Jazz Remix | Mark de Clive-Lowe

Musical maverick Mark de Clive-Lowe seems an impossibility 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 helped evolve broken beat, establishing himself as an undeniable voice in progressive electronic music. Since 2008, MdCL has called Los Angeles home from where he has taken his blend of technology and beat-infused jazz from coast to coast and around the globe. Equal parts jazz musician, composer and live beat scientist, 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 for the dancefloor, on stage joined by the likes of Kamasi Washington, Harvey Mason 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 level.
