Man Power

Sobre

Creatively speaking, pinning down Geoff Kirkwood is a challenge. While best known as the man behind 'intergalactic house’ (Resident Advisor, 2018) alias Man Power, Kirkwood is as comfortable writing and presenting experimental symphonies, ambient hauntology and Audio Visual orchestral performances as Bed Wetter or delivering raucous kinetic Techno as MPX. For everything in between, he is Man Power. The Man Power project initially emerged as an anonymous 2014 project via a succession of dark, chugging remixes, culminating with a debut EP on Correspondant. Conclusions were drawn, expectations set, and boundaries imposed. Never one to colour between the lines, though, Kirkwood has gone on to show the complete picture of his sonic and thematic breadth via output for the likes of DFA, SKINT, Hivern Discs and his lauded Me Me Me imprint. Although unburdened by the need to bow to genre conventions, there’s still a common emotional core through Kirkwood’s creations that, paired with a penchant for the cinematic and absurdist, makes him stand out from other eclectically inclined peers.
