About Clark Warner

It is the people and events in Detroit that have shaped the atmosphere which I try to create and convey through these needles and lasers.

For nearly a decade, Warner has been setting sounds for environments ranging from music and media festivals, university campuses, cafés, clubs and art galleries to live radio and the Internet. He's dealt with many aspects of electronic music, working closely with some of Detroit's finest producers, DJs, labels, designers and organizers.

Working with a roster of talented artists and a genre-defining catalog has taught me the importance of paying attention to details from both sides of the record.

Since 1995, Warner has been working exclusively with Richie Hawtin for Plus 8 Records, leading to his current involvement with Hawtin's solo-based label Minus since its 1998 launch, and also working with Detroit artist Theorem.

Exporting the style of intelligent armchair electronic music and minimal-deep-techno, he has played outside of the US for prestigious media festivals such as SONAR, Tribal Gathering, Nature One as well as film festivals in Montreal and Rotterdam.

Most recently he warmed up the main stage on the final day of the first Detroit Electronic Music Festival, playing two sets in the afternoon opening up for the likes of Theorem, Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May and Richie Hawtin. Still in the Motor City, he also holds a "loose residency" at Detroit's premier club, Motor, holding court in "the Study" on a monthly basis, spreading the sound out even to moments of house, funk, and anything with a sense of humor.

Thank you for listening, eclectically.
