LUKE VIBERT

Luke Vibert, the eminently multi-pronged producer-stroke-DJ, is a Cornishman of countless aliases and musical styles, ranging from drum & bass (Plug) and jungle (Amen Andrews) to acid/techno/electro (The Ace of Clubs, Vibert/Simmonds, Luke Vibert), leftfield breaks/IDM/trip hop (Wagon Christ) and disco (Kerrier District).

Vibert’s multiple releases have taken him all over the world and to many of the foremost labels in electronic music, including Warp, Rephlex, Planet Mu and Ninja Tune, as well to ‘majors’ Astralwerks/Virgin and the more obscure (e.g. First Cask and Paperplane). He has remixed artists/groups as diverse as Aphex Twin, Nine Inch Nails, Squarepusher, Lamb, LFO, Jamie Lidell, Falty DL, Meat Beat Manifesto, Coldcut, Moloko and Simian Mobile Disco.

A key component of the ‘Cornwall School’, "Vibert helped to redefine the rules of electronic music in the UK in the early to mid '90s alongside a bunch of reprehensible mates that included Richard D. James (a.k.a. Aphex Twin), Tom Jenkinson (Squarepusher), Mike Paradinas (µ-Ziq), Chris Jeffs (Cylob), and the labels Rephlex and Warp … Together they assimilated such diverse elements as hip hop beats and drum & bass into the more eccentric take on electronica they tweaked, and kick-started a virtual insurrection in sound around the world." (Andrez Bergen, Daily Yomiuri (Japan) 2003).

Vibert has had numerous collaborations in his career, from his first release with friend Jeremy Simmonds, to 2004’s “Moog Acid” (Lo Recordings) with electronic music pioneer Jean-Jacques Perry and 'Stop the Panic' with renowned pedal-steel guitar player BJ Cole. Notably, he has also performed live many times with Aphex Twin over the past 10 years. Although they never released an album together, Vibert is known to regularly make tracks with him, and with Squarepusher and Mike Paradinis, creating scores of (to date) unreleased tracks.

Luke’s Wagon Christ moniker has probably earned him the greatest amount of exposure and sales, and his drum and bass workouts as Plug (Plug EPs 1-3 and ‘Drum and Bass for Papa’) are rightly regarded as seminal. However his work as Vibert / Simmonds also deserves specific mention: ‘Weirs’ (1993) is rugged, experimental yet warm, while ‘Rodulate’ is a collection of essential archive works from this period released in 2008 on Rephlex – an edgy, raw, beautifully analogue affair that tempers Vibert's kitsch side without getting rid of his effortless funk.

Vibert remains as busy and in demand as ever as he continues to genre hop the world over like almost no other. He is key to both the Bangface and Bloc camps (having been selected for five of their seven ‘weekenders’), and is widely recognized to consistently deliver when it comes to rocking the club floor. Expect all manner of electronic gems mashed together by a true maverick.
