In 1994, with only one 12” in his discography, Morgan Geist decided to found his own record label. His debut on Dan Curtin’s Metamorphic label was inspired by the sounds of Detroit techno and Chicago house. But Geist also had a great fascination for British imports from labels like Warp, B12, and ART. His goal was to combine these influences into the first release on his new label, Environ.

With a remix by The Connection Machine, whose distinctive "Bitflower" had been released the previous year on Carl Craig's Planet E label, the "Premise EP" (1995) was recorded in Ohio and mastered in Detroit by the legendary Ron Murphy. This release also marked the end of Geist's four years living in the Midwest and his return to the greater New York area, a drastic change that would soon be reflected in the sound of the Environ label.

This reissue of ENV001 "Premise EP" has been remastered from the original tapes and features the original artwork by Todd Sines.
