CINEMATICPOD 004 – KIRK DEGIORGIO by cinematiclabel

The next CINEMATICPOD comes from one of the UK’s finest exports in Electronic music, as we welcome Kirk Degiorgio!

Kirk’s career spans almost 20 years with a variety of personas whether it be As One, Elegy, Esoterik, Critical Phase, and Future/Past as recording aliases. Founding the ART label (Applied Rythmic Technology) in 1991, Kirk helped forge early relationships with now staples of the original Electronic scene with the likes of The Black Dog, Aphex Twin, B12 and Carl Craig.

Degiorgio went on to record material for ART, Planet E and R&S before signing As One to New Electronica for the albums Reflections and Celestial Soul, which both made the Muzik Top 30 albums for 1994/5. Further albums for Clear (UK), Mo Wax, Ubiquity, Versatile and Neroli cemented Kirk’s reputation as a seriously heavyweight producer with a unique, individual sound, beautifully combining elements of jazz, soul, techno and funk into electronic tracks.

The mix aptly titled “Chicago 85” pays tribute to the early warehouse days, where the term “House” was still in its infancy, and Kirks mix closes our year with some nostalgia….turn up the bassbins, hit download and enjoy!!!!
