Биография

Musical maverick Mark de Clive-Lowe seems an enigma at first sight - juggling piano, synths, live sampling and beat making all on-the-fly, brought to life with a casual ease that’s mind-boggling. In his formative London years, the Japanese-New Zealander was at the epicenter of the burgeoning broken beat movement, establishing himself as an undeniable voice in progressive electronic music. Since 2008, MdCL has called Los Angeles home. Equal parts composer, jazz musician, found-sound live remixer and producer, MdCL’s sets are a treat for the listeners, the dancers, the progressives and the purists alike - as he casually erases the lines between genres and eras. Whether he’s remixing classic Blue Note Records in real time, on stage for his party CHURCH joined by the likes of Kamasi Washington, Nia Andrews or Eric Harland, improvising solo piano or creating live soundtracks to classic film material, MdCL is an artist in constant evolution, reaching for that next destination. His new project HERITAGE sees him making a deep dive into his own Japanese heritage, interpreting it through the lens of jazz and electronica. "(the) avant-garde soulful Pianist/DJ/Producer delivers his lifetime of journeys to different musical portsin a concise package, seamlessly... transporting not just in genre but in emotion and spirit." - HuffingtonPost “a musical force unlike any other” - Popmatters.com
