GE-OLOGY - All Original Press "45s only" Mix

Off The Record Mix Series 28: Athens Of The North

Part of the recording of the boat party with Marcellus & Patrick Gibin. Celebrating 9 yrs of HEAT

HEAT Bootfeest - Marcellus Pittman & Patrick Gibin

Next up in our Record Club Guest Mix series are Admin and Raw Queen. It's a back-to-back, Bristol meets Paris affair, resulting in a blistering mix of underground disco and funky sounds. Packed with heat, there’s cheap UK pressings, rare private 45s, under the radar gospel LP cuts, instrumental britfunk and much more. Thoroughly recommended and guaranteed to bring you up. 

Admin (Adam Wickens) is a DJ and producer that’s long been on our radar, with his ‘Step Into Light’ jam proving to be a particular favourite of ours. So much so we put the jazzy club joint onto the latest instalment of our Record Club compilation series. Based in Bristol, he founded the clubnight and edits series 'Community Disc-O’s’. The party is fuelled by a pure love for disco and hosted out of the backroom of Bristol’s The Crofters Rights venue. The night has blossomed into a platform for lesser-known DJs and the occasional international guest to stop on by. Previous guests to play have included Mark Grusane, Frederika, Island Times and Yadava. The ingredients are simple: two turntables, one rotary mixer, one mirror ball, a smoke machine and a bag full of disco, funk and boogie.

Another name to add to their international guest appearances is Raw Queen (Antoine O’Quin). A DJ based in Paris who took a trip to Community Disc-O's’ for their ninth party at the end of January. With an insatiable appetite for obscure private modern soul, gospel and disco rarities, Antoine quickly made an impression with his mixtapes, landing him coveted spots at Brilliant Corners and Spiritland. Back in Paris, Antoine can be seen DJing regularly in the city at musical hotspots Frequence and Bambino, and also co-runs the club night DiscoStormy (where Admin was a recent guest).

The mix was recorded at Admin’s place, the Sunday after the party. Mixed on a pair of Technics SL-1210 MKII running through an E&S DJR200, and post a big roast lunch, the idea was to capture some of the magic of the party. An extension of Friday's music that reflected the pace, energy and joy of that night. Like many B2Bs, there’s a raw feeling to the mix, with each DJ introducing their sound and keeping the other on their toes. 

Thanks to Admin and Raw Queen for giving us this big mix to share, a lethal pairing doing it right.

The virtuoso known as GE-OLOGY is a rare find. The gifted music producer, and exceptionally skilled DJ has been acclaimed for over two decades where he's worked with the likes of Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Jill Scott and De La Soul, and he's done a very special mix for the 32nd edition of our Mix series!

TRACKLIST: From the personal collection.

GE-OLOGY's own words on the mix:
What a year 2020 has been. In various ways, it uprooted so many of our lives and brought us into this temporary new age of social distancing...essential to fighting the pandemic, but unnatural in comparison to the social norms, habits and behaviors we had previously been used to. With social gatherings severely restricted, it has forced us into our own imagination to find new ways to feed our souls the human touch and intermingling we thirst for, but once took for granted. In response, Zoom video conferencing parties have become a thing, as well as live DJ sets on Instagram and Twitch. But with this explosion of live performances from the comforts of ones home to ours, it's still not a comparable substitute for the deep and beautiful culture of live music performances in small smoky bars, or steamy basement parties, or crowded arenas packed with a sea of people, or club nights headlining our favorite DJs...or even traveling to exotic music festivals in foreign outdoor lands.

With this in mind, I took some time to reflect on so many of the priceless experiences I've been fortunate enough to enjoy over such a significant portion of my lifetime so far...and I couldn't be more grateful. The love and dedication I hold deep in my soul for music, and the art of DJing stems from my appreciation of the brilliant musicians who created compositions that spoke to me, funky rhythms that moved me naturally, and skillful creative Disc Jockeys that knew how to tell stories through vinyl records like literary masters use words in poetry. This love, most-importantly, stems back to my family, and how music has played such an important role in all of our lives. It's directly connected to many of my greatest childhood memories, and has helped to shape me into the person I am today.

In honor of my family, as well as my extended music family around the world, and the great legacy of live music and club nights that so many of us miss, I wanted to do something very special with this mix. I decided to approached this from various angles...building it up gradually as I would playing 'all-nght-long' at my residency club night in NYC, with a lot of rare, funky and beautiful records from my collection, some very pricey these days...some inexpensive, taking the listener on an extensive 2 hour (120 mins + 20 secs) sonic journey of beautiful melodies, rhythms, voices and instrumentation, with some old school style "A cappella" blends, intersecting various genres from Hip Hop to Soul to Jazz-Funk to Gospel to Disco to pure African dance floor HEAT! Definitely one of my favorite and most fun mixes I've recorded over the years. Food for the heart and soul. ENJOY!

In today's burgeoning culture of opportunism and ambition, you seldom meet an individual with exceptional abilities and a lengthy history of achievement without it being worn on their sleeve. GE-OLOGY’s sets reflect his diverse taste in music perfectly. Unfiltered mixes filled with records ranging from experimental Jazz, Gospel, Disco, Funk, House, Techno and Hip-Hop, GE-OLOGY does is all with ease. There is no single tread to be found in his sets, other than him taking risks and mixing in curveballs that light up the dance floor. On top of his sublime track selection, the skills of the Baltimore DJ are unparalleled and admired by everybody’s favorite DJs. Thus, the enigmatic virtuoso known as GE-OLOGY is a rare find indeed.

GE-OLOGY's ties with music were close from the start. After learning how to play the trumpet and starting collecting records at age 5, 6 years later GE-OLOGY’s interest in DJing and passion for music started rising to the heights he still beholds today. His interest in Hip-Hop brought him together with Tupac, Talib Kweli and Mos Def and later the Baltimore born, 80's New York City bred Renaissance man took the opportunity to produce for Jill Scott, De La Soul, Yukimi Nagano and Vinia Mojica and Jem. Yet, surprising to most, his dance floor oriented music dates back to the same time.

This masterful music producer, skilled DJ, and equally gifted visual artist has been acclaimed internationally for over two decades, however he remains somewhat of a mystery, letting his music and his mixes speak for themselves. To GE-OLOGY, music is something spiritual which reaches his soul and is inseparable from his being. This ethos is clearly emulated in his music, always digging deeper and weaving diverse music genres that coalesce to inspire soulful movement on the dance floor.
