LFO - What Is House EP Label: Warp Records Catalog#: WAP 17 P Format: Vinyl, 12", Promo Country: UK Released: 1991 Style: Acid House, Techno Notes: Also available on Ltd. Edition clear vinyl of 2000 copies. Tracklisting: A1: Tan Ta Ra (Moby Remix) Remix - Moby A2: Mashed Potato B1: What Is House (LFO Remix) B2: Syndrome LFO Real Name: Mark Bell, (Gez Varley 1988-96) Profile: Formed: 1988 in Leeds, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom LFO (Low Frequency Oscillation), named after the Low Frequency Oscillator component of synthesizers, were pioneers of the Sheffield "bleep techno" sound in the UK at the start of the 1990's and are best known for the early self-titled techno anthem "LFO". Varley and Bell met while studying at Leeds and gave their first track, the eponymous "LFO", to Nightmares on Wax. The popularity of the demo in clubs led to the track being released by the Sheffield-based Warp Records in 1990, and it was a Top 20 hit in the U.K., reaching number 12 in the singles charts. Their follow-up single, "We Are Back", was released in the summer of 1991. DJ Martin (Martin Williams) is credited as a cowriter and coproducer of the track "LFO" but was not a member of the group. Mark Bell explains: "We gave a tape of our recordings to DJ Martin who helped loads with arranging our tracks so it'd work on the dancefloor. We'd just been messing around with drum machines since we were like thirteen, tapping away at them like they were arcade games, making tapes to play our mates at school. Anyway, DJ Martin would play our cassettes in his sets and people would go mental - in a good way - cos they were totally raw." Later signed to Tommy Boy Records in the U.S., the duo remixed Afrika Bambaataa's "Planet Rock" as well as Björk, Radiohead, Depeche Mode, Laurent Garnier, and The Sabres of Paradise. Varley left in 1996 and formed Feedback with Simon Hartley (a.k.a. Wild Planet). Mark Bell produced Homogenic with Björk and Exciter with Depeche Mode. Bell performed with Björk during her 2007 Volta tour. Their last release as a duo was the album "Advance" in 1996. In 2003 Mark Bell resumed use of the name as a solo pseudonym.

After many years in Sheffield, they are now based in London. Joining the slew of attempts at selling music online, Warp is a first with providing high-quality variable bitrate MP3's for sale, via Bleep.com, including exclusive tracks, samplings of forthcoming albums, and rarities. In winter 2005 the book 'Warp' by Rob Young was released as the first volume in the Labels Unlimited series. It gives a fully illustrated overview of the label's history and also confirms the following gaps in the catalogue numbering, though with some mistakes: NOTE: A lot of Warp releases were licensed to record labels outside the UK. Some of these releases include a Warp catalogue number as well as their own. These labels include; -Indisc - usually uses the Warp catalogue with an extra 107 before the number in addition to the Indisc cat number. Sometimes it uses just a Warp catalogue number. -Rough Trade Germany which later became Zomba Records - uses the Warp catalogue number on releases that use the Warp label code (LC 2070) in addition to the RTD 126.XXXX.X catalogue number. Prior to this when the releases featured the RTD/Zomba labelcode (LC 5661) the Warp catalogue number did not appear.
