"Kirk Degiorgio, the man behind Future Past and As One, continues to innovate with unique sounds and dance floor friendly beats. The Isomer Shift EP is an uncompromising set of progressive dance floor beats in the tradition of Craig/Saunderson and Beltram. The four tracks are outstanding 21st century techno, an instant Degiorgio classic with typically syncopated dance beats, beautiful chords and rhythms that create mesmerizing and energetic soundscapes. On the A side, 'Isomer Shift' is a perfect example of Degorigo's relentless rhythmical talents. Twisted beats, beautiful strings and chords combine to create a master work of futuristic funk. 'Isidora,' the second track brings bigger and spacier atmospheres to a club fulfilled club beat. The B side takes the future funk even deeper, great strings provide the backing for two tracks that see Degiorgio returning to his previous influences with rhythms and bass lines synonymous with Kirk's much acclaimed earlier works."

Title:	Nairobi
Label:	NEW RELIGION (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	REG 061EP

2001 release. "Using his real name for the first time, 'Nairobi' and 'Unruly' feature all the funky, techno based elements of Kirk's original ground-breaking releases on his legendary ART label, but update them with a fresh creativity and all the hi-tech polish that 10 years of studio building can bring. And if you thought the future funk of 'Nairobi' and the smooth, stylish techno of 'Unruly' was good enough then Carl Craig's remix should be the icing on the cake. A new studio refit provided the perfect opportunity for one of Detroit's finest to produce one of his most club-worthy mixes since the days of Paperclip People -- deep, moody and very Carl Craig. Perfect."

Catalog #:	PE 65316EP

"1990 was the decade Kirk established healthy roots with the network trio of Detroit producers: Derrick May, Juan Atkins and Kevin Saunderson. In preparation for Kirk's most influential journey to the US, he collaborated demos with Ed Handley and Andy Turner under the collective The Black Dog. During his inspirational visit to Detroit, Kirk took notice of the affordable studio setups he observed at Transmat, Metroplex and KMS. Consequently Kirk sold his entire record collection upon his return to London and invested in an Atari, Akai S950 sampler, a broken TB303 and a Roland R8 drum machine. To complete his Detroit-inspired studio, the last pieces were actually loaned from Derrick - including a Kawai K3 and the infamous DX100. Fast forward to the more present time and Kirk has released purist techno EPs for an EMI subsidiary New Religion. For the same label he has collaborated with Dan Keeling under the name Critical Phase and together with Alex Bond has also coordinated the joint ART-New Religion compilation The Electric Institute. On this compilation Kirk shocked purists with the techno breaks track 'Whatever Happened To The Cosmic Kid,' which was co-written with Dan Keeling and Chris Martin of Coldplay. Kirk's revolutionary pulse has been recognized and is credited with being the first known professional DJ to use Ableton Live alongside vinyl for his DJ sets. A tour of Japan 2002 saw him use Live exclusively which he has now done ever since in venues worldwide. Kirk paved the way for the current popularity of laptop DJing."
