Man Power

Two long serving music aficionados bring raw, instinctive directness & musical delights to the floor. Prosumer is old school. His love and allegiances for everything raw and instinctive is well documented, be it his monthly NTS show or his sets on dance floors around the globe. He‘s drawn to the records that are born out of the joy of people having found a way to express their voice, even before having processed the mechanics of it. There is often a raw directness to Prosumer‘s sound that he has described before as "like humping your leg“. In his books, it is all about our natural responses to music, and in the club that means: "dance your heart out". With over 25 years of DJing, working for Hard Wax, being one of the original residents of Berghain‘s Panorama Bar, recording for the likes of Running Back, Fabric and Ostgut Ton, being a fixture at Glastonbury‘s NYC Downlow and many other amazing clubs around them world, Prosumer‘s biggest thrill has remained the same: "I am just excited that I get to share music that I care about“. It is this excitement and care that make his sets intimate and special, bringing the wonder he experienced while “playing disco’ in his parent‘s basement to a dance floor near you. Best known as the man behind 'intergalactic house’ (Resident Advisor, 2018) Man Power (Geoff 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. 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. 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.
