History
LFO were a British electronic duo formed in Leeds in 1988 by Mark Bell and Gez Varley, who had met at a breakdance contest in 1984. Their name comes from "low frequency oscillator," a core synthesizer component. A demo track passed to local producers Nightmares on Wax found its way into clubs, leading Sheffield label Warp Records to release it as the single "LFO" in 1990; it reached number 12 on the UK singles chart and sold over 130,000 copies. LFO helped define the stark, bass-heavy "bleep techno" sound emerging around Warp. Their debut album, Frequencies (1991), peaked at number 42 on the UK Albums Chart. Varley left in 1996 to record as G-Man, while Bell continued as LFO and built a major production career, notably producing Björk's Homogenic and later albums, and Depeche Mode's Exciter. Bell died in October 2014, ending the project.
