Prior to this period he spent much of his time in Leeds, recording and releasing a number of raps and poems with fellow East Moleseyan Jamie Griffin, along with Griffin's partner in crime Josh Box. A cult following quickly emerged from the scene Skerrett led, with his fans following him to his gigs as far away as the The Original Oak.
This New Jersey native was initially inspired by England's take on the sound of Detroit, but eventually tracked techno back to its Motor City innovators. When he began listening to music, however, it was the sound of early-'80s synth heroes like Devo, Severed Heads and New Order alongside early hiphop, jazz and 60's Hindi film soundtracks. Geist released his first 12" (via Dan Curtin's innovative Metamorphic label) while studying at Oberlin College in 1994.
