Search - Ceephax :: Two

This is the third full-length release from the UK's Ceephax: also known as Andy Jenkinson, younger brother to Squarepusher. Following on from his Volume One release earlier this year, Volume Two encompasses an old school acid sensibility crossed with the energy and innovation of the famous Universal Indicator acid series, plus a melodic and moody experimental side that is revealed in mellower moments. Following his debut remixes of Squarepusher's Bioslate on Rephlex in 1998, he has released a multitude of EPs and albums on a variety of labels. (Breakin'/Firstcask/WeMe/Bug Klinik/Warp/Lo Recordings/Marguerita, etc.) Disco fans will also remember his blazing remix of Luke Vibert's Kerrier District. This is the hot sequel to Volume One, and also follows the Megalift EP on Planet Mu and a cassette release on his own Funbox imprint, Eurostar Acid. The style is techno/acid/house/drum and bass/experimental/ambient -- basically all electronic/dance styles, i.e. braindance. Similar in style to his other recent releases, only better. In Jenkinson's hands the sound of the 303 has taken on a new and important role that has surpassed the lame and predictable offerings from the psy-trance and acid techno camps. With a nod towards yesterday's heroes from Detroit, Chicago, Holland and Germany, Ceephax pushes the acid sound to the limit, from one end of the sonic spectrum to the the other. Pummeling technoid pounders, spazzed-out breakbeats and other assorted genre-defying experiments allow Jenkinson to smash the wonders of acid into those fortunate enough to witness his live performances.
