a new jersey boy initially inspired by great britain's take on the
sound of detroit, morgan geist eventually tracked the roots of
techno back to motor city innovators like derrick may. unlike many
influenced by tracks like "strings of life" and "nude photo,"
geist placed equal weight on the emotional power of detroit techno
as well as tight programming and combustive percussion. when he
began listening to music, however, it was the sound of early-'80s
synth-pop heroes like devo, severed heads and depeche mode. the
early british techno of 808 state and black dog were his point of
entry into instrumental dance music, and he soon began collecting
masses of synth gear while studying at oberlin college. after he
passed a demo tape on to dan curtin, the producer signed geist up
for singles on his metamorphic records. geist later formed his own
environ label, releasing excellent statements of purpose which
showed his affinity for the more emotional, mid-tempo strains of
house music as well as the spartan ethic of detroit techno. in
1997, he hooked up with london's neo-electro label clear and
released the driving memoirs. the following year saw the issue of
environ: into a separate space, a collection of work for his own
label.
