GE-OLOGY "Live" at MUSICLAND - JUNE 23, 2023, (Secret Location Brooklyn, NY)

Whether you view GE-OLOGY as a world-class producer, visual artist or DJ depends on how long you’ve known him. His prolific contributions to music, & art more broadly, span over 40 years & are well-documented. An artist in every sense, Ge-ology has excelled across numerous disciplines like illustration, fine arts painting & sculpture, graphic design & music production - all well before the term “multidisciplinary artist” was popularized.
Among his bountiful accolades are his earliest beats as part of the 4 member high school hip hop crew “Born Busy” with Tupac Shakur in the 80s, and later, his collaborative alteration of the hip hop visual & fashion landscape with the jointly talented Matt Doo through their “mentally ILLustrated” artistic partnership Dooable Arts in the 90s, & his production of cultural milestones like songs on both the debut “Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Black Star” & Mos Def’s solo “Black On Both Sides” LPs.
 
Ge-ology’s profound artistry sets him apart from his peers and is abundantly clear in his DJing and musical experimentation. He flawlessly expresses contrast, depth, texture & color to blend music & art into a single creative lens. “It’s really the same language. You can describe music in artistic ways & colors in a very musical way.”
Never stagnant or complacent, between touring internationally & his residency at Public Records, Ge-ology is wrapping up two highly-anticipated creative projects for Fall 2023. One record is his full production, the other is a rework of a rare, never reissued record of which he’s obtained the master reel & blessing of the original artist.
 
When asked about his taste & approach to selection, Ge-ology keeps it simple. “Every time I play, I want to bring something special to the table.” He likes to play “shit that’s different,” whether it’s overlooked cheap heat, music people don’t know or high value rare records that very few people have.He digs for music that’s under the radar, extremely funky, soulful & moving.
Always intriguing & exciting, Ge-ology engages dancers on his musical voyages by seamlessly & organically bringing them up & down to different emotional places. But expect some surprises & curveballs - “I don’t like to be bored or to be predictable, so you can always expect something interesting!”

To truly appreciate Ge-ology’s wizardry, you need to be there for the whole story.

“I got some shit!”

Come prepared to dance!

The Italian brothers Gino and Federico Grasso are bona fide ‘disco don’s’, collecting music for over 30 years and supplying the likes Dimitri From Paris, Sadar Bahar and Volcov with obscure gems. Gino is a familiar face behind the decks in his hometown of Bologna and across Italy, while Federico’s DJing outings are more occasional. Music, passion and knowledge has seen Gino play underground clubs the world over, including Le Souk in NYC and the Bussey Building and Brilliant Corners in London.

Lumberjacks Tapes 057: GINO GRASSO

It is not everyday we are sent a 5 hour mix from someone we have asked to join our Phonica mix series; but when Sheffield & Manchester legend Luke Una sends one… you have to jump straight into it! Having become first recognised in the late 80’s and 90’s as one half of production team “The Unabombers” with Justin Crawford, Luke over the years has shown to be a master in all genres be it Balearic, to Brazilian to E soul, House, Disco and Techno, you name it! With his Worldwide FM show over the years gaining a cult following Luke has gained an even more of a broader crowd from his curation of his E Soul Cultura compilation series via the label Mr.Bongo (Both comps topping our EOY lists in 2022 and 2023). This exact vast taste (that is displayed in these compilations) is very much pummelled into this five hour journey of a mix like a piece of clay and sculpted into a fine piece of art. We had a chat with Luke about this timeless mix and what he has been up to lately: http://offtherecord.net/phonica-mix-series-119luke-una/
