North East England’s Man Power pays the studio a visit to take us on a tour of his musical loves, taking in everything from maximal Jazz to minimal Techno, Via Folk, Hip hop, Blues, House, New Wave, R&B, and more, with the music played often being more than just one of these things at the same time.

Initially it felt fairly easy to pin down the Man Power project when it started off in 2014 with a bunch of growling slo mo techno records on the likes of Correspondant, Hivern Discs and Infiné. However in the intervening decade we’ve seen Geoff Kirkwood continually confound expectations, whether it be via releasing Disco and Italo records (Stamp / SKINT / Eskimo), Detroit leaning Techno (Sound As, DFA, Ene Japan), straight-up House Music (Rekids, Make A Dance, ESP Institute) or, more often than not, weirdo mutations of all of those sounds and more on an impressively wide range of big and small labels. All of this is before even considering his Techno Alias MPX, his two Experimental Ambient albums as Bedwetter, and his creation of a full blown Orchestral Symphony with the Royal Northern Sinfonia.
