Brian Kage (Pronounced Ka-ghei), is a deep tech-house Producer/DJ from Detroit. Deep, mellow, funky, driving, and passionate are all words that describe the sound of Kage. Kage's music has already had an impact on dancefloors globally. His records have been charted and played by top DJs such as Fabrice Lig, Vince Watson, Richie Hawtin, Sasha, Adam Jay, Philip Braunstein, Greg Gow, Kenneth Thomas, Paul Oakenfold, Noah Pred, and many more.
In 2002, Kage signed his first release to Adam Jay’s Azure record label. Looking for more creative output, him & Ryan Sadorus (a.k.a. Ryski) created a new label based in Detroit called Berettamusic. In 2003, they released their first various artist EP on the Beretta label. Berettamusic has become a successful new label in a sea of techno labels trying to stay afloat. In 2006, Kage and the rest of the Berettamusic Agents will further their creative output with the minimal sub-label simply titled, "Beretta Grey."
In May 2005, Kage released his 'Cloned EP' on DLuv recordings which proved to crossover to many genres of Electronic Dance Music, and was even played on BBC's Essential Mix by Richie Hawtin & Ricardo Villalobos, along with plays from Danny Howells, and Paul Oakenfold. Upcoming releases include vinyl releases on the German label's Monoid & Circle, and the new French label Eona. He's also released and remixed music for the French label Lumina, and the popular Net-label Thinner.
DJ-ing is also a very passionate past-time of Kage. He has notable appearances across the North America, including Broadcast in San Diego, Duotone in LA, Tronic Treatment in NYC, & the Fuse-in Festival in Detroit. His skills behind the decks are highly regarded, and his mixes combine the funkyness and soul you’d expect from a Detroit artist.
With a positive attitude, and lots of new music and ideas to share, Kage is destined to become a major player in the electronic dance music community.
