For my first entry I wanted to highlight an artist that I have really dug over the years Mr Kirk Degiorgio.

Ive really been revisiting his back catalogue some of which is had to find and thought id share some tunes.

If your not familiar with Kirk he’s been producing music since the early 90’s and who is probably best known for his As One album on Mowax and his short-lived A.R.T. label.

Im a sucker for the feel of his earlier productions. This is from the compilation album objets d’art under the as one guise. Isatai - As One Kirk has produced many different genres and through the years has a healthy love of analog modulars, jazzy broken beats and soul but you can feel the sense of refinement within his later work and use of more organic sounds. although I have a soft spot for the Detroit tech lushness. His later releases have a big jazz/ neo soul influence influence, depending which alias you lean towards and are great to just chill to.

here is a taster of his more jazzy productions. ups and downs - Kirk Degiorgio

His most recent release is the collaboration with Vocalist Jinadu which was recorded at the legendary abbey road studios. His singing and Kirks soulful music sit together so well. With a guest arrangement from the legendary deodato among others. Its out now on peacefrog, you can purchase from bleep or from the peacefrog website direct.

Look forward to the release of the new as one album “AS ONE: Planetary Folklore 2 - October 16th 2006″ on Italy’s Archive label. I know I am.
