Far reaching low disturbances charge finite particles through futuristic ensemble of symphonic voices that eject and soar beyond rhythmic deep pulsed out percussion. Formation identifies itself as the biochemistry discharge left surrounded in a timeless stillness…a stillness that is Slam Mode

The soundscape therapists explore deeper in the abyss of fusion and expressionism…The silent monolith like label, Desvio is once again providing the chemical ingredients appropriate for spawning such imaginative range and spectrum. Slam Mode has set out to create new paths with their own unique production and mixing style, with the intent of elevating themselves and their listeners to unlimited levels of consciousness.

Our approach is one of collective and collaborative efforts." It is the way we live and produce muzica. Our belief is to communicate and translate all types of music to the listener, buyer and dancer.

Slam Mode a.k.a. Angel Rodriguez and Michael Cole  have been spinning and collecting muzica since as early as 1979. They have an extensive collection of music which stem from genres such as Salsa, Afro Beat, Latin Jazz, Reggae, Minimal and Deep Tech,  Drum n' Bass, New Age, Electronica, Ambient soundscapes and countless of film scores…just to name a few.


[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.
