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, Craigie Knowes, Upstairs Asylum, Rekids, FXHE, Planet-E, Freerange, and more, making him an in-demand name in the techno and house world.

Brian Kage’s debut album, Timeless Times, delivers on its promise: a time-traveling deep dive into Detroit’s underground, seamlessly blending classic house grooves with a modern techno edge. The 19-track project has earned critical acclaim from Resident Advisor, BanTanTan, and Blues & Soul UK.

Beyond his solo work, Kage collaborates as Reference alongside Luke Hess, powers the synthwave group Escape Driver with singer/guitarist Jon-Paul Bakaric, and crafts beats for the Insane Clown Posse under his Kuma alias (Whoop whoop!). Off stage, he operates Kage Mastering, shaping the sound of local icons and international artists alike. Through his releases, studio work, and mentorship, Kage remains a vital pillar of Detroit’s evolving electronic music landscape.
