Mark de Clive-Lowe

Mark de Clive-Lowe, a Japanese-New Zealander, seamlessly juggles piano, synths, live sampling, and on-the-fly beat making with mind-boggling ease. In his formative London years, he played a pivotal role in the burgeoning broken beat movement, establishing himself in progressive electronic music.

Since 2008, based in Los Angeles, MdCL has been a vital member of the city's beat-jazz evolution. As a composer, jazz musician, live remixer, and electronic producer, his sets transcend genres, captivating listeners, dancers, progressives, and purists alike. Whether remixing Blue Note Records on stage with artists like Kamasi Washington or creating live soundtracks, MdCL is an artist in constant evolution.

His acclaimed album "CHURCH" fuses his loves for the jazz club and dancefloor; "HERITAGE" pays homage to his Japanese roots. "FREEDOM" honors Pharoah Sanders, and "HOTEL SAN CLAUDIO" explores soulful beat-jazz with Shigeto and Melanie Charles, showcasing MdCL's dynamic evolution.
