Gitkin is the musical project of multi-instrumentalist Brian J, an artist and producer with roots in both New York and New Orleans. His music is a sultry, instrumental mix of worldly influences, particularly North and West African guitar styles, Middle Eastern sounds, and Latin American grooves. With a strong focus on rhythm and atmosphere, Gitkin creates a hypnotic sound that feels both cinematic and danceable. His guitar playing is central: raw, repetitive, and captivating, often supported by pulsating bass lines and subtle percussion.
