Title:	Sum
Label:	APNEA (SPAIN)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	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."

Title:	Nevertheless
Label:	BACKGROUND RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	BG 049CD

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.

Title:	Ince
Label:	SPECTRAL SOUND
Format:	12"
Price:	$6.50
Catalog #:	SPC 019EP

"Geoff White has a mind too adventurous to pigeonhole himself within the strict tenets of traditional techno. He has tackled various side projects, such as DSP (on Mille Plateaux), Jackstone (on Proptronix), and Aeroc (on Ghostly), and has collaborated with Sutekh and Stewart Walker. White has explored a variety of timbres and textures, from hip-hop beats to acoustic guitar, proving that his musical curiosity and creativity have no boundaries. Ince's title track is tough, cut-up minimal techno featuring chopped guitar and breaths. The flip is heavy roll-out minimal, extremely concise but fluid. This 12" is a stellar addition to Geoff White's array of quality releases."

Title:	Etsche
Label:	SPECTRAL SOUND
Format:	12"
Price:	$6.50
Catalog #:	SPC 029EP

"As a follow-up to the more organic Ince (SPL-019), Ohio's Geoff White gives us Etsche, an energetic set of minimal techno that employs his characteristic guitar sounds (also explored in a more sublime way under the Aeroc moniker) amidst a tapestry of other percussive and melodic elements. The track 'Etsche' marks a noticeably different, highly focused direction for White and the Spectral label, as its straightforward techno sound is steeped in bubbling rhythmic variations and cooing synth washes."
