"Kerrier District" (produced by Luke Vibert)
Release Date:?Jan 26th 2004
Once again Luke Vibert has delivered Rephlex a
delectable slice of musical pleasure, which unusually,
is singularly dedicated to the delights of disco
music.
??I don?t think many people will believe it?s me who?s
made it,? say?s Luke.? ?It doesn?t sound anything like
me. Just simple disco grooves. It sounds live, but
it?s all programmed to sound like old disco.?
It might come as a bit of a shock after the
rave-tastic and well received junglist anthems of 2003
as Amen Andrews or the acid-Tinged ?Yoseph? album
released on Warp records.?
Luke?s inimitable take is stripped down like early
house, organic sounding but with a lush glowing
contemporary electronic feel, all groovy handclaps,
strings, cowbells, horns and creamy basslines, highly
addictive and very fresh.?
If you?re wondering why the album is called Kerrier
District, it?s named after a local council in mid
Cornwall where Luke grew up, not a place known for
it?s glittering debonair nightlife but it?s a name
that sounds well,pretty cool.
A fellow Cornishman and contemporary of Rephlex label
boss Richard James, Luke Vibert has released music
under various pseudonyms including the off-kilter funk
of Wagon Christ, the seminal drum ?n? bass of Plug and
a collaboration with steel guitarist BJ Cole as well
as remixing a host of his peers. Kid 606 even did a
track called ?Luke Vibert Can Kiss My Indie Punk
Whiteboy Ass', which pinched a sample from the Plug
track ?Military Jazz?. (Always a gentleman, Luke
played a gig with the Kid in Los Angeles in 2001).
Luke has also compiled two albums of library music
(Nuggets, Further Nuggets) for Lo Recordings. He
regularly D.J.?s all over the world when he?s not busy
making excellent tracks like these. ?
