I think you're wrong about it being Richard Brown. As I understand it they are
Chris Duckenfield and Richard Benson. Richard And Chris = RAC. They were
formerly known as Astrix and Space, northern rave boys back in the day, and
remixers of an Altern8 track. One of them (Chris?) works or worked in the WARP
shop in Sheffield. They have also released two EPs on Nucleus, a now-defunct (I
think) offshoot of WARP, which I think they were in charge of. The CD of
"Diversions" included 4 extra tracks taken from these earlier EPs, while the
12" mini-LP was just 5 new tracks.
