MARK DE CLIVE-LOWE: LIVE REMIX
CRAFTING the moment in real timE
“…the illest dude I have seen live” – Karizma
"the man behind a million great tunes" - Gilles Peterson
"an underground phenom..." – Okayplayer
A spontaneous journey where the dancefloor converges with jazz improvisation and electronic production.
In MdCL’s one-man Live Remix show, every sound is created, deconstructed, and rebuilt in real time — blending deep groove, harmonic language, and analog-digital alchemy into an immersive, unrepeatable performance.
Rooted in broken beat, house music, and jazz improvisation, Live Remix is where DJ culture, live musicianship, and studio composition intersect. Keys, drum machines, samplers, and synthesis become instruments in continuous reconstruction.
Nothing is pre-made.
Nothing is fixed.
Everything is in motion.
The Practice
Live remixing as performance — not triggering tracks, but rebuilding them from the ground up.
Rhythm architecture, harmonic exploration, improvisational instinct, and the energy of the room in constant dialogue.
A set that evolves each time.
Where club energy meets exploration.
ABOUT MARK DE CLIVE-LOWE
Japanese–New Zealander composer, pianist, producer, and live remixer, Mark de Clive-Lowe has spent over 25 years shaping hybrid musical language across continents.
From London’s broken beat movement to Los Angeles’ jazz renaissance and now Tokyo, his work bridges acoustic and electronic worlds with equal authority. With 20+ albums and hundreds of collaborations, he has shared stages and studios with Moodymann, Kenny Dope, Ge-Ology, Shigeto, DJ Spinna, Sheila E, Kamasi Washington, Kyoto Jazz Massive, Pino Palladino, Harvey Mason, and more.
His releases trace an evolving arc:
• Six Degrees introduced his fusion of jazz and beats;
• Tide’s Arising expanded the palette;
• CHURCH reframed spiritual jazz;
• Heritage explored ancestry;
• Past Present opened a meditative synth-driven chapter;
• and his work on the Ghost of Yōtei soundtrack bridges ambient, experimental, and beat-driven forms.

Where Past Meets Future
Live Remix is the through-line.
A performance practice forged across dancefloors and concert stages — shaped by a deep immersion in music traditions and club culture, and by technology treated not as a tool, but as an instrument.
From underground clubs to festival stages, Live Remix invites audiences into the feeling of now — where the familiar is reimagined and each moment becomes architecture.
