Kirk Degiorgio, also known as As One, is a British techno producer and DJ. Born in the late 1960s in Stepney, East London, and raised in Ipswich, Suffolk, he started producing music in the early 1990s.[1]
Between 1998 and 2001, he hosted the "R Solution" show on Kiss 100 FM alongside 4hero which was influential in the development of broken beat.[2]
He founded the labels A.R.T. Records and Op-Art Records[3] and releases on them as well as B12 Records, R&S Records, New Electronica, and others. His style is a mixture of Detroit-style techno, mixed with funk, soul and jazz fusion.[4][5]
