No cause of death has been confirmed yet.

According to sources, the tastemaker, educator, and sound designer has sadly passed this Friday 24th. Mike Huckaby did much for Detroit’s electronic music scene. The man behind the once legendary Record Time store amassed an encyclopedic knowledge of music could see beyond the hype and divisions within the scene.

Huckaby brought the Detroit sound of deep house and techno with him, knowing the balance between both like no other. The world lost a musical genius today. Rest in Peace.
