ENV 002R-EP
|
Originally released in 1996, the 6-track REMnants EP was only the second record produced by Morgan Geist for his own Environ label. Now beautifully remastered, this heretofore hard-to-find EP is crammed with Geist's early influences, from intricately-programmed Roland orchestras that echo his early techno releases on Metamorphic to jazz and R&B-style tracks that would later inform the sound of his debut album.

ENV 040EP
|
Environ boss Morgan Geist returns to his love for Detroit techno, Chicago tracks, and generally exceptional dancefloor music with the second installment in his series of instrumental EPs: Megaprojects Two. In his own words: "Megaprojects are by definition large-scale, high-tech and cost billions of dollars, whereas this is a collection of low-tech tracks made with cheap little drum machines and rejected old synths. . . . Of course, I've been inspired and fascinated by actual megaprojects since I was a child: imposing, surreal engineering and architecture like giant hydroelectric dams, soaring bridges and exposed-concrete government buildings."

ENV 012EP
|
2016 repress of Morgan Geist's cult classic Super. Originally released in summer 2001, the record is an ode to New York City and many of the producer's most vital influences. With live strings from the Kelley Polar Quartet and plenty of disco DNA, it's no mystery that this was made by half of Metro Area (and released just months before their underground classic "Miura"). Remastered and cut by the award-winning Matt Colton of Alchemy Mastering.

ENV 039EP
|
Environ boss Morgan Geist returns to his love for Detroit techno, Chicago tracks, and generally exceptional dancefloor music with the first EP in his Megaprojects series. "I chose the name 'Megaprojects' for this series partly because I am inspired and fascinated by imposing, surreal engineering and architecture: giant hydroelectric dams, soaring bridges and strange-looking, exposed-concrete government buildings. I also found the irony of such a grandiose name for this series amusing, considering megaprojects are by definition large-scale, high-tech and costing billions of dollars, whereas this is a collection of carefully-made but low-tech tracks, created with cheap little drum machines and rejected old synths."
