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!

I can't remember when I made this or why, but I'm glad I did. This one seemed to be a favorite for a few of my friends. All vinyl, all day, all night, as always.

This one is a personal favorite. This mix CD was an artistic collaboration with my man Augie Galan who took care of art direction, concept & packaging of these CDs for his notorious street wear company Acapulco Gold. We both grew up running around these NYC streets, so he inspired me to make this mix of early hip-hop, disco rap, punk funk, with healthy doses of disco and boogie business. I stayed away from the obvious cuts and went a bit deeper. This was made with OG vinyl found while digging around the streets of NYC...

to be Pro-Black means to relentlessly pursue money, land, guns and useful knowledge for the purpose of creating and maintaining healthy and productive Black communities. It means the cultivation of a culture that reinforces a unified vision of Black well being and continuous advancement. It is also to seek for oneself and share to share with one's communities the following critical assets: knowledge, wisdom, understanding, freedom, justice, equality, food, clothing, shelter, love, peace and happiness.

BLACK SAND

ALBUM DWNLOAD

BLACK SAND by AKAI SOLO x PINK SIIFU

Rapp mix from Jay Smooth's 'Underground Railroad' program on WBAI from '03 - all vinyl, all the way live. Back then a few of us had gotten real heavy into collecting the all the dope, less celebrated late '80s/early '90s independent releases that Dave Tompkins & I privately referred to as 'random rap' (a term btw that was never really meant for public consumption or eBay keyword b.s.). This sound was beautifully paid homage on now-classic mixes like DJ Ivory's 'Hear No Evil' and Edan's 'Sound of the Funky Drummer.' And tho, unlike those sets, this one was never 'officially released,' folks seem to dig this taped-off-the-radio recording (by I believe MF Young/Old/Classy Chris - EDIT: P Duddy), which has circulated for several years now. Enjoy. Peace to Jay, Monk-Uno & Tom Cat. RIP G-Man.
