Mike Clark AGENT X (Detroit)
A true Detroit house music legend whose roots extend back to the dawn of house music and techno, Mike Clark came of age traveling back and forth to attend Chicago’s legendary Warehouse nightclub while also studying and absorbing the techniques of the era’s pioneering DJs, including Ken Collier, Tony Humphries and Larry Levan. A founding father of Detroit’s “Beatdown” urban house sound, Mike Clark has worked with a slew of notable dance labels, including Underground Resistance, Nite Groove, Happy, Simply Soul, Planet E, GotSoul, Third Ear as well as his own imprint Strictly Beatdown.
Over the years Mike has taken his sound around the globe, playing as far away as Japan while regularly delivering beatdowns across the pond. Rooted in jazz traditions and Motown funk, Mike’s signature sound also leans on heavy rhythmic basslines and floor stomping kicks. If you want to experience an authentic Detroit house music beatdown, don't miss Mike on Aug 16th!
