APNEA 013EP
|
"Apnea Records is back with Geoff White, the man who inaugurated our label with the now classic Ique. One of the finest American producers, with releases for Ghostly, Traum, Morris Audio, Force Inc., Background and his own Edit Audio, Geoff White (also known as Aeroc) is all about creativeness. If Ique was a dubbier effort, his new release, Sum is a luxurious and baroque techno encyclopedia, still full of groove. Four tracks that deal with techno at its most rich expression, with all kinds of effects, frequencies and melodies drawing a puzzle of rhythms and sounds. Deep & playful, Sum has everything minimal lacks: imagination, quality, a sense of surprise & vitality."

[deleted] Columbus, Ohio-native Geoff White (aka Aeroc) is one of America's premier techno producers, and this is his fourth full-length release. He has amassed a catalog of distinguished releases on labels such as Force Inc., Traum, Proptronix, Morris Audio, Cytrax and Ghostly International. White recently relocated to Barcelona to continue his work in music. His first full-length album, Questions and Comments was released on Force Inc. in 2001. The formation of his Edit Audio label followed shortly thereafter, with an emphasis on modern production techniques as well as dancefloor beats. In 2003, Geoff paired with Stewart Walker to produce the album Discord, released music under the alias Jackstone, and made an EP with Swiss duo Dialogue. White has also provided remixes for a variety of labels such as Leaf and Source. The sound of this album could be described as dub-influenced, but largely stripped of the endless reverberant, delayed elements which largely define the genre. What remains is a collection of quirky jams which tumble about and squirm around to seemingly no end. There's a balance found in the contradictory worlds that exist between raw/refined, minimal/hyper-arranged, and ethereal/in-your-face. The vinyl version includes 8 tracks while the CD plays straight through and includes a handful of extra tracks mixed together as a continuous arrangement.
