The cornerstone and pioneer of UK techno, Kirk DeGiorgio has been tirelessly delivering the original message of Detroit techno, born out of a city renowned for its soul music and its factories. 

 From pause-button mixtapes to the impact technology has had on music and club culture, Kirk bridges the gap from West End Boogie to Ableton Live.
