GE-OLOGY
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 and art span over 40 years and are well-documented. An artist in every sense, GE-OLOGY has excelled across numerous disciplines like illustration, graphic design and music production - all well before the term "multidisciplinary artist" was popularised. From his early days producing underground hip-hop for the likes of Black Star, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, De La Soul, and even a young Tupac Shakur, or his collaborative alteration of the hip hop visual & fashion landscape with the jointly talented Matt Doo through their artistic partnership 'Dooable Arts' in the 1990s, the Baltimore born/New York City-based DJ/Producer/Visual Artist GE- OLOGY has long established himself as an internationally respected artist and musical mind. Recording with prominent vocalists like Jill Scott, Yukimi Nagano, Vinia Mojica and Jem, to his mind-blowing dance floor classic "Moon Circuitry" featuring virtuoso Mark de Clive-Lowe on Theo Parrish's legendary Sound Signature imprint, GE-OLOGY's soulful and eclectic genre-defying musical compositions have consistently found a home on the decks of the most discerning DJs and music lovers around the world.
In addition to his work in the studio, GE-OLOGY is also an accomplished selector in his own right. His profound artistry sets him apart from his peers and is abundantly clear in his DJing and musical experimentation. He flawlessly expresses contrast, depth, texture and colour to blend music and art into a single creative lens. "It's really the same language. You can describe music in artistic ways and colors in a very musical way." When asked about his taste and approach to music selection, GE-OLOGY keeps it simple. "Every time I play, I want to bring something special to the table, and tell a story." Whether it's overlooked cheap "heat", music people don't really know or high value rare records that very few people have, he digs for music that's under the radar-extremely funky, soulful and moving. There's something very personal, intimate and risky in his approach to playing records that you don't often experience in today's DJ sets. Always intriguing and exciting, GE-OLOGY engages dancers with selects from his carefully curated vinyl collection, organically bringing them up and down to different emotional places, weaving diverse genres that seamlessly coalesce to bring dance floors to life.
