Merging Chicago style with the Euro-disco sound popular in Detroit, Clark became a major figure in the birth of Detroit techno in the late '80s, alongside other DJs such as Derrick May, Alton Miller, and D Wynn. During this exciting era of innovative discovery, Clark became Agent X and began producing tracks in addition to his increasingly polished DJing duties. For the remainder of the '90s, he focused mostly on his DJing. Near the very end of the '90s and during the early 2000s, Clark suddenly elevated his presence in Detroit, once again becoming one of the city's most prolific DJs, hosting club nights and joining forces with Carl Craig's Planet E label.

As an electronic artist he has worked with musicians across a broad range of styles (ambient jazz, psychedelic, techno, trance, chill out) and has been a force in the Tokyo underground scene for over a decade. Hataken is straight off the heels of a show at South by Southwest, where he performed with Tokyo-based saxophonist Fujiwara Daisuke and their project Quartzhead. Gunshae is live ambience at its most beguiling. Gunshae is improvised laptop and live instrumentation. Gunshae is the Panambient project of Canadian dubstep pioneer James âKumaâ Graham and renowned Oboeist and DJ, Eve Mori. Gunshae is what happens when a classically trained musician and a notorious DJ with a penchant for improvising, jam on the sound of stuff and things. It's molten woodwinds and Satie references. It's a heavy drones and show tunes played by a band sitting on a veranda after too many mint julips. It's discrete music for the wifi generation. Every Gunshae recording is different. Every live performance is different. Fully improvised to the utmost extent.

Music was always my passion from a very you age. I fashioned my own home made instruments and was formally trained as a brass player in a local orchestra. At ten I purchased a Fender Strat and was engrossed in the guitar until the age of 15 when after holding down my first job for three months I bought a set of decks from Bassix. I started to play house, hard house and hip hop. I soon moved on to jungle and dnb after about two months. Was inspired by locals like Czech, Dabbler and Matty Pacific at parties that I was going to and listened to music so much that it alienated me from almost everyone who does not spin.

My style has evolved over the years from trance to breakbeat amd drum and bass to house to techno. Moby's "Next is the E" is the record that changed my life and is what got me interested in techno. I've met alot of amazing people over the years and heard some really great music. I've also been able to meet alot of my heroes too, like Moby, Orbital and Juan Atkins.

On Feb. 10 2007 at Video In Studios (1965 Main St.) he brought his new work 'Spectral Space' to the city. This performance focuses on the omnipresent din of our media culture, which provides a security blanket for many: when noise is present, we feel at ease; when it stops, we feel unease. In this paradoxical development of our cognitive apparatus we are now better able to assimilate more information at one time and decode its meaning. With 'Spectral Space' Cascone builds a foreground/midground/background sound-field through which sounds glint, shimmer, collide and implode within the fabric of noise.
