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!

GE-OLOGY "Live" at MUSICLAND - JUNE 23, 2023

Bevan's influences as a DJ first started with the deep, garage house sound from NY and Chicago. From here he built up a record collection largely consisting of modern soul, disco, boogie, house and UK garage. You can expect to hear these genres in his mixes along with newer influences he has picked up in recent months

GABRIELA MIX #5 ~ DJ LLOYD

For the second episode of Lunch__Breaks I've had the pleasure to invite Bevan. I personally always really enjoy Bevan's music selection, this mix is no exception! The episode is focussed on his favourite house vocalists. 

"Bevan’s sets focus around the garage house sounds from the US and EU in the early 90’s, along with choice boogie and soul cuts that preceded it. Memorable hooks, deep basslines and euphoric chords are what makes him tick and are ever-present in his mixes.

He recently establishing his own club night entitled 'Tied Together' in Amsterdam at De Schietclub alongside a monthly radio show on Operator. The concept aims to encapsulate all the different musical influences artists and DJ's go through, from when they first start out listening to music up until new obsessions and finds in more recent months."
