Whether it was one of the first DJs to have their mixes played for dancers on TV (WGPR’s The Scene), the first American DJ to secure a residency at the world-famous Tresor Club in Berlin, one of Detroit’s first radio mix show DJs as part of the “Street Beat” crew or included in the Detroit Historical Museum’s exhibit “Techno: Detroit’s Gift to the World,” the diversity and quality of his sounds allow him to stand out.

He is the owner of Moods & Grooves, a curated record label which boasts a catalogue of renowned and new artists, such as Moodyman, Andres, Mr G, Boo Williams, Glenn Underground, Rick Wade, Kyle Hall and Nico Lahs to name a few.

Mike Grant is not a new face to Malta, since in the naughties, he performed on a yearly basis for the House of Misfits, a local collective which at the time was at the forefront of quality underground music.

The music style of Mike Grant is a perfect blend between house and techno, maintaining a soulful yet energetic Detroit foundation.

His connection to Malta started when our own beloved Owen Jay met Mike Grant at the Detroit Electronic Music Festival in 2001. In 2013, Owen Jay and Melchior Sultana joined Moods & Grooves with their release titled Movement EP and Mike made a remix for them for their release on DeepExplorer.
