Kisk

Giuseppe D'Alessandro - aka Kisk - is the owner of Apparel Music, a label based in Milano but with multi-cultural roots. Art Director, label owner, illustrator, grafic designer, project manager, A&R and DJ since 1996. He explored a variety of genres, from trip hop to swing, passing through jungle, West London and Detroit house, 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. 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, Ekkohaus, Emerson Todd, Yapacc as well as Delano Smith, Ivano Tetelepta and the list goes on.
