Working in his native Detroit’s Melodies & Memories record store alongside the likes of Theo Parrish in his teens, and beginning to play out in the city when he was 16, taught him lessons. Now still only 24, he’s based in Berlin and has released on labels like Crosstown Rebels, M_nus and Bpitch Control. ■ Tictactoe at the Ferry, Glasgow, Fri 16 Jul.
