Yep...that's def one of the first...someone sent it to me when Google opened up their USENET archive a few months back...
Do a search on Rephlex - I seem to recall an excellent posting about the hardware used in creating UI & other rephlex early stuff....

for other fun history, check out the old archives of the idm mailing list which coined the term we all love to hate. The list was originally created to talk about Rephlex artists ... I didn't know that.

Yeah, that's a nice one.

yay..I love google...
Just found the details of one of my first AFX gigs...
"pOoTers pSycheDelic shAcK ChroniKles - 1993 23rd May Thee Hypnotics bass player Craig Pike dies from a heroin overdose in London.
14th August The 24 Hour Technicolour Dream at Brixton Academy, London with Hawkwind, Chumbawamba, Back To The Planet, Aphex Twin, Test Dept, Senser, Transglobal Underground and The Dub Warriors. Sound System by Club Dog, lightshows."...
Wow...14th Aug 1993 ... nearly 10 yrs ago...and what a gig it was (imagine a 24hr gig...altho AFX only played for about an hourandahalf of that...

in a word....NO...
R&S records was from Belgium....tons of good music came from there, late 80s early 90s...
All that NEW BEAT stuff, then R&S and all the begium Techno athems (which were well popular at raves around my way in Essex)...
But rdj is english...from Cornwall..

New Beat was pretty popular around here as well...but then house came in and NB kinda dissapeared was sucked into Acid/Hooverville...
I recall this one time I went up to the DJ to get him to play Voodoo Ray...He just finishes cueing the next track, takes off his headphone and then we have a chat...and then he's just about to put next track on so I say "How about a bit of Voodoo Ray?"..he smiles, passes me a joint, flips the fader and you can guess exactly what he played...
Smooth little moment...;)..

Excellent. Just noticed your from Chelmsford, I'm up that way next month. What's a good club or place in general to go to?

none I can think of...depends what you lie, I guess but Chelmsford is full of Sharon N Tracy types going to ritzy type clubs like Dukes, Zeus etc...
You're in luck if you like Wine Bars as well as we seem to have a viral growth of em at the moment....
But there is a nice little club called The Basement which is more geared towards students/beatniks etc. so they play a lot better music...think the night is called Bitter Scene or something like that...
Also D-Place in Chelmsford have DnB nights on Sundays I think....
What sort of places do you like to go to?..

Anywhere that plays the type of music we discuss here really. Also Rock music. I'm not adverse to Jumping Jaks but I have to be almost paralytic before I enjoy it,

OK Thanks for the info man. Last time I was up that way there was a record fair in the town hall or something. Managed to pick myself up SAW so I was happy. I did notice a lot of white Escorts around the place.

Unfortunately I will only have the Thursday night free to go out. Otherwise that DnB place would have been perfect. I'll probably go for the Army & Navy pub.
