival.  In 2001 Grant launched the techno based label End to End and urban sounding Afrosyntrix.  Additionally, he’s remixed the Detroit classic “Sharevari,” been selected to perform at Midem’s Electronic Showcase, selected and participated in DEMF/Movement, and included in the “Techno – Detroit’s Gift To the World” exhibit at the Detroit Historical Museum.
