Aphex Twin's record label and the creators of Braindance.
|
Born in 1991 as the bastard child of Grant Wilson-Claridge and Richard D James aka Aphex Twin, Rephlex Records have been releasing electronic music of the highest standard for 12 years and it's still going strong. As Marcus Scott, who runs the promotional wing of the Rephlex, explains the label was "set up mainly to release Richard D James' 'dancefloor trax' but like all good labels the momentum and choice of releases grew, and we outgrew our exclusively dancey roots."

"...the momentum and choice of releases grew, and we outgrew our exclusively dancey roots..." |
Boasting the debut releases of Squarepusher and Mu-Ziq, Rephlex have always had an impressive artist roster under their belt, with the likes of Cylob, DMX Crew and Ovuca, as well as classics from Stakker, Baby Ford and 808 State, gracing their discography. Recent releases include Kevin Martin 's dancehall mash-up project 'The Bug', and jungle revivalists Soundmurderer and SK1 bringing a tuff mix of Amen breaks and ragga vocals to the camp.

Consequently this growing family all have some strange influence over each other's work, both before and more importantly after signing to the label, hence the title of 2000's compilation the Braindance Coincidence.
