Hello all I can safely say to all you Brain Dance fans out there, that i know a lot about Rephlex. Let me try and give you a guide on some of the traps that you might fall into, and how you shouldnt hope too much. Also will be some info on Aphex Twin. Note: I love Brain Dance, do not acuse me of not liking it, i make a lot of acusations that i see as a personal view or as a universal view. Brain Dance rules. Rule 1: A Remix can not always be a Remix Usually when you hear the word 'remix' you usually think that it is someone's re-making of a track, that consists of a few samples from the original track, and then a totally new load of sounds put into it. You think this applies to people at Rephlex? NO! A remix could be anything from a re-vamped version of the old song (Flicklife-Cylob remix, it is just the same song but re-masterd with better sound quality) to a completey different song (Come To Daddy-Mummy mix & Little Lord Faulteroy mix, both of these have nothing in common with the original track, they are two totally different tracks!) A remix could just be an excuse for putting new material out to the public! Rule 2: The look of a 'Profesional' Rephlexer When I say the 'profesional' Rephlexer, i mean a member of the record label that has been on the label for a while and has brought out a few albums/EPs off the label. Usually the Rephlexer will have long 'hippy' like hair, a rather unbelivebly tatty beard, a quite disturbing smile, and usually wear clothes that are suited to them. Rule 3: The equipment of a Rephlexer Today, a lot of artists like to show the world what equipment they use. This maybe because they are sponserd by the make, or that they just want to boast what equipment they have. It has been shown in many rephlexer's that they seem to have the same bits of equipment (Such people like Tom Jenkinson-Squarepusher, Richard D James-Aphex Twin-AFX-Caustic Window-Polygon Window etc. and Luke Vibert-Wagon Christ). All of these bits of equipment are made by the wonderful company Roland. Almost every Rephlexer would have these bits of equipment: Roland SH-101 Synthesizer, with brilliant bass sounds Roland TB-303 Bass Line, one of the most used bits of equipment in the electronic music genre Roland TR-606 Rythmn Composer, a piece of equipment that makes up percussive-beats. It was dubbed the TB-303's sidekick And the Rephlexer might have one of these lurking about, most likely the best analog drum machne ever created, the beautiful Roland TR-909 Now, if anyone out there wants to become part of the Rephlex label (lets hope you do) having these bits of kit could prove very very helpfull for the music. All of these would come around to the total value of £1750. So if youve got that much money lying around, and are serious about doing the music, then go to it. Rule 4: Live shows are extremely rare at times If you ever hear word about people in Rephlex playing LIVE (not DJing, but still that is a really good event) go to it straight away. You never know, it could be there last live show ever. For example, Cylob (Chris Jeffs) used to quite regularly play live, but then all of a sudden he stopped doing it forever. So if you hear something like this, go straight to it. Rule 5: Aphex Twin - The man Aphex Twin was the one who started the Rephlex label with Grant Wilson-Claridge. He started the whole Brain Dance revoloution, ths man is brilliant. If a new album of his ever comes out, go to buy it. In fact, buy most of his albums and singles. The music there is, un-describebly brilliant. One minute you could be listening to the most messed up drum beat and the hardest synth and bass riff youve ever heard, then you could be listening to mellowed ambient that lifts you off into a state of being that you never knew exsisted. |

Cheers for the Roland stuff. The rest was pretty fucking patronising, Aphex Twin is good? really? no shit! I came here to APHEXTWIN.nu because I think he sucks. |

It was supposed to be a complete beginners guide you dick, I suppose you weren't thinking straight while writing that, because of the "problems" with your brain. |

Yeah, i thought it was alright. At last someone is expressing a few views and making a few point. Positive. A change from slagging each other off. (Mind you that's good fun aswell). It's only patronising if you're in the mood to be patronised. Thanks Murray. |
