originally signed to island blue, kirkÆs new music was deemed too
alternative and cutting edge for a major label (a similar story to
underwolves whose album was eventually released on compost).
having left island, kirk degiorgio is back with his offworld
project, on far out recordings (check out his as one project on
the ubiquity label too).
in keeping with far outÆs brazilian roots it features warm Brazilian
vibes provided by special guests j.r bertrami and ivan conte (azymuth).
kirkÆs earliest musical passions were soul and jazz (reknowned for his
enormous collection of rare sun ra and blue note recordings), until a
fresh sound started filtering back from detroit to london. the new
cold soul of detroit techno inspired kirk to start producing his own
music, learning his art studying old herbie hancock records, and
recording his first tracks using equipment borrowed from techno legend
derrick may. in the early 90s he began making music under the name
æas oneÆ. and set up his own (now cult) label, ART, to release it -
reasoning that no major label at the time would take him on. ART proved
he had an ear for groundbreaking sounds: æART records produced some of
the best ambient techno ever madeÆ Mark Pritchard/Global Communications.
the label released future classics by black dog, aphex twin and balil,
and was the first to release carl craig in the UK.
