*Mike Grant
Moods & Grooves / End to End Records
Afrosyntrix Recordings
At the end of the 1990s, Mike Grant re-emerged as one of the leading
figures
in Detroit's growing house scene after spending the majority of the
decade
and late '80s pursuing other ambitions. When Grant's fresh Moods &
Grooves
label began raising more than a few eyebrows with its catalog of
releases by
many of Detroit's best house producers, few knew that he has been a key
figure in the Motor City's early to mid-'80s electronic dance scene as a
talented DJ. Grant is the only Detroit DJ who plays complete deep
house/house and techno sets as well as a mixture. While traveling
throughout
Europe Grant also earned the distinction as being the only American DJ
to
have a residency at Tresor Club in Berlin.
Grant's musical career began at an early age, influenced by Detroit's
fledging music scene and his uncle, the general manager at a local
R&B/dance
radio station, WKWM. By 1980, the young Grant had joined a DJ collective
known as Men of Music while becoming close friends with schoolmate Blake
Baxter. Baxter showed Grant the art of beat mixing while the two made
mix
tapes after school, and Grant eventually joined Baxter's DJ group, The
Beat
Sound Company. A few years later in 1983, Grant was scoring club
residencies
in Detroit alongside legends such as Ken Collier and also managed to
make
appearances on The Scene, a video dance show on WGPR alongside even more
local DJs such as Jeff Mills.
During this mid-'80s era, Grant's reputation as one of the city's top
DJs
led to eventual friendships and partnerships with many of that eras
other
top DJs, most notably Eddie Fowlkes, Derrick May, and Juan Atkins.
During
the summer of 1985, he became a member of Detroit's first radio mix
show,
"Street Beat," where the foundation for what would later become early
Detroit techno was ultimately formed. Prior to the Street Beat show,
Grant
made a commitment to join the military not knowing what doors would
eventually open.
During this time in the military, he continued to DJ on the base and in
Seattle, where he introduced the sounds of Detroit techno to the
unsuspecting West Coast.
Following his time in the military, Grant then studied
telecommunications in
Chicago and began his career in this same field, while occasionally
returning to his hometown for the occasional performance.
In the late '90s, Grant planned his return, beginning with a recording
as
Black Noise on Metroplex Records, titled "Nature of the Beast." Rather
than
just DJ and produce tracks, he went to the lengths of starting his own
label, Moods & Grooves, and began releasing the work of his peers as
well as
his own. By mid-2000, the label had received substantial acclaim -
including
a high-profile appearance by Grant at the landmark Detroit Electronic
Music
Festival. In 2001 Grant launched the techno based label End to End and
urban
sounding Afrosyntrix. Recent accomplishments include remixing the
Detroit
classic "Sharevari," being selected to perform at Midem's Electronic
Showcase, a member of the artistic selection committee of the 2002
DEMF, and
inclusion to the "Techno - Detroit's Gift To the World" exhibit at the
Detroit Historical Museum.
