Geiom a.k.a. Hem, (born Kamal Joory) is a Nottingham based producer, live electronic musician and DJ. He is also the owner of the Berkane Sol label. He was known for being part of a group of producers along with 2562 and Shackleton who blended techno, garage and dubstep.[1][2]
Geiom was first motivated to start making music by the early 1990s UK rave scene.[3] His first release was a 12" on the Meir label in 1995. Meir is now the name of his studio. He went on to release music on labels such as Skam Records and Neo Ouija [4] Geiom's music makes frequent use of live instrumentation; an early example of this is the 'Magic Radios' album which was a collaboration with instrumentalist Morgan Caney.[5]
Geiom has also released experimental music under the name of Hem.[6][7] His musical influences are said to include electro, film soundtracks, dub reggae and Indian music.[8]
He co-promoted the influential Deselect events for several years,[9] which featured artists such as Autechre, Plaid, Isan and Kid 606.
