Ryan Sadorus aka 'Ryski' began the label BerettaMusic and sub label Beretta Grey with label mate, Brian Kage. His productions range from quirky house numbers to full on techno funk and deep, moody tech house. Having grown up in the midwest and later traveling the world in the military has given him unique insight into his own life and into his own perception of electronic music. He has DJ'ed in Japan, Guam, Hawaii, and all over the U.S. including an appearance at Tronic Treatment in NYC and several times at Motor Detroit.  Ryan lived in California for 17 years and has recently in 2021 relocated back to the motherland, Detroit.  His level of wonderlust and living all over the world has given him a unique view of life and heavily influenced his music in every way, including the music and sounds of Japan, Detroit, Chicago and the deep soulful west coast vibes.  He has in 2021 recently relocated back to Detroit where he is closely collaborating with label mate Brian Kage and focused on bringing fresh new music to the world through their shared label BerettaMusic.

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.

Just an old dude from Guam 🧓 trying to stay relevant in this DJ game. A hobbyist at most, armed with beginner experience and a DDJ200 (I'm broke), I would rather be drinking at the bar while listening to other DJs with way better skills 😜. Enough jibber-jabber, play that funky music brown boy!
