Mike Grant is a true Detroit dance music originator. From his beginnings as a DJ in the early 80s, Mike has been a part of many classic institutions while still managing to walk a unique path. Whether it was one of the first DJs to have their mixes played for dancers on TV (WGPR’s The Scene), the first American DJ to secure a residency at the world-famous Tresor Club in Berlin, one of Detroit’s first radio mix show DJs as part of the “Street Beat” crew, included in the Detroit Historical Museum’s exhibit “Techno: Detroit’s Gift to the World,” or running the Metroplex label and shop, the diversity and quality of his output allow him to stand out.

As founder of the legendary Moods & Grooves record label, Mike has released music from some of the biggest and best names in deep house while also breaking fresh young artists into the scene. Mike’s music productions run the gamut of styles, making classic techno for Metroplex and his End-to-End label under the Black Noise moniker, and soulful deep house under his name. He also started the Cool Peepl project as a way for him to try his hand at orchestrating jam sessions between new and established Detroit musicians to create a more organic vibe. The results so far include a jazzy cover of the Detroit classic “Sharevari” and his original funky broken beat production “Free,” with more to come.

Mike perfected his DJ skills in some of Detroit's significant club venues/events: The Downstairs Pub, Studio 54, Music Institute, L’uomo, Cheeks, Motor Lounge, and the inaugural Detroit Electronic Music Festival. But in 1985, he committed to join the Army, unaware of the doors that would eventually open. While in the military, Mike continued to DJ on the base and in Seattle, where he introduced the sounds of Detroit techno to the unsuspecting West Coast, garnering a well-earned new audience. He wanted to stay involved in music and did promotional work for Metroplex Records. Mike gave the record “Technicolor” to an associate of Sir Mix-a-Lot who sampled it for the huge hit “Baby Got Back.” Additionally, Grant applied his technical talents in managing the Kandahar Gospel ministry while deployed for a year to Afghanistan, earning the Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal.

While his work could easily take up a lifetime, Mike accomplished much while dedicating a large part of the 1980s and 90s to military service. Mike Grant’s dedication to the art form and self-discipline has created quite a legacy, and he continues to push forward to keep enriching that legacy.

Felix Dickinson - 03.06.25

It was a very special warm night in Ibiza when we hosted OpenLab x Pikes Presents at 528 Ibiza

Ron Trent had just left an ecstatic crowd applauding in the amphitheatre so no pressure for Ralph Lawson opening up the club inside straight after!

Being a radio station we always like to record and stream when possible so the recorder was firmly in place to capture RL Live at 528 for the first ever time.

OpenLab x Pikes Presents - Ralph Lawson Live at 528 Ibiza

There can't be many acts with as wide an appeal as Sheffield producer and artist Yarni. The late, great Andrew Weatherall was fond of dropping his tunes, Gilles Peterson and Luke Una are fans, and radio types Craig Charles and Huey Morgan are often known to slide one into their 6Music schedules.

He's just announced what he's calling his most ambitious project to date, "Anemoia," an album exploring the Greek concept of nostalgia for a time never known, collaborating with ten musicians and vocalists across ten tracks that weave disco, soul, jazz-funk, hip-hop and trip-hop into a thoroughly modern tapestry. "This isn't about recreating the past, but channeling its spirit into something new," he says.

It's set for an October release on Stanhope Records, with a string of teaser singles to keep an eye out for in the meantime. But us being the impatient types that we are, we persuaded him to take to the decks for a mix session right here, right now...

In The Mix: Yarni

One of my personal highlights of 2012 was to play again at the wonderful Zukunft club in Zürich along with my buddies Alex Dallas, Soultourist and John Daly. John recorded both of our live shows with a mic that was set near the turntables, so you can hear the music AND the crowd. It's the real deal! 
Equipment: Mac Laptop, Roland TR-909, Moog Minitaur, M-Audio Trigger Finger & Echo Soundcard.
Tracks: "Free To Grow" (Remix), "Vibrations", "A Night At The Zukunft" (of course!), "Karasu" and "Turn Off The Light".
Special thanks to John Daly for recording this session!
