About Kisk
Giuseppe D'Alessandro - aka Kisk - is the owner of Apparel Music, a label based in London but with multi-cultural roots.After years spent paying his dues in Milans historic clubs, from Old Fashion to Trattoria Toscana, Amnesia, Exploit, East End Studios, in unauthorized 'centri sociali' or squat clubs, fashion shows and radio work, he turned his attention to production. He explored a variety of genres, from trip hop to swing, passing through jungle, West London and Detroit, to deep house, while never abandoning jazz – the wildest and most impeccable of all - progressively building a digital project. Out of this came the concept of Jazzy, the ability to make jazz and electronic music communicate. This passion is also manifest in the Oneboy project - musical instruments played live to a DJ set. Giuseppe put this project together with writer Tatiana Carelli under the name Taji bpm. Oneboy performed at the 2007 Salone Del Mobile furniture show, at various national festivals and events and on an Italian tour in 2008. Also with Taji he created the Discokit® project, a kind of “sensory stimulation kit” – the dance club becomes takeaway and enters the world of art with more than 60 events held over two years. The discography is varied and rich in international collaborations, starting with releases for Multivitamins (UK), then for the Seta label (Slovakia), Darek Recordings (Switzerland), Vibe’ Me Record (Spain), Pro-Tez (Russia).In 2009, Giuseppe creates Apparel Music - a kitchen of artists from all over the planet. Among the many partnerships are long-established collaborations in Russia with the duo SCSI-9 and in Germany with major artists like Lopazz, Elon, Chris Wood, Tom Clark, Ekkohaus, Yapacc, Eddie Zarook as well as Delano Smith, Gavin Herlihy, Moodymanc, Domu, Tuccillo, Ali Kuru, Casio Casino, Korablove, Lula Circus, and the list goes on.
