It is our pleasure to announce the latest in the free download series from Michigander Music founder, Brian Kage. Flying the flag from Detroit mixing with the likes of Omar S, Norm Talley and Delano Smith it was a no brainer to host Kage on the series. This is "Learn To Surrender", a deep meandering cut for the hazy hours of the night.

**Sorry, we are not accepting demos.**   Michigander is a techno, house, and dance label founded by Detroit DJ & Producer Brian Kage. Michigander was established to showcase Brian's music, and how the state of Michigan has played a role in influencing his music.

[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.

Bio musicale:

At first beaucoup d'influences sonores dès mon plus jeune age
Soul, Funk, Hip-Hop & Breakdance...mais aussi pas mal de New-Wave, d'Indus et de Rock.
Mais rien ne laissait présager la révolution musicale qui allait arrivé à l'aube de mes 15 ans !!!

Je me suis pris une grosse claque dans la gueule en 1986!!!
Zappant sur les ondes radiophonique je tomba sur un morceau qui allait bouleversé ma vie à tout jamais: "love can't turn around" de Farley Jackmaster Funk... 
Un son jamais entendu auparavant, un son qui semblait venir d'une autre planète, une autre dimension!!!
Une semaine plus tard j'allais à la fnac du coin à la quète de ce précieux vinyle et là je mis la main sur ce fameux skeud sorti sur le label Dj International rec.
La suite s'enchainera très vite: 1ère compile sorti sur ce mème label: "The House Music Of Chicago"...
Et l'onde de choc continuera: "jack your body" de Steve Silk Hurley; "move your body" de Marshall Jefferson; "mystery of love" de Fingers Inc.; "shadows of your love" de J M Silk; etc...etc
A l'époque pas d'internet et les médias passaient sous silence ce qu'ils considéraient déjà comme un simple effet de mode, donc trouvé des vinyles relevait d'un vrai parcours du combattant. Parcours du combattant qui allait vite se revèler ètre une véritable passion...
Aujourd'hui encore mon passe temps favori est de trainer des journées entières dans les shops de skeuds à m'en foutre pleins les oreilles et fouiller encore et encore à la recherche des vinyles qui manqueraient à ma collection!!!
