While his own bio may describe him as edgy, soulful and funky, this really doesn’t do the man justice. Kirk Degorgio got his start as a DJ way back in the 80s before becoming a house name as an electro producer in London. His beats are frantic and undeniably easy to get down to — here’s a guy who lives what he’s practiced, and teaches his skill to others: all those years on the dance floor and behind the DJ table has clearly proved valuable; the man’s worked for everyone from Elegy to Aphex Twin and runs the gamut from simpler and minimal beats to the more complex and, yes, edgier and more complex, almost thrashy stuff. Truly a man ahead of his time, Mr. Digiorgio has come a long way since ’83. It’s good to see the man finally getting his due. You can check it out right now on Red Bull Music Academy Radio.
