Catalog #:	LIFE 015EP

"Originally British but now relocated to Germany, Gez Varley gained fame in the early 1990s as the other half of the seminal electronic duo LFO.

Not only recording under his own name, Gez has also been behind the artist aliases G-Man and *g*, and run record labels called G and GMR. Now Keys of Life Records proudly presents Shon, Gez Varley's latest twelve-inch masterpiece with four tracks: 'Raw,' 'Nemesis,' 'Purge' and 'Shon.'

Get in gear with Gez Varley."
