Delano Smith is one of the first artists who come to mind when speaking about Detroit House and Techno. Born in Chicago and raised in Detroit, Delano’s career started in the late 70′s DJ’ing together with the godfather of Detroit House, Ken Collier. Delano was one of Kens “students” and during the 80’s started to spin a mixture of Disco and Funk. It was during those years that like all legendary DJs he started to develop his own sound to what we know today as “House” music and then later on, Techno.During the early years Delano would get to play records in front of now legendary DJ’s such as Derrick May and Jeff Mills. Then, around 10 years ago, Delano decided to take all of his DJ experience and bring it to the studio. Shortly afterwards he started his own label called Mixmode and started to release records that are still played by the leading DJ’s on the scene today from Ricardo Villalobos, Daniel Bell to Laurent Garnier and Derrick May.
